Point and Shoot

I just read an interesting article about a photojournalist who uses a digital P&S instead of a fancy Digital SLR. That makes sense. The newer digital P&S's can sometimes be almost as good as Digital SLR's for most types of photography so there's no reason to speed $10,000 on a Canon 1D if a $500 P&S will do the job. Also, big professional cameras can sometimes get in the way. If people see a P&S you might just be a tourist, no big deal.
