I have an SLR camera and a smaller camera, too. I'd love to take the bigger one, but...it's big. The smaller one is easier to carry around, but...it doesn't have the zoom that my SLR does.
The SLR takes the best photos, but the smaller one isn't bad at all.
I only want to have one carry on bag and a purse (that I just ordered and don't have yet) and I don't yet know if the SLR will fit in it. I know the small one will.
Is it worth it to lug around the big camera or will the small one be just fine?
