You always need to keep an eye on your camera, especially on vacation, when it's easy to get distracted.

• Use an old camera bag—one that once stored a low-quality camera—to make the item look less appealing.

• Don’t dangle the strap on your shoulder when you’re out and about. This makes it really easy for someone to grab it.

• Use Eye-Fi—an SD memory card that automatically uploads pictures to a home computer or online photosharing service as soon as you’re linked to a familiar wireless network. This helped one woman track down the thief who stole her camera.

• Install GadgetTrak software. If someone steals your camera and connects it to their computer, the website will show you where it is and help you recover it.
