You mean it's not all about smoke and mirrors?

When the new models ended, DLSRs passed into legend. And mirrors became myth. And by 2023 only those with the longest memories could remember a time when photography was limited by mirrors.

Would that be the Second Age?

The Wheel of Time turns, grinding DSLRs into dust, leaving memories that soon become legend, where not even the Wise of UHH can still remember the technical details.

Thus begins the Third Age.

So that is your rational to go mirrorless?

Why do I love mirrorless? Let me count the ways:

1. Smaller body by removing the space needed for that yesteryear flapping mirror.
2. IBIS that turns every lens into a stabilized lens, even the golden oldies of the manual focus, pre-electronic ages.
3. EVF with shimmering highlights of the plane of focus.
4. Histogram available for display in electronic view finder (EVF).
5. Detailed 10x zoom in EVF.
6. Silent (not a single noise) shutter.
7. Extreme frames per second, 20+.
8. Image playback in EVF for review when LCD impossible to see in bright light.
9. Image playback at 10x zoom in EVF.
10. Sharper mirrorless lens designs.
11. More ultra fast lenses as sharp wide open as any stepped down DSLR lens ever.
12. One digital platform supporting portfolio of legacy DSLR lenses, legacy SLR lenses and modern mirrorless lenses.
13. Autofocus beyond f/8 for extended configurations.
14. Platform for any / all ongoing technology advancements in digital photography.
15. EVF that displays the results of the image before shooting.
16. EVF that allows for ad hoc updates like boosting the ISO for a brighter focus view, then restore ISO and shoot, without even lowering the camera from a shooting position.
17. Entire frame available for selective AF position.

I'm sure I missed probably several others.

Every time a mirrorless camera gets its wings, a DSLR somewhere explodes into a puff of dust. If you want to keep that old equipment, use large ziplock bags or trashcan liners for easy cleanup of the resulting mess.


And with silent shutters, no bell will ring!

I predicted a few years back that eventually all new cameras will adopt mirrorless. I guess I was right.

True and it can also make phone calls.

Get a life and have some fun rather than attacking one of the most experienced and wise counselors among us.

The bell is ringing for DSLRs...(sorry for the license taken).
Any camera's death diminishes me, for I am involved in photography. Any therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

Learn to understand what you are reading. I'm not attacking the person. Its only about his post.
What he does and what he is, is not the same.

Having fun by making fun of other people is not acceptable. That is being mean and a bully.
