Safety issue when using expensive camera

Mar 27, 2011

Hi. I am new to FF. Very happy with the 5DII. Unfortunately, in the internet I hear lot of cases people will steal or even rob you when you have a 'big' camera, looks like that must be expensive, etc.

So I am in US and planning to go travel in Taiwan, China and Europe this year. Any suggestions that I can prevent these tragedies? Anything I should be aware of?

I am sorry for those who have been robbed before. But I would like to learn from you what you learn from the tragedy.
Thank you so much.
