    Both Mirrorless and DSLR bodies very much have their own places in photography. I see a lot of fanboys on both sides and I find them all very silly. (I happen to own a Nikon DSLR) If, for example, you're gonna go out and shoot photos of wildlife, you'd be better of with a DSLR most of the time. DSLRs are bulkier, but sometimes that bulk and heft is a good thing. They offer better ergonomics when dealing with really long and heavy telephoto lenses. Mirrorless bodies get very nose heavy with larger lenses on them. On the flip side, if you were doing some Street Photography, a mirrorless Camera would be fantastically advantageous. Fitting a prime lens on a Mirrorless body makes for a camera not much bigger than a point and shoot and you can be much more discreet/less intimidating to your subjects, offering for better natural candid shots. There are many more examples for both camps. I just don't understand why people feel the need to say one is always better than the other in everything, always. It's just childish and flat out wrong. Do some research, find out what kinds of pictures you want to take, then pic a camera style that fits your needs. I am not better than someone else because I own a DSLR and they own a Mirrorless.

    I just got a mirrorless sony a few weeks ago. I had been hesitant to leap into digital for 'real' photography, and then I wanted a DSLR because I assumed that anything else was basically a viewfinder camera (and I did buy a digital viewfinder camera in the early 2000s which was good - but basically an experimental camera (like a Lomo), not a main device). I'm really happy with my experience so far.

    2:30 nice try lmao. i bet you you fooled those sony fanbois pretty good. the reason why mirrorless cameras have far less battery life is NOT just it doesn't have enough space to house a battery the same size as a DSLR. the primary reason is mirrorless' sensor has to work full-time in order to give you a live image whenever you look down the view finder. DSLR's sensor only need electricity when you actually press the shutter. so mirrorless' battery life will never be as good as DSLR's.

    • @omgtkseth
      @omgtkseth Před 8 lety +11

      +Calvin Chann The AF is debatable because it depends a lot on the camera. Three years ago every single live view autofocus was utter crap, and you have to consider its a recent invention in cameras. The Sony a7rii and a6300 are extremely good at autofocus, even at the 5fps or so burst, as good as a flagship canon, but the first Sonys were worst than an APSC canon even when costing several thousands. The technology seems to have caught up and now its only a matter of lowering the price so it can be more widely adopted and implemented. The drain is also attributed to the EVF, but it wouldnt be an issue if they had made mirrorless cameras the size of a dslr and used the free space to triple the battery size, but they even made the batteries smaller than that of a normal dslr. The fact that mirrorless cameras might keep getting smaller is exemplary of the issue. Size is the priority so its safe to say that people will have to carry a handful of battery packs if they want a mirrorless; they wont start making big sized mirrorless cameras even when it could make it up for the EVF drain.

In Live View, we can see how the exposure directly. Mirror, No. And with dslrs, i really had a bad time with old manual lenses. Sometimes they focused differently from the Mirror and the results.

      +Connor Smyers (csmyers) LMAO typical mirrorless fan to leave out the IMPORTANT details and only sugarcoat what's necessary.
      1. Mirrorless EVF's are laggy. Don't deny it. Fast action shots suck using the EVF with mirrorless. DSLR OVF wins since it has zero lag.
      2. It's actually a plus that DLSR's don't have an EVF. I've explained that in #1. Even the A7R2's articulating screen is completely useless outdoors. Nearly impossible to see in broad daylight. Sony uses a lower resolution LCD screen with no antiglare filter. Canon and Nikon upper end models are super easy to view outdoors due to their high res screens and antiglare filter.
      3. The A6300 has been proven to not produce much faster focus than the old A6000. As usual Sony over-exaggerates focus points in advertising.
      4. I agree, focus peaking is a nice feature. I would rather give that up and get far better battery life instead which is far more important that carrying tons of batteries.
      5. I see you didn't try to argue that lack of native full frame E-mount lenses. Just like the guy in the video ignored as well. Haha. Sony and Canon both have over 60 native full frame lenses. Sony has under 20 choices, and many of them are either overpriced or underspec'd. Not even a handful of F1.4/1.8/2.8 lenses.

