Cameras and equipment can carry a high price tag. The larger models may be too bulky to take on a trip. A small, relatively inexpensive model will take good photos. Carrying an expensive camera leaves you open to theft. If you have one that is complicated and you have to change the lens, you may miss out on a fleeting moment that would have made a great picture.
