[QUOTE="wornish, post: 587527, member: 15434"] Read my full post #9 I said if the mirrorless has an APC or full frame sensor then they weigh about the same because of the lens size its just physics. If its a micro 4/3 then they are a lot lighter. A micro 4/3 has a 2x crop factor on a full frame. E.g. weight ................................D750 ...........................................OMD EM1 Camera ......................840 grams....................................497 grams Nikon lens 24-70..........900 grams .....Oly equiv 12-40.......382 grams This makes the FF option 1740 grams vs 879 grams for M4/3 excluding batteries grips etc. source : [URL="http://camerasize.com/compact/#567.327,482.412,ha,t"]Compact Camera Meter[/URL] Or if you want to go telephoto at 600mm FF 600mm lens ..............3810 grams....equiv 300mm........ 1270 grams Making FF total weight 4650 vs M4/3 1767 gram As the focal length increases the difference in weight does too.
