Besides being a product for poorfags, literally what reason is there to buying a DSLR in 2021?
The technology in DSLRs is ancient and there's nothing they have that a mirrorless doesn't have and do better.

I'm undecided whether I'd still start with DSLR today. The main discouragement would be that it's not worth learning a way of photographing that will soon be obsolete and that already is accounted for less in cameras.
Other than that net performance per price for cameras and lenses is an argument. Net, because you have to get involved in this old-fashioned way of photographing that requires experience and practice. In other words, an argument is very sophisticated and direct control out of the box for rather manual operation around focus and recompose.
The focus acquisition (speed, certainty, stickiness, not precision) for the center of the AF field of the aging DSLR in combination with fast lenses is hard to beat - In unfavorable situations even sooner rather than later. The metering of the mirrorless only works out advantages due to the larger sensor area. It has to compensate that its sensor is not mainly optimized for autofocus, but for imaging.

Mirrorless shooters from the future might as well let the camera decide the framing too if that's your idea.

You're derailing my statements.. The main leap forward of current cameras is that the photographer no longer has to pick up and save the exposure and focus point with the center field(s), but can pay attention on framing immediately.
Also lens and sensor stabilization makes a steady stance less important.

I think I understood the point you were driving at. My post comes from my view that it makes no sense to focus on methods that are already less in demand with the latest cameras. I'd go so far as to say that first practicing "focus and recompose" makes it difficult and awkward to later switch to subject, face and eye tracking that depend rather on the situation than your skill. Since many photos fail because a photographer has to worry about technical problems instead of focusing on more important things, it makes much more sense to gain experience with modern cameras and only take the step back when problems arise.
New technologies bring out enablers so you don't have to do extra work and you benefit from that ease. If the extra work is already easy for you, you don't need the enablers and may even have the benefit of more control.

I understood your point, hence why i don't agree with it, you need to knock someone around so he can thrive in most situations later.
A person needs pressure to rely on his instincts, of course those being polished by exercises, if not then you will have modern photographers who stand around like statues looking at the finder for 3 or 5 minutes figuring out the framing rather than quickly knowing what to do after many outings having to deal with the technical aspects.
Also makes the future photographer a gatekept hobby relying on only having expensive cameras rather than someone who knows how to operate one. But yo do touch an important point, it is not a matter of values or tastes from us but a matter of what the market says and does.

I understand that completely, what remains is that the example seems exaggerated to me as there are other new means, too. Quickly resorting to peaking or magnifier on an already roughly positioned focus area can make more sense than operating a mirrorless camera like a DSLR. Now what is faster or more suitable has to do with your own skills, in what context you photograph, so ultimately what you've grown into.

>>3852751
Car comparisons like to be too far off, but note taken.

Overall, I think the discussion here already gives away that you don't gain much with current cameras over older ones, but the gain can still be valuable, as well as learning new/broader skills. What that exactly looks like in detail, one has to weigh up for oneself.
I'm curious to see where the camera development and market goes.

Just to disclose where I stand: I'm not entirely satisfied with either the current offerings or the further use of aging cameras, which will soon reach their end of support or with an update to the latest model obviously represent the end of their line. I wish there were yet clearer hybrids with some perspective, but everyone bailed out. At the moment I use adapted mirrorless cameras next to old DSLR. In particular I do not want to commit with buying lenses and accessory, but with defects I will be forced to. :-/

This is the main reason I’m iffy about switching to mirrorless full time. I looked at the CIPA rated battery life of the canon R5, looked at the number of pictures I take when shooting a show, and discovered that I’d need to have two or three spare charged batteries on me at all times, and more like five or six for really big events that my DSLR can do with one.

Not sure how close CIPA ratings hew to reality, but my expectation is that the actual life will be even worse than that.

I don't think there's a technical reason other than budget and specific implementations that might be available in one system but not another despite being possible on both.

The SLR design was a compromise to begin with, and the reason it dominated was that it was a far better compromise, to most, than non-ttl viewing/focusing (rf, viewfinder cameras, etc.) that proceeded it.
Modern mirrorless doesn't have the limitation of not being able to view through the lens unless there is a mirror, like film cameras had.
In most major aspects, it's the best of both worlds: you view through the mirror *and* you get to enjoy more unrestricted optical designs in lenses *and* you have less moving parts + bulk.

No objection so far. But there is a problem with the "if".
Relying purely on subject tracking and subject-guided exposure is out of question. It just doesn't always work out. Ergo, I use redundant functions to simplify shooting as much as possible, but to be able to assist and intervene when needed. With more functionality cameras lack significantly more button assignment options for quick full and partial mode changes, and for mirrorless in some small aspects, similar AF performance to DSLR. Still, I don't want to carry around two different systems. So at the moment, I'd still like to see more advanced customization options or even programming and would still be interested in a hybrid to get the best of both worlds.

The whole difference between a DSLR and a mirrorless camera is a mechanical part which can (and frequently does) fail. As a result a DSLR dies often either when the mirror or the shutter dies, a mirrorless only when the shutter dies.

These are options, but they’re really annoying to do. Every day I’d have to get into the habit of loading up a bunch of batteries in the charger, and I’d have to make sure to swap them out before every shoot. And if I forget... we’ll, halfway through the shoot, I’ll probably have to run to my car and get my backup DSLR.

My current plan is to wait and hope battery/sensor tech catch up to the point that mirrorless cameras can get 1000+ shots to a charge like DSLRs, then switch.

It depends on the shooting style, but I suspect that Sony's cameras using the NP-FZ100 battery already achieve 1000 frames for you without meticulous shutdown. At least for me (>>3852827) the Sony mirrorless are not far from the DSLR.

This is kind of bullshit. I mean yes, in theory, shorter reg distance gives lens designers some flexibility for WA glass. In practice they're still building big retrofocus designs because of IQ issues. (Namely angle of light striking the sensor.)

>*and* you have less moving parts + bulk.
Mostly bullshit for FF. The lens size limits how small you can make the bodies. Only a few crop (aps-c or m43) cameras really take advantage of this.

