S.L.R. Why?

Many photographers seem very attached to the mirror and its box on an slr , as opposed to a camera without the mirror, but with a viewfinder.
Could they explain why?

Just sounds like some serious stuff is going on when that mirror
slams up and back down! :thumbup:

Through the lens lacks parallax. No mater how hard the manufactures try, the view finder will not give you the same view. Newer cameras like the canon sx50 are mirror less,thus limiting weight, camera shake, and wear and tear.

I like my live view to be a reflected view, not electronic. I think in the early days the electronic view was low rez and there was a time lag. The slr had neither problem. Even better were the rangefinder cameras. I loved using the Leica M4, but shooting sports with long lenses or parallax problems with closer subjects were sometimes a problem.

I much prefer to see exactly what my lens is seeing, and not looking at a JPG processed image of it as an EVF gives you.

It is my choice and I am not questioning it. I'm content and happy and I leave others free to evaluate and make their own choice. So my only advice is to study and then choose for your self, ignoring other's influence and biased or ignorant suggestions. I hope I don't sound too contentious. I just love freedom.

My 3MOS Panasonic video I use for weddings has an electronic finder with high res, the small FUJI bridge camera I use for cycling has an electronic finder, I prefer the old style, crisp and bright, as on my Nikon F that is the film camera, and Nikkormat FTn, and D7000s

Griff, you must be a newbie rookie.
You must have missed the whole rangefinder scene. Have you never had a strap in your foto?
I never shoot my DSLR on quiet mode. I'm afraid a little girl will see me and call me a wimp!
I wish my 4x5 had a mirror, I could use it to do my make-up.
But I have not answered your query. I like peering into my lens and out the viewfinder. It's the only way to truely see just how much crap is on my mirror. If not for that, I'd get a rangefinder. SS

Thank you, SharpShooter; I thought it would have to be something like that . . .

I chose the DSLR route, so that I could still use most, if not all of the Nikon lenses I had purchased over the years, since 1959. Logical ...practical..personal.

I chose the DSLR route because I had no idea that there was any other way...If I knew then what i know now and I had unlimited cash I'd shoot all Leica rangefinders.
But even then, certain camera styles lend themselves to certain jobs. I had a kid in Lacrosse and wrestling and needed what a DSLR had to offer, I couldn't have shot what I shot with a rangefinder at that time.
But now, kids grown up, it's different.

Camera is a tool, There are different tools for different jobs.
P&S camera doe some things well and others not so much.
As do DSLR, or Bridge camera, or Mirrorless.
I know a lady that does "pet portraits" and that is all she does. Very creative, high quality images. She hoots an entry level dSLR and kit lens because that's all she needs.
Simply match tools to job.
