>>3801807Soberly put, it depends a lot on how you shoot and also whether video is for you. I find a lot to like about both camera paradigms, but I'm also someone who has spent more than 15 years with SLR and therefore considers them second nature. On the other hand, mirrorless cameras are an inevitable step that offers many possibilities that I'm glad I can rely on, but that I'm not dependent on and that I sometimes wish I could do differently.
Also just imagine holding an SLR in front of someone's nose who is coming from taking photos with his mobile phone. How much dumber focus and recompose must seem to them, or looking through the optical viewfinder, or realizing there are only poorly implemented or not implemented touch gestures for exposing and focus.
In this respect, both cameras mentioned here are compromises and I have no really great suggestion for a camera with good control when looking through the viewfinder at full viewfinder coverage auto-focus. Eye and face autofocus are actually a necessary step, not a feature, and it only helps with people. Touch and drag still feels awkward, to be honest. Not using the viewfinder is just as a bummer. And here we come back to manual photography, which as a beginner one may not yet appreciate and master, and only fancy more direct control at a later stage.
