I try to remember to take my d3000 with 18-55 lens everywhere but a few times lately o have missed amazing things, a grey heron, swans and baby cygnets - now I have a new bag that looks like a handbag and is small and the rest of my kit in the larger bag - to try to make it easier to carry - I also use iPhone and my casio exilim - but i prefer image quality of Dslr