As I said all your complaints are about current implementations in reality, and not the general design (mirror vs mirrorless).
And the reason that many of your complaints are actually true, is manufacturers trying to milk the market.
There's no reason an exactly equivalent mirrorless camera shouldn't be cheaper, lighter and more reliable than a dSLR. The reason many aren't is because no manufacturer will make exact equivalents to their dSLRs for market segmentation and so that they can justify their milking, since you can't compare 1-1.

Why do you think the mirror was put in there in the first place?
It made cameras considerably more complex, more bulky (compared even to RF that adds bulk on its own), and more expensive.
You can check the contemporary prices, say between a Leica rangefinder vs Leica SLR, or say a Contax rf vs a Contarex SLR.

maybe you tried a MILC five years ago. These days you have OLEDs with extremely high resolution and high FPS too.
It's especially nice at night, the image is better than real life since it's much clearer and brighter.
Colors are more accurate in dark scenes too because you don't get the "everything becomes bluish gray" effect that human eyes have in low light.

And pure noise in truly dark conditions. Show me an EVF with a clean Milky Way at 24 f/1.4, or Orion Nebula at 200 f/2.8. (Admittedly the A7sIII may do this, I haven't tried it yet.)

Forgot to jump on this: color and contrast are off in every EVF I've viewed. And this, more than resolution, leads to my VGA critique. I don't expect the rear LCD to match my calibrated 4k screen, but it's at least in the ballpark. EVFs are washed out, blocked up, and just off.

This doesn't really stop you from judging exp though and the one thing I will give EVFs is that it's trivial to use manual exposure and ETTR every shot, unless you're shooting fast action. Then again a spot meter is about as easy and I prefer an OVF.

Different people have different eyes and optical centers of their brains. I agree with you that all of the EVFs I've used in recent memory (including the shitty one in my Sony SLT and the high-end-for-its-day one in my Fuji X-T1) look perfectly fine, to the point that I often forget I'm not looking directly at reality, but that's not everyone's experience. Humans are just built differently from each other.

Funny, the most expensive system cameras out there without getting into Leica exotics are DSLRs.
The 1DX III is more expensive than the Alpha One, and the D5 and D6 are literally two dollars cheaper than the Alpha One.
Meanwhile in the low end, $500 gets you a mirrorless camera with lens while $550 gets you a DSLR body without lens.
You start with false premises and arrive to wrong conclusions.

Depends. When tracking a moving subject, even an A9 or R5 will fall behind due to lag in the imaging pipeline (every photo taken introduces more lag). DSLRs don't have that problem. So if you're trying to catch the peak moment of a bird in flight or an athlete, might end up being your eye that's most important.

>But lag
WRONG!

Nikon d800 has a 40ms shutter lag, turns out moving a big flappy mirror out the way takes time!
Sony a7iii has 22ms evf lag and zero shutter lag on electronic shutter or 9ms mechanical...

Surely if evf lag is an issue, then the d800 should be flooded with people complaining about the shutter lag with it being twice as bad as the evf lag in sony cameras? But there's literally no-one complaining.

Also, to put that 22ms lag in to perspective, professional athletes have a reaction speed of around 230ms, you think a lag less than 1\10th of what the best reactions in the world can manage is a problem?

You're just proving your ignorance and perpetuating your embarrassment with every post.

dslr is like tank. big, tough, plenty of power, feels good with it's barrel (lens)

mirrorless is a weird mutant hybrid where the lens are still giant, but the cameras all have to be small and cute (and fit not large enough batteries)

if you put the sony 70-300 on a sony mirrorless, the camera doesn't sit flat on the table, it floats in the air by a couple mm. it's embarrassing and cartoonish. terrible balance, terrible feel

i understand maybe why children, women, manlet hands might prefer it. for real man's hands? no mirrorless is comfortable as dslr

even adding the 500ms to flip the mirror it's nothing like booting up a mirrorless. easily 3 seconds every time. the dslr is always ready in the time it takes to lift it. mirrorless is ramping up and then usually taking another second to figure out you want to look through the evf

anyone who has used both knows you can't lie on this one. best buy poverty apsc nikons from 2010 boot up and are ready to shoot quicker than any mirrorless

No way, check your settings. I have heard the Sony EVIL attacked several times for the start-up time, but this is also criticized on EVIL from Canon and Nikon.
When switching on with the shutter button pressed, the Sony a7iii here needed about twice the time (also about 2 seconds) until the first shot compared to a Canon 7D. Despite silent Shutter on the a7iii and Magic Lantern installed on the 7D, this means slower start-up times on the 7D. Manual focus with both lenses. Similar with autofocus, center-field ai-servo on the 7D, wide af-c with the a7iii, so most reactive setting on both.

Maybe you're just forgetting how shit dslr's were and being fooled by things lighting up, rather than the ability to take a photo.

It takes me about 2 seconds to bring my camera to my eye from its strapped position, so really the longest delay I'm going to get from my camera is 0.1 second.

The fact is that mirrorless is faster than DSLR, for lag and for startup time.

>The a7ii went from off to a photo focused and taken in 2.1 seconds
When an A7II has been off for a little bit longer, it requires more startup time.

I just tried it with my own. The first shot took about 8 seconds. I turned it off and back on again it it was closer to 2 seconds like you said.

I'm guessing it's normally in a sort of sleep mode that it can wake up from more quickly, but it goes into full shutdown when left alone for long enough. Try popping the battery out and back in for a full startup time and time it again.

Notably: That 2 second startup time is the same even if it's just gone into power-switch-still-on-but-haven't-taken-a-picture-in-a-bit sleep mode, not just if you've switched it off. So if you have it "turn off" after a few seconds to save on battery life, you still get that.

