That is true much of the time, depending on the locato and appearance of the people. It's good to be able to grab the shot both with and without people in the frame. I remember years ago trying to get a certain angle on the statue of Lincoln at the Lincoln Memorial with a film SLR. The crowd was large and people were always in my way. 2 or 3 times someone actually elbowed me aside so they could stand right in front of me. In frustration, I abandoned that plan, and instead decided to play around with my 6X7 instead. All of a sudden, people started to stand back and give me plenty of room. I suppose the size of that monster, with the wood grip and a large hunk of glass, convinced the tourists that whatever I was doing must be important.
