After my DSLR and all my lenses got stolen in the burglary this winter, I bought new gear. I had been vaguely thinking anyway about getting a mirrorless camera, but I couldn’t quite justify the expense, since I already had two perfectly good cameras.<\/p>\n

But now that I didn’t (have two cameras) I had an opportunity to switch. And that’s what I did. Instead of replacing the Nikon DSLR with a similar one, I bought an Olympus mirrorless camera.<\/p>\n

The camera itself feels solid and quite chunky. But the lenses weight so little that it’s hard to believe they are for real and not just fakes for displaying in a shop window. My whole kit is much, much smaller and lighter.<\/p>\n

So much so that I don’t even need a separate camera bag any more. I tried using the bag I have, but it was worse than just cramming everything into a plastic bag in an ordinary backpack: the teeny little lenses just rattled around in it. So out it goes.<\/p>\n

I’m trying to sell it, but coming to realize that there might not be much demand for this kind of bag any more. I guess nowadays only serious photographers use DSLRs, and they carry way more equipment than you could possibly fit in such a small bag. (It fits one smallish DSLR and two lenses.) And amateurs buy smaller cameras, or just use their phones.
