My travel priority is fantastic photos, but will the SLR be too big, get in the way, or temp theft from locals crooks around the world? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/5887844 Im backpacking around world for a year. Do i take my digital SLR or a decent point and shoot camera? My travel priority is fantastic photos, but will the SLR be too big, get in the way, or temp theft from locals crooks around the world?<br /><br />Crooks are just as tempted by P&amp;S cameras.

My mom's friend was mad at her daughter and when they went out to dinner the mom wouldn't let the daughter order anything and made her sit there and watch her(the mom) eat as punishment.<br /><br />I think that&#039;s quite cruel.

So for me, Disneyland is not the best place in the world. Also, I&#039;ve only been to a dozen or so countries, which is well under 10% of the nations out there.

The problem is that F5 defaults to volume control (at least on my Mac). If you press fn+F5, it&#039;s refresh. Alternatively, just use Cmd+r.
