Should I bring my heavy & expensive camera?

Camera – I have several and once made the mistake of bringing a big fancy Nikon and it sucked because it was heavy and took up space.  Just bring a small camera and get pictures developed back in the USA (save lots of $ and you can get them the same size prints in the USA so they fit in your photo albums).  Also, a point and shoot is nice to snap a qick picture for something that you may only have 10 seconds to prepare for.

I brought a point and shoot, 35mm-it's the same camera I have always travelled with and it was fantastic. It's a Pentax-which I highly recommend. If you want to see proof, check out my photos section.
