[QUOTE="PatrickDeBie, post: 380739, member: 33785"] I don't take enough pictures to justify the purchase of an extra D7000 as a backup camera which would set me back another € 600 (= 751.74 U.S. dollars). I'd rather spend that money on a smaller camera like the Fuji Film X100 (maybe the S or T) which I can carry everyday with me, instead of the rather cumbersome D7000. Especially when I'm wandering on the streets I notice people don't bother the smaller X100 (borrowed it once from the store), but immediately become terrified or do unexpected stuff when I'm pointing the D7000 at them. Even when I'm using the small 50mm 1.8D Nikkor lens. I guess people still think the X100 is a 'toy' camera and not a serious one. One other 'trick' I use is that I'm using the monochrome picture style. When people notice I'm taking a picture of them and ask what I'm doing I show them the black&white image on my camera screen and tell them I'm doing some kind of "street-art-thingy". That way people don't get as angry as much when I'm shooting in color. Fun part is, the JPG on the camera screen is the JPG part of the RAW file. The RAW file itself still contains all the colors and when I'm opening the image in Adobe Lightroom I still have the complete full-color image. :) [/QUOTE]
