I think a lot of the new bodies were designed specifically so that a giant computer operated machine could put all the tiny little parts into the body with no labor cost and with zero thought to every having to repair one of those little parts. Not like things were built half a century ago when they were designed to be repairable. I have three modern DSLRs, I would NEVER bring one on a bike trip or canoe trip or kayak trip or anything like that. (Oops, have two more that were retired years ago due to small sensor size, have five.)

I have a mirrorless camera, takes DSLR lenses and I would be afraid to take that, I would not want to shake the lenses that much but I am sure the camera body could handle it.

I mentioned above I bring a waterproof point and shoot camera on bike tours, this one:

Later models have the Ricoh name, Ricoh bought Pentax years ago, thus the name change.
