Often of children. And they stood out, no one else really had cameras of that capability, most people just taking tourist and family pics had much smaller cameras with less zoom potential that looked much different, less like a DSLR and more like an older film rangefinder.
This period is burned into the common consciousness. You don't want to have a PEDO CAMERA in public.
