Travel without a DSLR but with a phone camera - possible or painful?

"Why?" is an excellent question. Travelling light would be the answer, but travelling light in several respects. Not only is a phone much lighter to hike far with than a DSLR, but it is also less bulky in crowded areas, less obvious to spot by shady individuals, and a pocket phone is not anything one would ever need to leave at a cheap hotel room, where the staff might be tempted to snatch it.

(I know most people are honest. I have travelled to most European countries and a dozen countries outside Europe and never had any problem with thieves anywhere myself, but I know they exist.)

Great answer! I had hoped someone would recommend the iPhone 5, as I'm looking at that for other reasons. I heard good things about the Galaxy S3 as a phone as well of course.
