They’re discreet

Taking photos anywhere can be a pain when you have security following you around and asking you not to. But don’t you ever wonder why they don’t go after the tourists with the tiny point-and-shooters?

This scenario mostly happens when you have a DSLR strapped around your neck, because everybody thinks you’re a professional and you’re making money from your photos right then and there without a permit (a less suspicious way of saying they need a cut). Why do you look professional with a big SLR? We don’t know exactly, but there’s something about looking into a viewfinder that triggers the alarm.

Nope, you don’t use them like this.