Compare to DSLRs. I actually *also* have a Nikon D70, but it's been so long since I've actually touched it that the battery is currently dead and I don't remember where the charger is. So I'll try with a random selection of DSLRs I have in arm's reach which do have a charge:

Nikon D700: Took a picture before I could count to 1
Canon 5D3: Took a picture before I could count to 1
Canon 40D: Took a picture before I could count to 1.
Canon Rebel (original, 300D): About 5 seconds

So yeah, a D70 is about as ancient as a DSLR can get--it was Nikon's first "midrange" body. I'm guessing it's just slow as hell. Any DSLR made within the last 15 years or so is going to start up faster than your brain can process, so it feels instant.

Notably, I've also got an X-T1, a Panasonic GF5, and an A6000 in grabby range, and those all have a noticeable (if low) startup time as well.

Also interesting: I've got a Sony a33, which is one of their A-mount SLTs (i.e., like an SLR but the mirror doesn't flap out of the way and it uses an EVF), and that's somewhere between the startup time of a DSLR and a full mirrorless.

So, based on >>3853638, I have a guess:

Because taking the flappy mirror away takes less time than starting up all of the parts of the camera that need to be running to take a picture on mirrorless.

I.e., a DSLR needs to boot up just enough intelligence to tell the mirror/shutter to get the hell out of the way and tell the sensor it's about to get some light hitting it. A mirrorless needs to do that *and* also actually read the information from the sensor, process it as video, and display it on the LCD/EVF. The SLT is a little faster because it only has to read off a small cellphone-sized sensor instead of a big DSLR-sized sensor, but it still needs to start up more computer parts before it can display a viewfinder view.

The mirrorless systems can be sped up--that's just moore's law, so that's gonna happen--but they probably won't ever get quite as fast as a DSLR just because the DSLR has less to do. But if they don't actually have to beat a DSLR, they just have to beat your brain, and that's a lot easier. The most recent mirrorless bodies might already be there--all of the ones I had in arm's reach are relatively old, and I haven't played with the new ones much.

But yeah, at least if you're buying cheap and used, DSLRs have a huge advantage over mirrorless in terms of time-to-photo.

It's not so much an issue of the weight as it is the hassle.

I.e., carrying multiple batteries necessitates carrying a camera bag. Sometimes I just want to go out with a single lens.

It also requires charging all of the batteries, so I have to set up a little charging station and make sure all of my spare batteries for the day are fresh.

It also requires quickly swapping out batteries when they die. Big issue if it's, say, in the middle of a fast-moving show where battery swap time can potentially cost me good shots.

Also: you're comparing an entry-level crop mirrorless to a high-end DSLR. Something like an R5, which is a more direct comparison to the 5D series, is much closer in weight: 26.03oz including batteries, vs 33.3oz for the 5D Mark III that I actually use most of the time.

> sure an individual battery might give 30% less
And it's not "30% less". It's more like 75% less. CIPA rates the battery life of an R5 at 220 shots per charge (using the EVF), vs the 5D3 at 950. So I'd need about four and a half batteries to equal one DSLR battery.

I've shot individual events with my 5D3 that took me over 9000 photos in a day. Hell, just this *month*, I've had 12 days where I shot more than 220 photos, three of which were over 800, and one of which was over 1200.

If that CIPA rating is accurate, there was an event last year where I would've needed roughly 45 batteries. I shot over 9700 photos in one day. I don't remember if I needed to swap in my spare DSLR battery for that one, but I know I definitely didn't need to swap in a spare *twice*, much less 45 times.

Based on my personal experience, CIPA ratings *overestimate* the amount of photos you can take per charge with mirrorless and *underestimate* the amount for DSLRs, so the gulf between the two is probably even bigger.

CIPA underestimates mirrorless battery life as it iterates a routine that also let the camera sit for a while without action.
I've often heard that with mirrorless, it's not the number of shots that matters, but how long the camera is switched on, as the image sensor and displays are continuously running, being the main power consuming components. There were claims with numbers 1200+ for the badly rated Canon full-frame mirrorless.

I just noticed that all the enthusiast cameras don't have a built-in flash. It's almost a bit ridiculous when you compare them to more compact that offer a built-in flash.
E.g. the comparison between the Ricoh GR II and the Ricoh GR III is almost an amusement. it's apples compared to oranges and mountains out of molehills. E.g. If the GR III still had a flash next to running IBIS, the CIPA rating would be even more abysmal and provoking a shitstorm out of nothing.

Possibly, but my camera *does* sit for a while without action a lot. So if I’m shooting a show that last two hours, it’s gonna be running the sensor for close to two straight hours while I’m watching through the EVF even if I’m not actively hitting the shutter button.

I dunno. Maybe I need to rent an R5 and try it in a real-world scenario.

The real horror is if I forget one day and find myself with, say, only three batteries when I actually needed four. Or if I shoot a long show and burn through four batteries, get home at 2am, and fall into bed without remembering to put them on the charger for the next day, then I get up to do a photoshoot and I have to cancel because I don't have enough batteries. It's a hassle.

>So does changing cards. You wouldn't have got any shots anyways.
Yeah, and that's legitimately been an issue for me shooting that 9000+ photo show in the past, too. It's stressful as hell, and adding battery issues to that would double the stress.

You seem to be arguing with me like I'm some dude bashing mirrorless because I have some emotional attachment to DSLRs. I'm not. I *want* to switch to mirrorless. I really love shooting with an EVF and I'd love to have access to eye-detect autofocus and all of the cool new tech that's been invented since the 5D Mark III! But that battery life is just too much of a dealbreaker to me right now.

I'm not the guy you're talking to but I think you're making excellent points. I shoot mirrorless myself and I have to say of there's ever anything getting in the way for me personally it's battery life. I shoot outdoor sporting events too so I can be up on one of the trails, battery goes flat and I miss a contestant as they come past me. I feel bad about it and it hasn't lost me business yet but I have considered moving back to DSLR because of it.

If you’re being that reductive, doesn’t everyone’s point of view boil down to “I want to do that” or “I don’t want to do that”?

For me, battery life with the current crop of mirrorless cameras is bad enough to override the advantages. I really hope that changes in the future, because I think mirrorless is great.

