What do you say when...

What does one politely say when someone notices you take lots of pictures of others and then offers to take your camera and take a picture of you, so you can finally be in one, but you are reluctant to relinquish your nice camera into someone else's hands?

Well, if the person has running shoes on.......
Actually, I have handed over my camera at times. Depends on my impression of the individual. The last time was to a young Japanese couple on Oahu. I had taken their picture with his camera. Some type of point & shoot, so, he offered to take mine. It was amusing watching him try to figure out why the display was blank, since I almost always use the viewfinder!

I have had this happen on a number of occasions. In various locations, here and abroad. I have never had a problem.

Go with your gut. Sometimes when this happened to me it didn't feel right and I declined other times I said thank you and handed over my camera. (The last time at the top of Wolf Creek Pass to a young motorcyclist).
One caveat, only with my point and shoot camera.

Just give them 'the look'. No one present will ask you ever again.

What's the conundrum?
You simply ask him to give you a cash deposit in the full replacent value of the equipment then ask him to sign a contract to make it promissory and have it notarized, in case he drops it or runs off.
If the person can't agree to that, then simply say, "NO", no other response necessary!
That's what I do!!!
