They are expensive because the electronics need to run through the adapter between the lens and body

I haven’t tried mirrorless so I can’t really judge but the battery on the DSLR is really good. Also I like your content keep it up 👍🏼

I just bought a a7 mk1 with kit lens and 50mm 1.8 canon with 3d printed adapter and I'm amazed by the autofocus after jumping from my dad's canon 50d.

I love the viewfinder on DSLR, it's real light coming in and I love that

It definitely is a refreshing release from the daily life of having to stare at digital screens for almost entire day, reason why I carry out my eos 70d instead of sony a7r3 for daily street photos.

Mirrorless. For the EVF.

My Mirrorless made me a better photographer. I miss less shots due to the wrong exposure or F stop. Focus peaking and focus points are simply amazing. They are simply faster than a DSLR and when you care trying to capture a single moment anything to make that quicker helps.

But you can adapt any lens to a mirrorless camera so the lens argument doesn’t really apply here

Yep especially if it's Micro Four Thirds, it's basically the cheat code to truckloads of lens options.

Only mirrorless: Extreme fast AF. No more front-, backfocus problems. Focus peaking. Better performance at high ISO. Less waste photos.

I'm getting a DSLR (canon 77d). It's much cheaper where I'm from and I could get multiple high quality used lens for the price of just one lens on the mirrorless system. I will miss some modern features but I don't think I need them really as a casual shooter.

Mirrorless with EF lenses adapted 😎 my 24-70 never leaves my main body.

You can add rule od thirda or 4x6 grids or whatever to OVFs. You just can't have exposure preview and battery status and stuff, just the exposure meter4

Just switched from my 5 year old 80D to an R6 recently and it is definitely way better. Though I thought it would be lighter since the R6 is a mirrorless camera but I guess a jump from APSC to Full Frame can add weight to it. So basically it's almost as big and heavy as my 80D but with better sensor performance and IBIS.

Mirrorless overheat and battery are terrible!! SLR FTW!!

This is how I look at camera types DSLR: Photography Mirrorless: Videography

Mirrorless is the future of photography, simple as that.

Running a Nikon d200 right now because I'm poor, but I'd like to upgrade to a z5. Budget full frame, enough megapixels for learning the ropes, and through b&h you can get a z5 and an ftz adapter to use f mount lenses. Seems like a no brainer to me but, everyone has their favorite flavor of ice cream

If I want the camera has decent specs, durable, and also cheap, I go with dslr, I got a 1100D and I take good photos with it, even at night

i started on mirrorless, and i've shot with film and now i want to try shooting with a dslr for a bit and see what i prefer. at the moment mirrorless seems lighter and more advanced which i find advantageous for work. Im curious what equipment i don't have access to shooting mirrorless

I also started on mirrorless (Nikon 1 v2) (and when excluding the CCD samsung pocket cameras), currently on sony a7r3 with tamron lens. I also recently got a eos 70d (85k shots) from a friend, along with 40mm f2.8 pancake. The two cameras differ from the core so I don't think it's fair to compare them in the first place, but while the sony a7r3 has been absolute blast with its performance, I actually became fond of the dslr as well. I think one big factor is the comfort from not having to constantly look at the lit-up screen, only except for using swivel display for touch af and videos. Constantly having to look at digital screens - from study, work, hobby, social, playing, etc and etc, having only to look at a mirror and a small control panel instead has been an incredibly comfortable experience. I did have many instances of finding out my pictures dead from exposure blown out or dynamic range gone wrong after photoshoot, but it's something I (kinda) got hang of after about a week of practice. In canon dslr case, I think ones with dual pixel cmos af (iirc starting from canon eos 70d's release) is something that can be a joy even for mirrorless users. My sister's eos 60d was neat but the af speed and accuracy was too stressful even just to use it for spare time, sub-body, etc. Will say the eos 70d gave me a refreshing retake on photography.

I've been using a Canon AE-1 for almost a year now and I've been loving film photography!

Mirrorless 🎉

The lens argument is kinda moot.

I would rather look at the real world through an optical viewfinder than watch tv on an electronic one.

As a hobby photographer i have no worries about my mirrorless camera's battery life

I much prefer a good SLR, however I like to use canon FD lenses which don't fit on any DSLR I know of, so I'm stuck using a mirrorless, they're nice but I just much prefer the feel of a DSLR, I find myself using my analog SLRs way more because it's just so much nicer to use than my Sony A72

Il y a vraiment deux avantages majeurs qui ne sont pas remplaçable dans un reflex, le bruit du miroir et la visée optique, mais les mirror less permettent plus de photos et plus facilement

My camera (the sony a77) is a dslr with an electronic viewfinder whats the reason for the mirror then?

