Although I shoot primarily sports using Canon 1 series DSLR bodies, I travel quite a bit and for short trips via air a Canon M6 II with its 18-150 is my camera setup of choice. With the responsiveness of 1 series bodies, phone cameras drive me crazy...
I was reminded tonight while shooting a HS soccer match that it is often easy to complain about camera specifications, control layout, menu design, etc. but compared to the true pain our subjects often suffer we have a VERY easy life as photographers...
