No its not because we don't have the eye. We don't drag out the equipment and take the time to set it up have the subject wait patiently while we dial in the proper settings. This all takes time and energy and patience and our subjects are not inclined to be patient. As a matter of fact most of my subjects dislike having their picture taken. They avoid it when possible or pose ignoring direction, exaggerating expressions or sometimes even act silly...or simply ignore me.

That is why I'm a snap shooter and you know what...the people I share my images with mostly don't care because that's all they know.

Now your claim is funny. I don’t even know how to reply to that. The more I see you say, the less than think you understand photography.

So many opinions....and not one talks about the video capabilities. I recently made the switch. I shot the Halloween night with the kids and enjoyed our “Michael” dancing around the neighborhood in both incredible low light stills, and 4K video. My wife made a nice short video. Lots of fun! Enjoy

Forgive me if this was said previously as I didn't have time to wade through all the posts, but, I believe a mirror less camera would be full frame. Which means you lose the "zoom factor" of a crop sensor. So, if you want/need the reach it seems like the question is answered.

Comments?

Better read up on mirrorless cameras.

Why would you believe that?

I am not sure what you meant but the Sony uses the same lens mount for the A7/A9 as the A6xxx so the A6xxx's have crop sensor.

Change "would" to "could" and I could believe it.

I still don't have a dog in this DSLR vs Mirrorless fight but all I
can say to the skeptics who say it won't happen....who would
have expected Ford to announce the end of it's 4-dr. sedan
production?


That is just ford admitting that the 4dr sedan mkt belongs to the
Asian brands. its not in the least ford saying that the 4 dr sedan
is finished. You present a false equivalence.

I do all kinds of photography but I mostly enjoy doing birds for which I am using a Canon 7D II with a Tamron 150-600 and frequently a 1.4X extender. It seems to me that a mirrorless camera would offer a small decrease of the weight (as the weight is mainly in the lens and not in the body), a limited choice of lenses and no gain in picture quality. Therefore I am inclined to purchase (when available) a Canon 7D III and not a mirrorles.
Please advise!


Same here. No mirrorless for my needs unless I choose to use it for only certain things like portraits, landscapes, and star trails and milky way. For sports, action and wildlife with be lenses they just don't make sense.

Cameras are like guns...small and light make control difficult, but more portable. Large makes for more stable shots but less portable. If you don't need light weight then I'd stay with a DSLR. This coming from an Oly M4/3 shooter. Fit the camera to your shooting style or subject demand, not the other way around. Go shoot a golf tournament where a silent shutter is necessary, a mirrorless would be perfect. Shooting birds, a DSLR would probably be better..IMO

I think this mirrorless or DSLR thing is not getting the right answer. For some shooters here with Canon and Nikon kits full of great lens who
shoot in the wilds and other venues a DSLR is right to stay with. I have a friend she shoots portraits in a studio. We had this discussion
and I told her the Canon DSLR's and great lens are perfect for her. She likes the bigger camera and the settings and imagery.
The Sony success with mirrorless is more about the imagery and advanced sensor technology for me. I had Nikon's for years and
miss the size and focusing etc. I personally like the Sony IQ their sensors are on the leading edge. The size of the camera's
does come into play. My a7s II (still a gem) with a 70 to 200 f4 is a much lighter alternative. I always carry a RX100 4 and sometimes
the a6300 with 16 70 zeiss lens and really like the imagery. I also shoot video for the few clients I have plus my own work
and Sony's breakthrough was the a7s. We matched it up with 10k Sony pro camcorders as a B camera.
Canon started the indie DSLR video surge a few years ago but let the advances go to others.

Are you serious really? Don’t make sense for sports, action, etc.? Man your misinformed!

And the lenses (at least for Canon) are said to work equal to or better on the FF mirrorless.
