Just an observation. There are a lot of people on this site who are keen to share their lack of knowledge. Beware those who comment from a position of zero experience, and who rely on what they have read elsewhere without any attempt at validation. Try some gentle follow up questions and see what I mean.

I especially “like” it when people who have never owned a mirrorless camera (and probably have no intention of ever owning one) spew false information about them. The sad thing is most of the time they are spot on with their comments/recommendations...it’s just when it comes to not when mirrorless gear they are wrong.

Also true.

I have no desire to change to a mirrorless camera. My DSLR meets my needs just fine.

I actually, after 35 years of Nikon SLR/DSLR's sold my beloved D700 and went to Olympus. The Pen-f and EM-1 I and II that I had were pretty darn spectacular, but, they never got to that certain something that a FF DSLR has. The DOF was a problem, the bokeh was lacking, their tracking AF, while much improved from the early models, couldn't keep up with a D750 (to say nothing of A D500) and I just wasn't generally happy with the output. Not to say it was bad; it wasn't. It just didn't grab me like the D750 does. I'll put up with the weight and be happy again.

Grand, happy snapping to you. Did someone suggest you should change?

David Taylor

Glad to hear you're happy again, thanks for commenting. D.

Only the people here that believe it's the way to go.

I have both a Nikon D7200 and Panasonic GX85, each with several good lenses, and use both several times most weeks...and they each have their value and uses. Anyone who criticizes mirrorless without understanding the enjoyment a small body/lens kit can provide is foolish. The small form factor is an advantage for a lot of people who photograph for recreational value and not professional...and they provide excellent results. And, btw, explain to us how Sony and their vast mirrorless line of FF and DX cameras have it wrong!

One real advantage of mirrorless that you didn't address is their generally lower "getting in cost" which is significant for many. You can be a "car snob" or a "camera snob" depending if you are driving a BMW or VW or shooting "L" lenses or kit. Mirrorless has its place and functional value so lets take it easy on'em. And, I'm speaking from a lot of expensive experience over the last twenty years having owned most of the major brands/models!

Enough already.

Interesting points, thank you for your input.
