Doug (who'd rather be ludicrous than lose a Leica) Cooper Actually, it is a commonplace among travelling photographers who visit dodgy locations: the cheaper your camera looks, the better. You don't want to look like a wealthy tourist, and you don't want to look like a pro. Nobody murders people for point-and-shoots.
