DSLR cameras: What's your weapon of choice?

[peggygee]

Most point and shoot cams by canon and sony can deliver good photos (with proper lighting) despite the limited feature set

I just bought a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX48 off of Amazon for $100, it's 12MP
with HD video.

When I'm travelling in a foreign country, or place where security frowns
and picture taking I hate having to carry my bulky DSLR and a HD video
cam. Or I'm in the hood, and one doesn't want to be having expensive
looking equipment.

Another problem area is when you go to a concert or club and they don't
want to let in pro or prosumer equipment, and I'd rather not shoot at all if
all I could shoot with is a phone camera.

I've also just got a bunch of photo and video editing software, so I am very
anxious to try some new things.

So it looks like the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX48 will hit the sweet spot.
