Do you take a camera on vacation?

We are packing for a trip to Hawaii. Beautiful scenery.

At the last moment, we considered whether to pack a camera. We have a digital SLR with three different lenses and a compact digital point and shoot -- both remnants from a time gone by when the camera in our cell phone was less sophisticated.

I dusted off the compact camera and had to charge it back to life. Honestly, I didn't even take the SLR out of the closet.

I can't remember the last time I used those cameras. (After I charge them, I'll get a better sense from the pictures on the digital card.) With the convenience and quality of my cellphone camera, I haven't missed the separate cameras. Yet thoughts of the scenery of Hawaii stir questions about how best to capture those visual memories.

I guess we'll see...
