Camera Weights

My main focus has been to find out what is lightweight., so this is not a full list of all Nikon, Fuji, and Ricoh camera weights and lens weights.

That said, I have included one heavy camera because I ownd a Nikon D500, and that weighs 860g, I have included it to show where is sits in the continuum of weight. Basically, it weighs the same as two D3500s or three-and-one-third times the weight of a Ricoh GR III, or two-and-a-half times the weight of a Fuji X-E3.

I have also listed lightweight lenses. As you will see, the X-E3 plus a 27mm lens is 30g lighter than an X100s, but the form factor might make the X100s more pleasant to carry because the lens doesn’t stick out. If you like to protect your cameras like I do, then putting the X100s in a Fuji leather case is a good option but it bumps the weight up to 605g.

But then, after I bought the X-E3 I realised I was going to have to carry a Billingham case because otherwise I would have to carry the camera slung over my shoulder. And I really do not like carrying a camera without any protection. When I am using it, yes. But otherwise I like to protect it somehow, and the cases for the older model X100 series were perfect because they were all in one piece. That is not the case with the X100V and the X100VI. For some reason Fuji decided to make a case such that when you opened it, you were left with the top piece in your hand. And what are you supposed to do with that while you are shooting?

That said, if there is one brand that I observe stands up to rough treatment best, it is Nikon cameras. They wear well.
