Big DSLRs are obnoxious.
Nobody is offended by an old-timey looking small camera that someone is carrying around their neck in a leather strap and taking the occasional snap.
Lug around that big black battery grip DSLR with big lens with that loud CANON CANON CANON branded strap and people are gonna think you are a sperg.
It's not just size or weight, it's the image, not the photo but you. Less is more.
