Could be a one-off. But it stands to reason that if you are the kind of photographer who waits for moments to shoot and everything isn't planned, a compact easy-to-carry but reasonably high-performance camera is a better choice than a large system camera you won't carry as much.

There is a lot of truth in that article.

It's meaningless. If people like his photos, then for the zillionth
time, what difference does it make what camera he used? Isn't it still
the case that the best camera in the world is the one you have with you
when opportunity knocks?

And you are much more likely to have with you the camera you can
easily carry.

I speak from the heart having recently returned from carrying a Nikon
D750 with 70~200 f/2.8 lens for several hours round a botanical garden
and park.

that's a special outing, where bringing a camera is common.

you certainly don't take that with you every day.

I have a Canon 5D Mk IV with battery grip. Pretty heavy with Canon's
70-200 Ÿ2.8. That, to me, is a studio lens, used on a tripod in or near
my home. If I had to take that or another heavy lens to a botanical
garden I would probably hire a bearer to carry it.

In the field I usually use a Canon 6D. Also full-frame, but lighter and
less loaded with features than the 5D

I.e. the iPhone. Right? It all depends on what you want to shoot, does it
not? A Canon Ixus isn't going to do you much good selling to a sports
magazine if that's the only camera you brought to a football game.

And that 70-200 f/2.8 and a 50 f/1.4 in your pocket, you're going to be able
to shoot images in that garden a m4/3 shooter could only dream of.

Bigger is better but the best camera is the one that you got with you. I
can bring the M (EOS!) in my everyday messenger without even thinking of
it until I need it. With three lenses: 12/2.0, 22/2.0 and 50/1.8!

The sensor is twice the size of the mFT, BTW. :-))

Both are 400mm lenses, but the Panasonic one has more reach.

And guess which one you can handhold longer:
