Ideally i would have 1 DSLR for serious works, and 1 mirrorless for travel

I sold off my nikon kit years ago because it's too impractical for travel, which is the majority of what i shoot anyway. how using mirrorless and happy with it. but of course i miss a few things:

- battery life.. for sure need 1 or 2 extra batteries even shooting just for fun
- start-up time. mirrorless will have a few seconds delay compared to DSLR which turn on instantly
- expen$ive. sony lenses generally are on the high side. Also, less used lenses in the market

it's true that once you put on any other lens apart from the kits, the size advantage is minimal. but i really like the flexibility. if i just feel like taking photos for fun, i can slap on the 16-50 and dont really think about it. it's still a major difference compared to any DSLR with a 18-55

im using sony a6000 the kit lens extends just a bit after the grip. not the sharpest lens but decent enough, with OSS too.

haha its true DSLR feels better in the hand.
