One other thing I dont see mentioned yet: People associate expensive cameras/lenses with journalists. Trying to get documentation out of a foreign, totalitarian country can be hard if you are walking around, carrying a sign that says “Im a journo”.

If you carry a smartphone, you just look like a tourist.
