- Personally, I don't bother "hiding" my camera. It's a bit of a trade-off buy I usually keep it in my pant pockets for easy access.
Definite no to a fanny pack to carry important stuff in....
Definite yes to a money belt
under your clothes to carry passport, cash, etc as long as it stays invisible!. But a big no-no is to access in a public place the contents of said money belt. Last thing you need people seeing is that you have a stack of 50s on you.
I often put my camera in my pants pocket too, I bought a smaller one just so I can do that. There is no need for bulky cases/carrying it around your neck, etc
I dunno, I backpacked around the entire continent 3 times (ok I missed out on Moldova), and never, knock on wood, had a problem. Its really about common sense.
