I agree. I think I was the only one on my river cruise that had a professional camera and lens. But because I have done this so many times, I did not feel strange, or out of place. I was amused by all the people using cell phones. Some day those will be up to par with the ton of equipment I carried. But not as of yet. You cannot get the DOF, and cropping ability with the cell phones.
I was on a one day river cruise on the Mississippi river. Another gentleman and I were the only ones with cameras that that exchangeable lenses. That was before I had a zoom lens. He took his lens off and let me use it for awhile.
