>>2605244How? Or should I say how is it different than limiting yourself to/by any other option?
I have shitload of glass & gear for my DSLR, so much even, that my wife constantly bitches about it. I'm limited in storage space. Otherwise it's all good and nice, I have a few trophy shots... let's say 20 (or maybe 25 if I squint a bit) in the last 7 or 8 years...
Except, it cost a ton of money (not worth it, but I'm a stupid fuck and have to learn the hard way). It's getting heavier as I get older, and it wasn't worth it. I'm limited in mobility. My wife sure doesn't want to carry the shit either.
I bought a mirrorless this year since my kids brutally murdered the family compact. It's better then my 6yo DSLR in: ISO performance, resolution and speed. I got three killer shots in about a month since I have it just because I have the will and the strenght to lug it around all the time. So for me it's actually liberating and not limiting - I know that I'll have much less shit to carry on vacation this summer. And I know my wife won't bitch as much so I'm actually looking forward to it.
Anyway, buy one if you're just starting out. It's much kinder to your wallet. And you really won't notice any difference in quality of your photos. From the view point of aesthetics at least.
I would get one with a hot-shoe though. I use ocf a lot.
