Quick question : Are there any precautions needed when taking my DSLR up the cabin of the plane when going overseas? Are there any issues with pressure or anything?
Shouldn't have any problems, in fact you should also be able to take photographs from the plane, though you should do that discretely.
Yes u can but according to rules on board, no photography when plane is taking off and landing. U can do it but don't get caught.
Thats not very good advise to give....

It's a SOP, if u insist, they will offload u.
My point is, it's not good advise to tell someone to take photos secretly when you are not supposed to switch on your camera in the first place.
You mean we should question such rules?
I don't think they have a rule that prohibits photography explicitly but rather requires you to switch off all electronic devices when taking off or landing as it may interfere with the plane's flight instruments.... Who's going to be accountable if the plane crashes?
The main reason why it's not allowed during take off and landing (including portable game consoles and laptops) is for personal safety.

can i understand why it affects personal safety?
BTW, pressurisation inside the plane to ONLY to allow passengers on board to feel the same pressure on air as it is on earth. The reason why some get blocked ears is due to change of altitude, the pressure remains the same.

Emergency manoeuvres are a lot more likely during take-off and landing (e.g. aborted landings). Having loose equipment around, or paying more attention to your gadgets than your surrounding, puts you and others around you at greater risk.
