Farewell to the DSLR camera

<< < (14/18) > >>

I do not miss DSLR after using mirrorless cameras. Focus errors and need to compensate due to different distance between exposure/focus sensor and image sensor, mirror and shutter shock ruined pictures and bulkier size due to mirror box are things that I do not miss at all.

Canon R5, R6, R7 and a lot RF glass here.

I think there are some non-issues listed above.

I see mirrorless as having incremental improvements in quite a few aspects over DSLRs. Video is a big improvement though.
How much these mean to you is for the individual to decide, based on their own use case.

I'm a cheapskate, who bought a broke D750 on eBay (gambled) and fixed myself (flex connector fubar :phew:).
I like it and the huge range of secondhand Nikkor glass available.
If you add the adapter size to the ML cameras, they're the same size as DSLR really, so you gotta buy ML glass, if the smaller size/weight matters to you.

Would I spend the £1K+ to go ML? No, I'm a cheapskate (in photography).
But would it improve my photos? Nah, not at my skill level, and I don't do video.

Choose the camera you like, and enjoy using it 8)

We're lucky to live in times when such a wide choice of gear is available, camera obsucra must have been a bitch to humph around the hills ;D

right, but I see my DSLR equipment losing value over time quickly. So I decided to sell it asap before it is too late.

mawyatt:
Another important technology innovation that has been emerging over the past decade is the use of an Electronic Shutter/Curtain with CMOS sensors. We began following this when they were first introduced since some of our Stack & Stitch Chip images can take 20 sessions with each session having 200~400 individual images per session. That's a lot of shutter/curtain excursions to render one final large Gigapixel image, which could easily wear out the shutter mechanism.

The Electronic Shutter/Curtain may not sound that difficult at first, just electronically turn on the image sensor and then turn it off to capture the image and then read out the pixels....right!!

When one digs into the details it's not so easy, the mechanical shutter/curtain has almost perfect optical opaqueness when closed, electronic shutter/curtains don't and can let intense light bleed thru before or after image capture, or even during readout. This is why some cameras with electronic shutter/curtains block the use of flash with electronic shutter/curtain use. Some of the Nikon cameras with Electronic Shutter/Curtains also employ mechanical shutters and have modes where both types are utilized.

Anyway, just another technology hurdle that requires addressing.

Best,

LOL, more like €20k glass included  :)

You are being too harsh to yourself. Will you get good pictures with DSLR? Absolutely. But with ML more of those and less frustration. I have noticed that of the amount of pictures taken with ML technically good ones are definitely majority, not so much with DSLR.

Yes and then it becomes expensive. However, that old adapted glass works much better in my experience in ML. Also, depends on what you would be adapting, with for example Sigma 40mm f/1.4 art or large telephoto the adapter is hardly an issue.

Any camera can be used to take excellent pictures. I have taken some of the best ever for myself with pocketables and DSLRs but ML makes the job definitely easier. They have their own quirks though.