And I’m not saying that this is the case for everyone! For most people, the battery life for mirrorless cameras is perfectly adequate, especially newer ones like the Sony A7 models with the updated battery. But most people don’t shoot literally every day, don’t bring a camera with them literally everywhere they go, don’t do photoshoots multiple times a week, etc. I’m definitely an outlier, but that doesn’t mean I’m just resisting new technology because I’m an old man who’s set in his ways.

The op asked why someone might not want to switch to mirrorless. I responded with why I’m hesitant to switch to mirrorless as my main system. Why are you so emotionally invested in this that you feel the urge to bully me for that? The abstract concept of mirrorless interchangeable lenses as a technology isn’t gonna fuck you, bro, stop simping for it.

> Like, owning multiple lenses is bad. I gotta carry a bag. I might miss a shot if i have to change lenses.
I mean, yeah. When I’m shooting a show like that, I tend to go with zoom lenses for that exact reason. And when I’m wandering around on a photo walk or whatever, I just use a single prime because I don’t want to lug around a bunch of lenses in a bag or one big heavy one.

But there’s not a workaround like “use a zoom” or “just accept that you’re gonna be stuck with a 50mm field of view all day” for the battery life issue besides “just don’t take pictures”, which is kind of a dealbreaker for a camera.

Take a bunch of shitty pics. Look at them. Go “dammit, this sucks, I should’ve done X instead”. Then go out and do X instead next time you’re in that situation. Repeat.

>optical design/lens size
I feel like for most, especially Nikon, this was a limit due to the mount diameter and not the flange distance. With the exception of ultra wides, lens design hasn't really improved that much as a consequence of flange distance. What manufacturers are doing are making even *bigger* lenses than before, and the bog-standard ones like the 24-70 2.8 are the same size and weight. I think people really over estimate how "bulky" D-SLRs actually are, when you temper the size of just the body against the size of a given lens, or the weight of a lens selection. A few extra cm and maybe half a kilo to a full kilo of weight really don't matter all that much when you've got a bunch of massive, expensive pro lenses with wide apertures in your camera bag. If you really want a light weight system, get APS-C, or better yet micro four thirds.

Looks like I found the guy who has NEVER shot action with a mirrorless. I'm not talking about shutter button lag, I'm talking about lag that builds up under continuous shooting conditions. Hold down the button and there are gaps where the EVF must show a static frame while there's a full resolution sensor readout. (Otherwise you could shoot at 120 fps.) While tracking a fast moving subject like a bird you can easily lose the subject. I've experienced this on an A9 among other mirrorless bodies.

With a DSLR the mirror is back down between frames so you see where the subject is at that exact moment, not where the subject was a moment ago.

People like you who don't even own a camera can learn about this online as numerous YT reviewers talk about it with various mirrorless bodies. The A9 does it, the R5 and R6 do it. Hell, I can't think of a mirrorless that doesn't do it. (A1 perhaps?)

It is painfully obvious you have never shot action with any of these cameras. Hell, you've probably never shot anything with any of them.

It doesn't matter how you change the settings. With continuous shooting the EVF falls further and further behind. It takes time to do a full resolution readout, close the shutter, reset the sensor, process the data, and start the exposure for the next shot. On a DSLR while that is happening the mirror is down. On a mirrorless the EVF is showing you the past. With a fast moving subject it doesn't take long before you lose the subject.

I've shot action with an A9. I've had trouble tracking subjects I can track easily with a DSLR. Mirrorless advertises amazing fps but the reality is it is difficult to make use of those numbers with a fast moving subject like a BiF.

At least with the mirrorless cameras I've used, there's a noticeable startup time when you do that. Not huge, but noticeable. See >>3853638

So some of them will still draw power for a while to stay in a sleep state before they decide to shut all the way down (thus incurring a bigger lag when you grab them again). So, at least for a few minutes/hours/whatever, they burn more battery than a sleeping DSLR.

It's possible this has been fixed in newer models I haven't tried yet.

Wow, you don't even understand how an electronic shutter works. Lmao. But no, as long as your shutter speed is faster than 1\120, the evf doesn't stutter\lag at all when taking a shot. They have a "blackout free" mechanical shutter burst too, which does have a microstutter showing the previous frame, but it's less than any mirror blackout on DSLR.

Why are you so mad about a brand that you make up easily disproven nonsense, and make yourself look stupid?

It's just nicer to use than having blackout, especially if you've got 20fps burst, 20 blackouts a second can definitely get in the way of keeping track of what's going on.

What's really retarded is the DSLR anon that claims pressing the shutter adds to some sort of cumulative lag for the evf, and that you can't track fast moving objects because of it. Which is as retarded as me claiming you can't use a DSLR in sunlight because staring at the sun will burn your eye out.

Tony and Chelsea talk about it in multiple mirrorless reviews, including the recent R5/R6 reviews. Animal eye AF means they still like those cameras better for birding, but Chelsea actually said she wished someone would make a DSLR with animal eye AF to solve the problem.

>>They show an old frame whilst the shutter is down
>Wow, you don't even understand how an electronic shutter works.
Have you tried it while panning to track a bird or a race car? Have you? If there's any background you get the same rolling shutter effects that you see in fast panned video. Or even worse. Depending on lighting you also get flicker (unevenly lit bars across the image), and anti-flicker modes are typically only available with mechanical shutter. No thanks.

Even with ES the EVF fps would have to drop to 20 fps. (Otherwise you could shoot faster.) You're still falling behind the subject the longer you shoot as errors in your movements build up until...empty frame.

>Lmao. But no, as long as your shutter speed is faster than 1\120, the evf doesn't stutter\lag at all when taking a shot.

The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can photograph anywhere, anytime, and I can shoot your portrait in over 700 poses, and that’s just with my P&S. Not only am I extensively trained in focus tracking, but I have access to the entire arsenal of lighting of the B&H Photo catalog and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, and now you’re paying the price. I will shit high resolution RAWs all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking photographed, kiddo.

