Honestly if its just for your vacation get something very small so you can just put it in your pocket and take with you everywhere.

I have a SD600 and a Pentax PZ10 SLR. I never take the pentax out anymore.
- its too heavy, after an hour of walking your shoulder will kill you.
- i have to take with the bag bc i have 3 lenses for it
- big camera means bigger target for thevies.
- if you are going to a sandy beach, don't even think about taking your DSLR, if sand gets in there it will cost you over 3-400 to fix/clean it. this happened to me in Wasaga :(
- can't just leave the bag by the beach, it will get stolen in less then 5 min.

Advantages of small point ans shoot camera
- easy to carry
- won't get noticed so you won't be a target
- you can just hide the camera in your pants pocket and go to the water and just leave your pants behind.


here is my 2 cents. I have been to too many vacation spots and i only too my SLR once and regret it ever since. Point and shoot all the way
