My heavy camera is killing my wrist 😣 This is why a bigger camera isn’t always better

I’ve always gravitated towards bulky cameras. My first serious camera was a Nikon D800. Then came the Nikon D850 and then the Nikon Z8. I invested in these cameras because of their specs, and never really considered their size and weight to be a problem, since my main area of focus was sports, wildlife, and landscapes.

Recently, however, I’ve been doing a lot more street photography – and for the first time ever, I’ve begun to begrudge my camera’s form factor.
