18 years ago the SLR/dSLR time is counting down and soon we will dont need those mechanics , mirrors prisms, optics etc.
It is 2018 - what is the situations now?
Strange, dSLR are still dominating the highend segment.
Most people are using smartphones including some sport journalists.
Small group - most are techical savy guys use mirrorless.
The promised ML advantage is still not there
My short summary - Please correct me if i'm wrong.
We are back to 1960...1980.
1. SLR is the workhouse - It is reliable, complete system /in terms of FL/macro&lighting/ and give good IQ for magazine and famility albums and even more that we want - like large meduim format in 70's
2. ML takes place of RF. Great light setup with 1 UWA zoom & 21,35,50,90 primes. - no more no less. Also great for films. No wonder that this group is small. My 3cam smartphone offer something similar.
3.. The biggest part /99% of population/ is using smartphones. - something like SLR in 70's
I'm still puzzeling the mirrorless segment.
FL - 24...90mm is already covered by high-end smartphones.
Macro, 200mm++ range, mobile flashes is dSLR kingdom.
High quality filming seem to be the only one free space for mirrorless
What do you think?
