Perhaps, come the day that my old Samsung cellphone has a screen where the image is visible in daylight, then I, too, will let the Nikon batteries go uncharged.
It's no pleasure carrying around temptation; I could never outrun a fifteen-year-old mugger of either gender. Not only the temptation factor, but the way a camera makes the rest of the population view one with distinct mistrust gets in the way of catching life on the hoof without being observed.
I believe that there is more to it than one's inability to do an HC-B and be invisible: the difference is not in the photographers but in a public now so aware of intrusion, law and COMPENSATION, and which sees cameras as threats/opportunities. Cellphones, on the other hand, make you a tourist whom everyone ignores as best they can. A 12 megapixel cell would be pleasant, shooting Tiffs!