IQ between both camera systems is virtually identical. Pretty much all of those very marginal IQ improvements have to do with newer sensor tech or lens designs, and in most cases those would be achievable on a D-SLR, companies are just choosing not to go that route any more. If you look at a shot taken on a modern full frame camera and don't have EXIF you're going to struggle to identify what it was shot on. For some people, the improvements to AF ability and the ability to see what your exposure will look like before taking it is godsend. But sadly all the hype around this has effectively become shilling, to answer the question here >>3856602. People will tell you the difference between mirrorless and a D-SLR is the difference between a horse-drawn buggy and a car, but it's not. It's actually more like comparing today's Honda Accord with better gas mileage, lane departure warning, and a backup camera to a 10-15 year old model that doesn't have those features but has the same basic inline 4 engine.

Well lit is about the direction and quality of the lights and the projected shadows. It's not about 0EV, it's about the way you place your speedlights or waiting for the Sun to hit something just right. Ironically enough, mirrorless is of little help in both cases, but reflex can help you get the second one a lot.

Newer photographers are going to use AE on either camera which will perform the same. Experienced photographers with higher end bodies have live exposure preview on mirrorless, spot meters on DSLRs. Exposure preview is nice but spot metering for digital is dead simple and just as effective.

EVFs don't really offer anything else that fundamentally alters your ability to get a good shot UNLESS you're using old manual glass and a MILC with good manual focus tools.

>>3856757
>When it literally does just that, by taking any guess work or need for experience to get your exposure perfect.
I'm sorry no one ever taught you how to use your camera's meter. There is no "guess work" in my exposures even on film bodies.

>>3856930
Mirrorless sensor burn is also an issue in environments with laser shows. The laser power/potential exposure time may be low enough to avoid permanent damage to viewer's eyes, but CCD/CMOS sensors cannot dissipate heat fast enough and therefore can burn. With a DSLR your sensor's exposure time is strictly limited to the shutter speed while shooting, so your odds of damage are far lower.

Having used both, I don't really agree with this. The exposure preview that you get on a good EVF makes it a bit quicker to get the exposure you want in complicated lighting. Or even just lets you preview different options in normal lighting when you might otherwise just go with the default. Like, yeah, it's not like an EVF is going to let you get a shot that an OVF wouldn't (except in some pretty contrived edge case scenarios), but it makes things a little quicker and easier and that's nice.

We're not really disagreeing. Key word is "fundamentally." EVF exp preview is more intuitive and a little faster than spot metering. But again...newbie will be using AE, experienced can get it with spot.

Being well exposed doesn't mean it's well lit. You can expose properly so that 18% gray is achieved and there's no overwhelming areas of clipped highlights or shadows, but that doesn't mean the light direction or quality is good, or interesting.

D-SLRs have grid lines too, but there's more to good composition than lining things up along thirds and straightening the horizon. Other compositional considerations are things such as how large or small objects appear, their relationships and distance between each other, whether they're separate or interacting with each other, and what is and isn't included in the frame.

Likewise, an interesting photo comes from an interesting subject, or a subject presented in an interesting way. If you're looking for good colors or light, it's better to have those things in front of you, rather than expecting the camera to turn a dull, flat scene into something interesting.

I'm not sure what you're implying here. My point is that you can see an interesting scene before raising the camera to your eye to capture it. What looks good to a trained photographer's own naked eyes will almost always look good with a camera, and when I say looks good, I mean it has the fundamentals (light, composition, color palette etc.) in order. People have been able to take interesting photographs for over 100 years, why only in the past 5 or 10 people like yourself think it's impossible without an EVF is really beyond me.

Do you usually expose your photos within 1\3 of a stop of what you actually wanted? Can you ensure you're within 1\3 of a stop of some of your shit blowing out?

You can either say no, and admit mirrorless is useful, or you can say yes and look like an insecure fucking moron. Your choice.

>>3856921
I think being well lit means ensuring where you want shadows to be dark, they are dark, and where you want light, there's the correct amount of light.

An ovf can't tell you when you're blowing or crushing an area, it can't meter creatively, it doesn't know how you want to implement chiaroscuro, it can't read your mind. An EVF can do all of the above.

As for speedlights, lmfao, that's one of the biggest bonuses of EVF, being able to accurately set your ambient light (where again, creativity is going to come before any technical aspect a meter can tell you) before adding in your lights is awesome; either you've never shot flash or you've never shot mirrorless.

>Sun to hit something just right

Again, mirrorless wins, your eyes see light relatively, and with zero context of an imaging sensor, a sensor sees in absolutes with zero concerns for context, there's none of the equalising of contrast which our eyes do.

>>3857032
>Newer photographers will use AE
Except they don't, when you give a DSLR to a new user, leave it on matrix metering, they'll click with blind faith in the metering. Give a mirrorless to a newbie and they will go straight for the EV adjustment dial to adjust the exposure to be what they want the photo to look like. I work in a camera shop, and when customers play with EVF cameras I've frequently heard "how do I make it brighter or darker", which I've never heard when someone is playing with a DSLR.

EVF literally makes taking photos note intuitive.

I can't believe I have to explain this.

If you want to photograph a on a clear day with a blue sky then that's what you point your camera at. Your camera will not "see" darkness or a cloudy sky if it's not there.

If you want a specific composition then it's your job to point the camera in the right direction, choose the right focal length and stand in the right spot. Your evf is not going to do that for you.

If you want a specific color palette or light, your camera will not magically "see" something else. It will not see overcast, diffused light where it doesn't exist. It will not see red and blue where it doesn't exist.

Every half decent photographer has figured out that the best way to get a good photo is to paint your camera at the right thing. Honestly, I cannot believe this needs to be explained. The fact that you lean so heavily on how a sensor "renders" a photo in some nuanced way tells me you care more about consumer technology bullshit than actual photography and you probably suck at the latter. Good luck with all that I guess.

Yes it does, again, your eyes are relative, they will automatically white balance things for you, they will balance contrast in a high dynamic range scene, everyone's eyes have a different gamut too.

Camera sensors are absolute, any of those changes your eye automatically account for has to be done in post.

