dazzamac said:I brought Nikon D80 DSLR on my first Camino last September. I have no regrets bringing it as I knew from the outset that it would mean that I would have to take extra precautions and sacrifice other items so that I could afford the weight.
I carried my camera, passport, wallet and other valuables in a showerproof camera bag that I modified slightly so that I could attach it to the front of my backpack. This meant that my valuables were always in sight and that my camera could be reached without removing my backpack. On reaching an albergue, I took the bag into the shower with me and at night, I kept it at the bottom of my sleeping bag liner. My backpack was frequently left unattended but wherever I went, the smaller bag with my camera and valuables came with me. As DIY solution, it was less than perfect but it worked.

The same is happening with phone cameras, 8 MP is common and it will improve, in built editing and geotagging features, pictures can be emailed or put into FB, or put into storage into apps like Dropbox where all those in your circle can access the hot off the press pictures. Only DSLR cameras with inter-changeable lenses can produce the absolute photographic purity which avid photographers crave for and take pleasure in attaining.