    I'm a sports photographer and in some cases I listen to those shutter noises to find out if that ' click' hit the right spot of action. And yes being out on a field holding a bigger camera attached to a big lens feels more comfortable than holding a small sharper cornered camera.
    I agree, that's a nice camera but it sounds like you're a salesperson.

      Silent shutter is an option on the Sony camera. Some people may find it annoying at certain times while others like yourself find it useful. That's one of the advantages with the mirrorless because it gives both options while DSLR currently have shutter noise by default. Bigger cameras are better for those larger lenses, that's always going to be down to what the user intends to shoot. A larger camera means you might not take the camera abroad for non-professional use due to the size, and that's where a compact mirrorless camera will win. However, if you're a professional cameraman you might require to take your full gear and setup for the job. I don't think the guy is being a salesperson per se (I mean you are on a Sony channel so expect to hear the benefits of their product vs others).

    Mirrorless cameras have a shorter battery life because the sensor is constantly active. It is required to provide an image for the electronic viewfinder or screen and has nothing to do with downsizing of the camera. Overall though, fantastic guide! Very helpful.

    Heavier cameras prevent wobbling when taking pictures. I had various cameras in the last 50 years from Rollei to Hasselblad to Canon, even a Practika. When I tried the first digital cameras, I was disappointed with the picture quality and lost interest. Now that I can achieve better photos I am starting to by recent Canon EOS models with lens sets.

  • @IPGAuto
    @IPGAuto Před 7 lety +46

    Hey, Sony, how about fix the terrible shutter issues, firmware problems, software issues and garbage user interface. Use some decent batteries, even with two batteries it can not keep up with ONE battery from either Canon or Nikon. Your super expensive body, is not weather sealed. Owners of the A7 or A7RII are reporting their shutters getting stuck in cold weather. There are SO many things wrong with the A7R II, it is seriously a risk purchasing one from Sony. Customer service is terrible, and there are almost NO authorized Sony repair centers in the US. So, in conclusion.. Sony's mirrorless body A7 (Mark I or Mark II) are plagued with errors due to incompatible hardware, bad firmware and software, a terribly thought out user interface, a really unreliable shutter and is not weather sealed. This is why the net is plagued with A7Rs for sale and owners going back to tried and true Canon and Nikon bodies. Rugged, awesome firmware and user interface and amazing quality. Sony keeps releasing bodies than never get tested. The only time they're tested is on the consumer themselves, than try to repair it with "firmware updates"

      +Connor Smyers (csmyers) it's that fast you can't notice it with the human though like you can with EVF lag. Shooting sport, the subjects already run past you before the EVFs caught up.
      The mirror obviously flips up faster than 1/8000 sec.

    Talk about battery, price, faster autofocus, availability and power of lenses., and ovf is true to life peeping through s mirror which is so good many photographers still choose DSLRs! But these mirrorless nail it in video

      Mirrorless has better autofocus but horrible battery life (I can use my A6000 for like 30 minutes and I'll have eaten through half the battery)

    not really fair since this explained by sony employee not actual photographer or at least common users and its like comparing canon DSLR with SONY mirrorless cameras,but for me since im just ordinary user i'd prefer mirrorless camera because it just simple,compact and still produce great picture

      don't be naive, a7 is a lot more complicated and poorly laid out than your typical Canon dslr. I helped my friend get his first camera and suggested getting a Sony at first. The more he tried to figure out Sony the more he leaned towards Canon, which he bought eventually.

    The first generation of full frame e-mount cameras and most of the early full frame e-mount lenses were small and light.
    However lately Sony is introducing bigger full frame e-mount cameras and most of the recent full frame e-mount lenses are equally as big and heavy as similar ones for dSLR cameras.

      How can it be an advert, if he talks about things the all companies have. It would`ve been the same if the guy from FORD said " buy a car with four wheels"