The major difference maker in the mirrorless camera especially when this specific tech came out in the Sony A77m2, is the face recognition and tracking which evolve into animal face detection and so on. The tech specifically special was the processor which in a sense is a computer that has algorithms programmed by the manufacturers to detect exactly what to focus on. As time went on faster processor evolved and is now able to do this function at ultrafast speeds. This was really the tech that allowed the mirrorless to flourish and became an upward trend for pro photographers. It allowed them to concentrate on the subject and streamline their workflow to never or almost never miss a shot out of focus.

❤DSLR❤ its a feeling in my point. Mirrorless is powerhouse that professionals are getting used to.. 😢

I prefer the one i have with me at the time of a shoot.

Full Frame DSLR or APSC Mirrorless camera. Which is better for photography.!?

Mirrorless all the way

Got my first mirorless in 2018 because the new a7ii had the same price as used cannon alternative.

DSLR ... ❤

prefer none cus im broke

I perfer mirrorless cause they are smaller and have focus peaking

dslr had one major problem, lens and body calibration, very often the focus point on the mirror would offset a bit from the sensor plane, resulting in slightly off focus image and this varies from lens to lens, complicating matters

I like that my DSLR is chunkier, I find it more comfortable to hold. I also prefer the heavier weight to counterbalance my telelens. Although I’m tempted by mirrorless now that I find myself doing some more videography every now and then.

Mirrorless is quicker, but actually I really like the speed and accuracy combined with dslr ergonomics of the old sony SLT cameras. No flip mirror but some light loss.

A DSLR viewfinder is what you see live a mirrorless camera sees what the sensor sees and sometimes can be false. I’ve use SLR and DSLR for the last 40 years with not many problems, I recently tried a Sony mirrorless camera, although quite good I found that in fast burst mode it wasn’t as good as my dslr, I know the EVF screens are getting better and faster but I ended up with a headache, it left my eye aching!! And it burned through quite a few batteries. I have to much money invested in canon glass so I’ll stick with a dslr for the foreseeable future.

Do you think short ty shorts beat out a good one minute short? I think the algorithm favors the short and mindless.

I have Nikon D 3400, but i am thinking of having Z50, sometimes at the future.

Nikon D3200. That's my fav cam. And It's a DSLR

Thanks to mirrorless, DSLR prices have dropped 🙏

Get an adaptor, all dslr lenses can work on mirrorless with these. You might loose auto focus. Cant use mirrorless on dslr tho.

mirrorless. why? i know nothing about cameras and that's what the shop had available. very happy with it, though.

Mirrorles can get a high distance since fotons aren't obstructed

Dslr for the back catalogue, or mirrorless for future proofing? Hmm.

Always Nikon d850 and canon mark d4

What should a novice start with- an optical, or digital viewfinder?

To be fair, you’re comparing a cheap entry level mirrorless with a higher end professional grade DSLR, not really a good matchup obviously the DSLR wins

If you're already into photography, it's probably not unreasonably to suggest you're in the DSLR ecosphere. Changing up is likely to cost a fortune and your ROI is going to take a millenium or four

I have never seen a mirrorless camera with the LCD viewfinder "on top" of the camera as stated here. Unless, of course you purchase a 3rd party monitor and mount it to either a camera cage (or the camera's hot-shoe mount) on top of the camera. Mirrorless cameras have an LCD screen at the back of the camera, not "on top" of the camera.

Does a DSLR have any advantage compared to a mirrorless camera? Please enlighten me.

DSLR all the way. Mirrorless cameras feel like toys compared to proper DSLR cameras. Also can’t stand EVFs as they make me feel like I’m not shooting a camera. The ergonomics and fun factor also makes DSLRs beat any mirrorless camera for me

I have both those cameras. they're both great, but the Sony is waaay ahead. IBIS, use any lens anywhere to some degree, except Sony Glass is world-class. low light, way ahead, clean high ISO,

"Much smaller and lighter than dslr's" I doubt about the lighter part since my dslr was way lighter than the mirror less cams I've tried.

the only usage difference between them are no continuous autofocus and the ovf that i NEVER understand why someone still prefer to NOT KNOW what is going on with the real photo the sensor is capturing. so there are basically no difference in usage, what's your talking about? fastest and continuous autofocus? or the ovf that most photographers never used and finally can cos now have a sense? (not considering the 100% of videographers that can't simply use ovf anyway). maybe the low light performance? in my experience if you are a bad photographer you can shoot with an A1 and still shooting shit, if you're a great photographer you can shoot with a 1st gen iPod touch and make an entire book out of it
