Quote:Personally, i'm getting increasingly fed up with the DSLR focussing...
DSLR: I have become resigned to shooting 4-5 pictures when i need just 1. Focus is just too iffy all the time. Its not easy to get a tack sharp image unless you take few shots. And here's the worst part: You find that the picture/expression you like is the one which is out of focus. You decide to go ahead with a mis-focussed shot because of course you can't go ahead with a perfectly sharp but bad picture.
Mirror Less: 1 click, perfect focus. 6 shots, 6 variations
Example:
Headshot with D800 and 180/2.8 wide open: needed to take 6 shots...
Headshot with OMD and 75/1.8 wide open: needed to take 3 shots, all tack sharp.
This is so true.
I own a D800 and a Pana G3. I'm more and more thinking about dropping the D800 to go full MFT instead (when Olympus will finally decide to release a body with integrated EVF, 100 ISO, small focus points and 1/8000 shutter speed).
PDAF is just not reliable, no matter what people say. I can't care less about focus tracking. I just want reliable single AF shots. Nothing less, nothing more. Yet, only CDAF delivers true reliability. I love my G3 for this as I don't have to constantly reivew my shots to make sure they are in focus. Plus, the focus calibration is just a nightmare. I'm so tired of this "archaic" tech.
What I'd really like to see is MFT with a FF sensor
