My wife and I spend a lot of time bike touring. We are presently taking a rest day in a small town in Poland to take a breather, edit pictures, and as it turns out take a few more.
Photography is always a big part of our tours. I've taken right at 2000 photos in the first month of this trip. We both have good DSLR's and a nice assortment of lenses--at home!
For bike trips we have gone to mirrorless, almost full sized sensor cameras. They will do anything our DSLR will do and in some situations even more. We both use the Sony a6000. My previous "bike" camera gave up the ghost on a tour earlier this summer. I was so impressed with the results of my wife's Sony that I got one to replace my beloved Canon G12. After using the Sony for a month, I'm still amazed at the results. It is between a point and shoot and my DSLR in size and fits nicely in my bar bag.
The mirrorless systems are worth looking at.