Yes
Mirrorless is still useful, but I think you're a smartass who doesn't know the craft but still feels like calling others dumb. To reliably judge brightness from a camera's display or EVF other than for simple scenes or other than with the histogram ends or other than with zebras is simple but still unreliable. Not also does the display brightness interfere but also the picture style. If you stick to spot metering, measure very dark and white areas the metering is not convenient but very accurate.

>An ovf can't tell you when you're blowing or crushing an area, it can't meter creatively, it doesn't know how you want to implement chiaroscuro, it can't read your mind.
An EVF can't do that either, but the feedback loop for adjusting is more intuitive. It doesn't matter if the photographer adjust the exposure because of the preview or due to metering.

>So you think what your eye sees is more important than what the sensor sees, when the photo is coming from the sensor, not your eyes?
I'm familiar with both, previews that show me great colors, contrasts, and other things I didn't notice before, but also having a lighting condition catch my eye and the need to quickly aim for a photo because you just know it's going to be good.
With your question, however, you also touch on the topic of realism and implementation, and it is indispensable to say that it is important to deal with a motif mentally and with desires. So is what arrives on the sensor the important thing? Indirectly yes, objectively no.

This is trivial on a DSLR with spot meter, live view, or just reviewing one shot. Hell, Canon E-TTL in anything other than P mode will pretty reliably balance the flash against ambient light for you.

>Again, mirrorless wins, your eyes see light relatively, and with zero context of an imaging sensor, a sensor sees in absolutes with zero concerns for context, there's none of the equalising of contrast which our eyes do.
EVFs have shit contrast. They do not show you what the sensor sees. Your best bet is to maximize DR by exposing to the right. The quick and easy way to do this is to spot meter a highlight and make sure it's not >3ev over (2.66ev is safer on some cameras) or use an EVF histogram if available. Then shape the RAW the way you want in post, pushing shadows and moving tones around as necessary.

And then chimp, adjust, learn.

The EVF is nothing like what the sensor sees. Color, saturation, contrast, DR, are all pretty shit.

What? No I don't. Whoever is doing that in the thread isn't me. I'm responding to someone talking about post production when the discussion is whether or not EVF has some advantage in achieving the desired color balance out of the camera. The implication being that you see what the colors look like to the camera. If you're just gonna go home and edit the RAW to be whatever you want, then it really doesn't matter what white balance you have.

>>3858921
>The EVF is nothing like what the sensor sees. Color, saturation, contrast, DR, are all pretty shit.
In a broader sense, I'm saying that what most people do is see a scene that looks good with their eyes before photographing it. If you're out on a beautiful day or night, and you see something you're drawn to because of the light quality, texture, some unique framing, whatever, that initial attraction you had to said scene happens before the camera is even in front of your face. Unless you're walking around with your eyes stuck to a viewfinder all day, then you're looking and seeing things with your eyes, and discerning what would make a good photograph. Even if you intend to touch up on color balance or whatever in post late, in general you're not going to take a mediocre scene (that exists IRL) and make it look special with a camera, or otherwise get something on the camera, that isn't there.

My workflow is using MLV app, setting the gamut to Alexa log c, exporting to Prores 4444 and import into Resolve.

Then I use film convert with the Arri Alexa log c as the input camera profile, turn the cineon log to film slider to 0 and choose a film stock.

I create a node, then a third note and use one of the built in 3D LUT "film look" LUTS, and on the node before I use that to make small adjustments I want voila!

Honestly? I just wish the 2.5k RAW mode would let me see what is being recorded and not a center crop of it. Even if it was at like 5 fps. That frustrates the living hell out of me and makes me feel like i can't use that mode for any moving shots even though I love the footage.

Aside from that any Canon bodies that can use Magic Lantern can give you good color and sharp results. It's amazing and makes you wonder what could be done if Canon hired engineers like that and cut them loose.

I use the 700d which doesn't do a crop.

Sadly it only does 1700 horizontal resolution at most in RAW (altho itd probably be a bit higher with an even faster SD card) but its still wayyyyy better than the absolutely awful h264 codec built into it, and can be easily upscaled. I'd say ppl could upscale it to 4K and then add 4k film grain over it to fill in that extra detail :)

So wish I knew about this much sooner with all the short films I've made in the past.

ETTR means exposing to push your histogram as far right as possible WITHOUT clipping any highlights you absolute fucking retard. It's "ETTR" and not "ETTL" precisely because you need to beware of your highlight limits, i.e. expose for the highlights.

Wrong
Large flange distance means you have light sucking retrofocal sections on any lens wider than the flange distance (40ish mm on DSLR)

Hence why Sony's 12-24 is f2.8 and half the weight & size of canons 11-24 f4.

Wrong, inverse square law states that non parallel light will fall off exponentially as you get further away from the light source. Being able to get the glass closer to the sensor, and therefore the inverse point closer to the sensor, means brighter images. Hence why tamron managed to shrink their 28-75 and 70-180 2.8 lenses to be smaller and lighter than any competitive product for DSLR's.

Mount size plays a bigger role in max aperture of *symmetrical* lenses. But not just mount size, but also the space behind the mount.

You're wrong about that anon. For reflected subjects, in daylight, it's the distance of the sun that affects square law (so absolutely negligible). For emitting subjects, it's the distance from the subject.
Optically, the distance to the sensor is the same anyway, since it's the focal length that matters.

You only area that square law becomes relevant, it's when focusing at very close distances, and that's because the image circle gets enlarged, so the same light is spread over a wider area.

I don't know what the fuck this means. There are no "light sucking" lens elements.

>Hence why Sony's 12-24 is f2.8 and half the weight & size of canons 11-24 f4.
Sony's 12-24 f/2.8 is a retrofocus design. The weight difference is roughly 36%, not 100%. Same with the size. Most high end mirrorless lenses which were retrofocus on DSLRs continue to be retrofocus on mirrorless because using another design would lead to IQ issues in the corners wide open. Shorter flange distance on mirrorless is not as useful to lens designers as on film because there's a limit on the angle at which light can strike an edge or corner photosite.

