BURKPHOTO: dSLRs will be with us for years to come.

ME: Yes, but you won’t be able to buy a new one soon. This isn’t rocket science. One technology replaces another. Some people will continue to use the old technology, but upgrading won’t be possible without buying something new. There will be a used market for DSLRs, lenses and accessories. After all, people still buy manual focus lenses. Prices will likely tumble as the newer technology takes over, and this may drive some people to look backward, but overall, the trend will be toward the future.

BURKPHOTO: Their market share is fading rapidly, but they still have advantages for certain types of photography that, until matched by mirrorless bodies, will make them viable.

ME: Not for long. The features of the current flagship mirrorless cameras will trickle down to new and less expensive models. This sort of thing always happens. Not only that, some of the computational features now used in phones will be passed to cameras.

For some folks, all that may be a good use of their time, but I actually do have a life outside of the Internet and the UHH, and it's simply not that important to me. As for the boring long winded responses some members have the time to enter, most folks don't read them anyway, so why do they feel it's necessary to type all that stuff when it's just going to be ignored.

So what you are saying is, mirrorless cameras don't get the colors correct! What good is a camera that can't get the colors correct?!

I administrate several worldwide Facebook Photography groups and have belonged here at UHH since 2017.

UHH members are some of the most diehard, longtime and loyal DSLR fans, who will post multiple threads over and over debating mirrorless vs DSLRs ,and find all kinds of arguments, factual or not, to extoll and justify their choice of DSLRs, while being dismissive of mirrorless.

This debate is pretty much over in the rest of the world photo community, but nothing dies here in UHH, lol, it just gets brought up again and debated over and over again and again, LOL.

Use your DSLRs if they are your long ago paid for, trusted and comfortable companions, and be happy. No one says you have to switch to mirrorless.

But for many the time has come to move on from DSLRs and on to the best of the latest mirrorless, now available in all price ranges to fit any budgets.

Be happy and use what you like and what works for you until your DSLRs fall apart or there are no more parts to fix them. For me the transition from DSLR to mirrorless was the right move for my professional and personal work, and I have no regrets and will never go backwards to any DSLR tech and DSLR limitations again.

I thank my DSLRs for many years of great service, millions of photos, and many awards they helped me garner. Now I am just as thankful, and even happier making meaningful and award-winning shots with my top mirrorless gear.

Cheers

As a hobbyist and now as a wannabe artist, there is absolutely no correlation between what any pro would do or what equipmenIt they would select and what I will buy.. There are exactly two pros here whose suggestions have any influence on my decision-making process. I hope that they know who they are, because I really do appreciate their approach to the game.

I do not and will not have a Z9, because not only am I not a pro, neither am I trying to look like one. On my outings this week, I carried one camera and no extra lenses. (A D500 the first day, a D850 the other days.) I had no trouble getting on and off the buses, did not create any delays, and did not get in anyone else's way. Also got every shot I was after.

If Nikon someday offers a Z8 or some other model that is truly a replacement for the D850, I'll take a very serious look at it. I decided not to take advantage of the Father's Day sale this time, but may still decide to get a second D850 at some point. But there is no great urgency to do either. The cameras do not define me.

No

If I were successful, I would not have to imagine..... but the answer is still no.

What about those who don't want one because they already have one?

Nobody asked you or told you to switch. No one but a dealer cares if you get a Z9 or not on a Father's Day sale or otherwise or never.

No one cares if you look or act like a pro . No one is defined by their cameras.

As I have said, use what you like and are comfortable with and be happy. Even if mirrorless have definite major advantages over DSLRs and they do, you are free to stick with what is familiar and in your comfort zone.

The D850 is a very good DSLR with a great Sony image sensor inside that produces excellent image quality, but the D850 focus system truly suffers in fast autofocus especially in video, compared to just about any of the latest mirrorless cameras, even the lower priced ones, a well-known fact. Nikon's mirrorless Z cameras have really improved on that deficiency thankfully. But if the D850 works for you and is all you need, super.

Cheers and best to you.

Well, when it comes to grass, the color it is, not what a camera decides it should be.

My Canon Rebel SL2 DSLR is still my best camera. My Canon EOS-M mirrorless is a great travel camera.


Love my SL2. I also own two 5D Mark IVs, but when I fly commercial I pack my SL2. For its size, weight, and cost, it does an amazing job.

If you use auto white balance, the camera always decides, but if you use a grey card then you decide

To Obi Wannabe Kenobi you listen, He cares about what he looks like and what others think of him. his equipment must not make him look like a pro, otherwise he has to measure up to their expectations. He so fears looking like a pro so much he will only carry more than one lens regardless of how many he needs. He is afraid to carry more than one camera that he might give off the slightest hint he looks like a pro and he fears, that his camera may define him as something he cannot live up to and the universe would end if anyone see him take an extra 1/10th of a second to get off the bus. His fear is so great, he already has d500 is a backup camera but instead of buying a z9, would rather have a second D850, instead of looking like a pro. Oh the life of Obi Wannabe Kenobi. The shame and embarrassment of looking like something he cannot measure up to.. a pro level image producer, with a pro level camera. Oh the shame Just messing with ya.

Has anyone ever seen a mirrorless camera on the road to failure?

I would agree with you on everything you said. I recently bought the Canon R5. Photography, to me, is is an avocation NOT a vocation. The R5 is taking me a LOT more time to tame than my previous one (7DII). The owner's manual is 900 pages. The camera menu is large. There are a lot of main categories with MANY sub categories. It seems the only way to familiarize yourself with it is to constantly scroll thru the whole thing on the camera over and over. Apparently, there is no written chart that in my mind would certainly help you find things more quickly. I'm a gardener. I've been pretty busy doing that too. I have been out playing around with it and some shots have been good and some not. I'm hanging in there though but making progress. It's a big leap from the 7DII.

Come on. I'm sure he didn't mean the green was some 'odd' color. It's just an expression.
