Yeah, I noticed a lot of museum/zoo shots that I'm sure would have given me slack shooting with an old DVX.
I've always been too self conscious to film in public places with my old gear, I was involved once in a viral ad shot on a street in Brooklyn, and the manager of a local bank came out and started demanding that we show some kind of permit or something to be filming with his building in the background.
I think now that I have a DSLR, I can try this again (although with my shoulder mount and recording any kind of audio, the gear starts to resemble something more than "some folks goofing around"). I have a sketch concept that involves shooting in JFK, and I've always been scared to do it before. Maybe I should muster up the courage and try with a minimal setup...
