Street Shooting - RF or SLR

[kshapero]

Yesterday I stood at a street corner in NYC for about 2 hours. The mass of characters that walked by was incredible. I shot 3 rolls with my ZI and 2 rolls with my Nikon FM3A. Lots of street noise, so shutter sound was immaterial, even I could not here it on either rig. Anyway I noticed no difference in how people reacted to the RF versus the SLR. It did not seem to matter that the ZI is supposedly more "stealthy". People either gave me a slight stare or none at all regardless of the camera I was using. Man, that city is alive!