Probably the biggest impact mirrorless flange distance will have will be in small, medium speed primes, and not in fast, professional zooms and primes.

>>3863501
>Explain all the f1.4 wide angles suddenly on the market then.
There were plenty on the DSLR market, at least for Canon EF. Apart from the RF 28-70 f/2L I don't think Canon has bumped aperture on anything.

>>3863546
You don't see massive improvements, period. Again using Canon as an example the largest IQ gains are in the two f/1.2L primes. But the EF versions were very old and in need of a refresh. I have little doubt Canon could release EF versions as sharp or nearly as sharp as the RF versions since fucking Rokinon has sharp f/1.2 primes for EF at the same focal lengths.

The RF zooms which replace recent EF designs? No IQ gains. Just feature gains. Flange distance simply isn't as important as it's made out to be.

This is what people seem to forget. Improvements to lens and sensor design is part and parcel of technology moving forward overall. If mirrorless was not a thing we'd still be getting better sensors and lenses incrementally.

I bought an a7 first gen this year,

I find the evf fine, need to get a better eyecup for shooting outdoors but its perfectly fine. Its xga so 1024*768 or about as much pixels as your facebook or instagram photo is gonna have its fine.

if anything after shooting dslr then getting the sony the fact that what I see is what I get when shooting is a masssive game changer, No guessing exposure compensation, no guessing depth of field preview as I couldnt see shit trough the lens at f16 of the dslr no longer fucking up expsure when Im in manual mode.

its near perfect. The controls and menus of sony and the battery life is where dslr remains king. Hope pentax makes another MILC.

I go for hikes with my a7 I carry two batteries even though 80% of the time i dont even kill one as it takes about 700 shoots to completly kill one and who is spraying and praying ? I only spray with birds. If i shoot video it naturally tanks the battery but these batteries are so small i could carry 3 in any pocket and it weighs about 100 grams for 2. Fuck stick them in your socks you wouldnt feel them.

if your shooting a show buy a camera grip. twice the grip and twice the battery BOOM ubkess its a 3 hour show and your literally just holding down the shutter your being unrealistic.

if battery life is mission critical then dont buy that camera. sony has 4 times the amount of shots than r5.

cameras are tools and there is never one right answer for every question but by and large miroless are a great do all compared to dslrs.

plus give mirorless the 20 years of maturment that dslrs benifit from and id say we will all be shooting milc soon.

STOP BEING BUTTHURT YOUR CAMERA IS NICE AND YOU SPEND YOUR PENNIES WISELY YOU DONT NEED TO GET BUTTHURT ABOUT PEOPLE LIKING OTHER STUFF THAT YOU DIDNT BUY YOU FAT RETARD.

Okay, I just went and found a working battery for my D70 and now I can confidently say that this is either complete bullshit or you just have a lens that's slow as fuck to focus.

With my lens in manual focus mode, my D70 went from fully-powered-off to ready-to-take-a-picture in the time it took my finger to get from the power switch to the shutter button, and the power switch is literally coaxial with the shutter button. Effectively zero startup time.

I could see it being slow if you're using something like a third-party lens with a paaaainfully slow built-in AF motor, or maybe shooting in the dark where the AF sensor can't figure out where the hell you want to focus, but even a DSLR as old as the D70 has no noticeable startup time.

Sort of agree with >>3864635 but without the Pentax hate.

I feel like Ricoh/Pentax would come out with a mirrorless if they thought it would have any level of success. See the Ricoh GXR and Pentax K01 and Pentax Q line for examples of them dipping their toes in the water, for instance.

But Nikon and Canon were *very* late to serious mirrorless, and the only reason they're being successful is that they were already the biggest two names in DSLRs. Pentax has always been a #3 brand at best.

So with Nikon and Canon seemingly abandoning DSLRs for mirrorless, I think that Pentax sees a niche they can occupy the shit out of. They're gonna be the Leica of flappy-mirrors. They're betting that there will always be a certain number of people who prefer an actual OVF-equipped DSLR over a mirrorless camera for whatever reason that they'll stay profitable.

If they come out with a new mirrorless line, unless they join the L alliance, they'll be behind Sony, Canon, Nikon, Leica/Sigma/Panasonic, and even Olympus in the mirrorless game. If they stay with DSLRs, the DSLR space is rapidly becoming a ghost town... but they can become the mayor of that particular ghost town real easy.

I don't disagree with this, they will be soon the only pure photography brand left besides Leica. But not because their mirrorless cameras weren't good, but because they realized mirrorless is a fad at best and that eventually the world will come back to reflex.

Yeah, you're gonna be Pentax's niche. Most everyone else is just gonna switch to mirrorless and that'll be that.

I'm sorry to tell you, but you're straight up delusional. Mirrorless has too many real advantages, and too much momentum behind it.

Basically the same arguments that were being made for:
* Digital photography
* Autofocus
* Autoexposure
* Film photography (as opposed to glass plates)

So, again, believe what you want, but this is the reality of the situation.

You could maybe have made this argument when Micro Four Thirds bodies started coming out. Maaaaybe still when Sony came out with the first NEX bodies. But at this point, where Sony has entirely transitioned to mirrorless and was so successful that they're now either the #1 or #2 camera brand? And both Nikon and Canon followed suit? And so did Fuji? And Hasselblad? And Leica (which, okay, technically the M line was mirrorless too, but the L line is more what we think of when we think mirrorless)? And Sigma?

And they're apparently selling so many mirrorless bodies that those who made DSLRs have decided to pretty much give up on their DSLR lines?

Like, fuck, I was really hoping for a Canon 5D Mark V to replace my 5D Mark III, but if they were gonna release one of those... they would've done it by now. All rumors suggest that they had one in development but decided to drop it in favor of the RF bodies.

