I don't know if he was just intrigued by my backpack, or if he thought he'd find something to eat in it.

When it comes to photographing birds or moving animals, you really don't have much of a choice. You need an SLR with a telephoto lens. For landscapes or architecture, I think a smartphone is often enough. Depending on what I intend to do with my outing, I may or may not take my reflex.
That said, for better advice, @Waitman Gobble and @Tanja are more competent than me.

@lotfi I us an older Canon D50 DSLR with a mediocre 70-300 lens. But the images are great. What's your models of trust? That Canon is already heavy.

Mine is a modest EOS 550D with a 55-250 lens, all under 850 grams. It's still a bit heavy, but a lot less than yours, I imagine. As I do a lot of walking, i can't afford a heavier camera. Besides, photography is not a priority in birding for me.
