There's not nearly so much to be gained from DSLR FF (Canon EF, Nikon FX) to mirrorless FF. Especially if the bag contains more than a couple lenses, because mirrorless FF lenses tend to be slightly longer than DSLR FF equivalently-spec'd counterparts (to make up the flange distance). | |

| Sep 27, 2021 at 22:01 | comment | added | Osian | It’s a canon canon eos 2000d - there isn’t anything particular sensitive with this camera? | |
| Sep 26, 2021 at 19:16 | comment | added | Ross Millikan | @scottbb: the ability to put glass closer to the sensor can reduce the total volume, particularly for short focal lengths. I have gone from a Canon 7D DSLR to M6 mirrorless. The 15-45 kit zoom for the M6 is a nice little thing, | |
| Sep 26, 2021 at 17:11 | comment | added | scottbb♦ | The lenses can also be smaller as they are mounted closer to the sensor. This isn't really true. Or at least, requires a caveat. Yes, the lenses are mounted closer to the sensor. But for equivalently-spec'd lenses, on equal-size sensor cameras, there is essentially no size savings for mirrorless vs. DSLR camera+lens combination. In fact, again, for equal-spec'd lenses, mirrorless lenses are often larger than their DSLR equivalents. The lenses still have to pack the same stuff, same glass, same motors, but also have to make up the missing flange focus distance that the body no longer has. | |

| Sep 25, 2021 at 23:40 | comment | added | Osian | That’s brilliant! I’m not much for backpacks myself and rather the frame, but do want to get into photography on the bike | |
| Sep 25, 2021 at 22:37 | comment | added | Ross Millikan | I have carried a camera (a Nikon P900 megazoom, but that should be about as fragile as a DSLR) in a backpack on a road bike with no problems. I was on a hard packed dirt road, but I didn't do it much. | |
| Sep 25, 2021 at 22:07 | comment | added | Osian | It will be in the bag but the bag will be attached to the frame which while isn’t going to be high frequency as a motorbike, there’s a lot less suspension compared to a motorbike | |
