After more than 10 years shooting Canon, most of those full frame, I’ve decided to move to a mirrorless system, likely Fuji. The main motivation behind this is that my camera gear often gets left at home. I never take it out on my mountain bike because it is too big to fit in my hydration pack and too heavy.
I’m hoping a mirrorless system will change this, I’m particularly looking forward to having a small body and fast prime that I can slip into my hydration pack and whip out to take photos of the stunning scenery I’ll be riding through, or my mates riding etc.
However, I don’t want my shiny new mirrorless camera rattling around in my hydration pack with spare innner tubes, snacks, tools etc, I’d also like it to have some protection when I fall. Simply wrapping it up in my waterproof jacket is not good enough!
Is anyone else taking a mirrorless camera or even a large compact, out on their bike? I don’t need a dedicated rucksack/camera bag, I’ve already got too many, ideally just something to protect my camera in an existing rucksack.
