a camera that you feel comfortable with is surely the best one for street photography, especially any kind of portraits of strangers. if you are happy using it, it doesn't matter if you have to stick it on a tripod to keep it still, you'll just get different pictures. some people are curious, some people are non-plussed, some are not.
while an unobtrusive camera means you can take more candid shots, to be honest I am never sure about "stealing" photos that way. it makes me uncomfortable. but that's a whole other topic of debate... I have no natural journalistic instinct.
