    What I've always done in such situations is to have a wide-angle compact at hand at all times. Need to take a snap shot in a situation when your SLR is not fitted with a wider lens? Snap out the compact for a quick shot.

    Also bring a cheapo compact as backup-cum-groupshot camera. In situations where you either think it is unsafe to show-off your "diamonds" publicly or need to ask a stranger to take a touristy picture of you, the wife and mummy saying "cheese", it is better to hand him an A40 etc than your...
