Knowing me, if I carried a bigger bag I would just fill it up with more "stuff". A smaller bag is a self-regulating device to keep things to a minimum after placing the camera in the bag.

Practicality. Obviously. Just try it.
Have both. I generally use one of my two photo backpacks and my shoulder bag sits on the shelf. So was wondering if I was missing anything. The OP had very good reasons for a shoulder bag, I'll stay with my backpacks.
This one goes on one shoulder, can be adjusted to either one. You can swing it around without having to take it off. That is one advantage of this bag.

IMO the best....
Thank you. I will check out the size that will be right for this camera. I like the style.

I would love to be able to use a backpack. Unfortunately it just doesn’t work for me. I have a bag on wheels that holds most everything. But I have to have someone else along to lift it for me because my back could go out if I did and I’d have to lift it with just my good arm. That’s why I’m looking for something for just this one camera. Enjoy your backpacks. I wish I could.

I really should have sent the prior message to the person who wanted me to just try it. Thanks.

Thanks for this recommendation. I’ll check it out.
You ALL have been incredibly helpful. Thank you so much. Looks like I will end up ordering 2-3 of these and decide which works best for me.
I purchased this from Amazon. Bought it specifically because one reviewer was a photographer who said an SLR attached to a zoom fit in nicely. I can put my 80D and an 18-135 zoom in it. Even carry an additional smaller lens.

There's way too many to mention. Check B&H or go to your local camera store, or perhaps B&H. I prefer purchasing and inspecting my bags in person and I think I have more than anyone in their right mind! Best of luck.
I also have been happy with the Think Tank Retrospective 20 v 2.0 shoulder bag. It comfortably holds Z9, 100-400mm telephoto, 24-70mm lenses, teleconverter, battery, etc. The shoulder strap is comfortable and with velcro to close the flap it easy to access your equipment.
