Lucky I think Vancouver isn't as bad as London/England yet.
It's understandable people are more threatened by big black cameras than the little silver ones. But its kinda sad for us who use SLRs... if I ever get to travel in London, I would want to shoot with a better camera. But I don't want threatening looks from everywhere.
Hey if I am a terrorist or paedophile, I think I will be more discreet of what I am doing and use a cell phone not a SLR??
