I see that you can still buy buggy whips. 8" floppy disks are available on EBay but I doubt that there are any manufacturers producing them these days. Vinyl recordings, but not many wire or cylinder recordings. Inkwells?

I will consider buying a mirrorless camera when I see that it can do something my current cameras can't, if it's something that I want need to do. Haven't yet been moved to that point.

I must say that a larger fraction of my photos are being produced by my iPhone than in previous years, but it's easy to see the difference in the results. I still prefer my DSLR but I don't keep it in my shirt pocket. Convenience frequently dictates.

You already own a mirrorless camera, your iPhone.

Does it even really matter?
As long as the market forces are still working the builder are content. All the manufacturer cares about is moving ahead. That DSLR was from past sales. A new camera has been sold is what counts. Loyalty to old tech/fashion/trends or fads is a business killer.


What?? Of course it matters ...

If that's the case then the lack of smiley faces 😉 makes one wonder. I'm not familiar with all the different characters and require these subtle hints.

You know, I just wouldn't worry about crap like this.

Cameras are cameras. They're all similar (lens, aperture, shutter, light sensitive medium...), and they're all different in the ways they work.

New technologies come and go. Some stick around. Some fade away. Some disappear.

We still have AM and shortwave radio stations.

We still have a few daily newspapers printed on actual paper.

We still have vinyl LP recordings.

We still have buggy whips.

The dSLR will eventually fade to its appropriate level of market interest. If it fades far enough, the manufacturers will quit making them and only the used market will supply them.

Mirrorless cameras represent marketing excitement and higher margins of profitability. I have no doubt that they will, eventually, dominate the market for adjustable cameras used by professionals and high end amateurs. We can argue about when, but it's rather pointless.

Meanwhile, let's all go out and use what we have! It's more important to use a camera than it is to brag, worry, debate, or whine about it.

Exactly, except for the Buggy Whip part.

"Some interesting stats on the winning World Press Photo 2019 photographs - over 70% of the photos were shot with Nikon/Canon full-frame DSLR cameras while only 4.4% were taken with a mirrorless camera (only 2.6% were taken with a Sony camera):"

Not surprising. Historically professionals have nearly always been the last to adopt new technology. Check the numbers five years from.

I use a mirrorless hybrid because I need to record video and stills in equal proportion. I carry one small bag, instead of the two big cases I used 10 years ago. If I covered action sports, BIF, or landscapes, I’d use an entirely different rig.

The only thing that is truly new is the EVF and even that is a refinement of the live view LCD technology. Mirror less is just that, something has been taken out of the camera but nothing truly new has been put in.


Not quite true. I once went on for about eight pages here about all the new functionality available to mirrorless users.

Ha! Is that new functionality something that couldn't have been added to DSLRs? My point was that the only difference between them is the mirror. Squeezing the shutter release results in the same functional process with the only difference being that mirror movement. After the mirror ballet both follow the same script.
