Never had any problem in Toronto either.


But you surely should pay attention on your equipment. I guess an XS with some assorted lenses won't rise too much attention. To be the safest, leave any white L lens at home as you may not even need them for a bisuness trip - their size and color make them very special. As said, DSLRs now are so common that they may not specially be targets anymore. make sure to hang your camera around your neck or hold it tight in hand, then you'll be ok.


I had experience shooting in some cities in China with my friends, apprently one of my friend has had his camera strap cut and being taken away quickly from the back when his camera was locked on his shoulder. At that moment he had a 70-200/2.8L IS on the camera...
