<p>Again, thank you everyone for your responses! I have decided to take the Nikon 1 and the D200 and my daughter will be using a P510. If I feel too vulnerable with the DSLR I will simply leave it in the room safe! <br>

Again, thank you everyone!!!!</p>

<p>Hi All<br>

Thanks again for everyone's response! Since I WILL be lugging the DSLR around with the 70-200 lens and given the fact that it is not a small concealable item, will I need to worry about carrying it around? It will be me, a 66 year old female and my 48 year old daughter, and it seems as though as long as we use common sense about where we go, we will be ok? What do you think? <br>

PS: No pics to Auntie but maybe an enlargement for the wall should I shoot something that I want to look at on a daily basis. I do take the typical touristy shots but tend to lean towards the unusual.<br>

Thanks again to everyone.</p>

<p>THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR YOUR RESPONSES TO MY QUESTION!!!! I have decided I will take both and go from there! I am slightly leary of carrying the DSLR around since it will just be my daughter and myself, with no male presence around.....but I don't think either of us looks particularly vulnerable. I really leaned towards leaving the D200 at home until it occurred to me that I too, make coffee table books with full pages, etc. And I don't guess it makes a lot of sense to own a DSLR and leave it at home. <br>

Again, thank you so much for all the help!!!</p>

<p>I am traveling to Italy at the beginning of the month. I normally carry a Nikon D200 with a 70-200 mm lens which is VERY heavy after awhile. I purchased a Nikon 1 J3 with a 30-110 lens to carry while sightseeing, along with a Nikon 7000.<br>

Now I am having second thoughts about leaving my D200 home. Will I regret it? Should I just bite the bullet and haul it around? Or will the Nikon 1 suffice.<br>

Thanks.<br>