You can claim DSLR superiority all you want, but you already sound like those guys who say digital isn't real photography and that one day everyone's going to realize that and companies are going to have to start producing new 35mm film cameras. Yeah, there are always gonna be people who wanna shoot film, and yeah, there are always going to be a contingent of diehard DSLR loyalists who're apparently going to have to switch to Pentax, but the venerable reflex mirror is clearly flipping its final flop as the pinnacle of photographic technology.

I'd love to be proven wrong and get at least one more 5D-series DSLR out of Canon, but no one but Pentax has released a single DSLR since February of last year and there aren't even any *rumors* of upcoming DSLRs from Nikon or Canon.

No. Those things were revolutionary in their impact. Mirrorless cameras are very much evolutionary.

>but everyone has switched to mirrorless!
Yes, because mirrorless does offer some evolutionary advantages and an EVF is cheaper to manufacture and service than a mirror OVF. It's also a great excuse to get people to consoooom. It doesn't mean the faggot who just dumped his DSLR kit for a mirrorless kit is going to see an improvement in his photography.

>And they're apparently selling so many mirrorless bodies that those who made DSLRs have decided to pretty much give up on their DSLR lines?
I suspect Nikon will introduce additional DSLR models? Canon is jumping more completely into mirrorless, but something like 1/3rd of their sales last year were still SLRs.

>You can claim DSLR superiority all you want,
OVFs are nicer to work with and battery life is observably better. But mirrorless offers more intelligent subject tracking, IBIS, and exposure preview. The differences aren't THAT great. Just shoot what you prefer.

Me? I have my dream EOS EF kit already. What I don't have is time/money to travel and shoot as often as I would like, especially with this fucking pandemic bullshit. So I have no interest in spending thousands of dollars to "upgrade" to an RF kit for IBIS (my lenses have IS), exp preview (I know how to use a spot meter), or RF lenses that only add small features. (Granted, if I had and frequently used an EF f/1.2 prime I might want an R body just for the RF version. But the RF versions of the lenses I own do not improve on IQ, and I can live without their feature enhancements.)

As to which I would recommend to another photographer: in the EOS system, where EF lenses adapt seamlessly, it would depend entirely on their budget and needs.

Were they, though?

Sure, digital was pretty revolutionary in hindsight. But autoexposure? It's just the same as matching the needle in your viewfinder, except a small computer does the matching instead of you. And autofocus? Just lets you focus a little bit more quickly. And film photography is basically just the same as glass plates but smaller and a bit more convenient.

(And even though digital was pretty clearly a revolutionary change from our current perspective, it wasn't viewed that way in the early days. It was dismissed as a fad because early digital cameras were a lot lower resolution than 35mm, and they mostly started out with tiny sensors. It revolutionized the news industry pretty fast, but a hell of a lot of hobby/art photographers saw it as a fad for waaaaaay longer than it made sense for them to. And I'm betting there's some asshole on here who's just itching to point out to me how many people are getting into film photography today as evidence that it *is* just a fad.)

Mirrorless lets you preview your exact exposure in real time, with any filters you want. It lets you do things like focus-on-a-bird's-eye autofocus. It lets you have video-levels of FPS for still photos. These are easily as significant as things like autofocus and autoexposure.

> It doesn't mean the faggot who just dumped his DSLR kit for a mirrorless kit is going to see an improvement in his photography.
Yep, and a guy who sold all of his FD gear to buy into Canon's new EOS system wouldn't see an improvement in his photography either. Doesn't mean that autofocus was a fad.

(continued from >>3865854 because I'm a wordy bitch)
OVFs are nicer *for some people*, and OVFs are nicer *for now*. Personally, I prefer my X-T1's EVF to the OVFs on my DSLRs. I'm pretty meh on Sony's EVFs. Eventually, the refresh rate will get high enough and the resolution will get high enough that you'll have an extremely difficult time telling whether you're looking at an EVF or an OVF.

DSLR battery life is observably better *for now*. Battery life keeps getting better, both because battery technology gets better and sensor/processor technology gets more efficient. Eventually, there will come a point where mirrorless cameras have the same battery life as current DSLRs, at which point it doesn't really matter if future DSLRs are better because current DSLRs' battery life is more than enough for most situations (except maybe really long hikes where you have zero opportunity to recharge for several days).

Same thing with my other big complaint against mirrorless, which you didn't bring up, which is that they take longer to go from off to having-taken-a-picture. Processors are gonna get faster; sensors are gonna get faster; eventually they'll get it so fast that you can't tell there's a startup time. They'll probably even figure out how to detect when you're raising a camera to your eye more elegantly than the "Look for a shadow over the viewfinder" method make it so everything's on and ready before you decide to take a shot.

The disadvantages of DSLRs are intrinsic to the design. The disadvantages of mirrorless cameras are things we can chip away at over time with better tech.

Each one made certain types of photography possible which were previously extremely difficult or impossible.

This is really over played. You can typically spot meter as fast as you can judge the EVF and adjust, and most people are using AE most of the time any way. And that's coming from someone who admits that exp preview is a really natural way to work with full manual exposure (though I still hate EVFs).

>It lets you do things like focus-on-a-bird's-eye autofocus.
An evolution of AF tracking a moving subject which works for essentially all scenarios. (Who is shooting birds close up with f/1.2 primes?)

>It lets you have video-levels of FPS for still photos.
We were already nearly there with DSLRs. If you can't get a good shot at 16 fps...

EVFs have shit color, contrast, DR, can be grainy (newer ones are solving that), and are laggy as fuck at night and under continuous shooting. But they do give you exp preview and some cool on screen tools. In any case, they are not revolutionary.

>Eventually, the refresh rate will get high enough and the resolution will get high enough that you'll have an extremely difficult time telling whether you're looking at an EVF or an OVF.
The non-shooting refresh rate is not the issue.

>The disadvantages of DSLRs are intrinsic to the design.
The only real disadvantage is that you can't do any type of preview of the shot with digital processing, and you probably can't exceed 20 fps without a fixed translucent mirror. Other than that there really is zero difference between them, but mirrorless fags act like mirrorless is the beginning of photography and if you're still shooting an SLR you're hopelessly outmatched.

It's tiring.
