Help me with my dilemma!

As most of you know I am off to travel around Europe for 2 months as of Sunday 10th July. I am so excited to visit so many amazing cities and see some great sights such as in Rome, Venice, Prague, Amsterdam etc.

However. I have a problem.

Do I or do I not take my big canon 1000D SLR camera? I have a bog standard small digital which I will take but I can't decide whether to take my big'un along as well.

Here are the 2 sides to my dilemma;

Cons
  1. The insurance will cost me £25. This will cover any damage to the camera, but NOT if it is stolen or lost
  2. If it gets stolen or lost I then have to pay an additional £105 to even start to claim the money back to get a new one (that is a lot!!)
  3. It might get quite annoying and heavy to carry around all day every day
  4. Or if I'm not taking it out for the day with me I have to leave it in a dorm (locked in my bag of course, but still a little risky)


Pros
  1. Simply, I will get some AMAZING photos from it that I can keep for the rest of my life and frame or canvas or even sell


Do I take my BIG canon camera travelling with me?

Thanks!

    Hope your trip is going marvelously well. Just stopped over from "Better After" and have enjoyed visiting your fun blog while I'm hugging the AC. (It's over 100 F. in Tunisia today.) Your makeovers are great and the turquoise mirror is adorable--great color and very nice photography.
    best, nadia
