Everything is relative - better quality usually implies bigger "stuff" - the smallest "quality" oriented cameras might be the M4/3 cameras - barely. But they are tiny, light and less expensive. FF cameras might be the middle ground - heavier, bigger, less portable than the M4/3, but better quality images in general, but fairly expensive. The medium format cameras are slow, really heavy, and cost from $10k to $45k or more, but the quality is unparalleled.
I was kidding. I don't have medium format equipment, but in most cases I take my most appropriate equipment on trips & outings reguardless of weight & bulk. I do have a little Canon SL1 that I take to theme parks with grandchildren, but that is as much as I am willing to compromise for portability purposes. Bab
