The King Is Dead—Long Live The King

Never heard it mentioned, but how about sensors INSIDE of lenses? Never a spot on the sensor, no air between the final element and the sensor, always precise calibration. (Might have to do away with IBIS though, and must have electric contacts to an internal module.)

The 35mm film camera had a long reign as the king of photography cameras. It was replaced as king by the DSLR, which had a relatively short reign. Now the mirrorless camera is king. What will come along next to depose the mirrorless camera as king?
Mirrorless is the prince, waiting for the king to die.

Rangefinder I thought used a mirror in the viewfinder for focus.
Perhaps I am mistaken.
Perhaps I am mistaken.
I think you are correct. Just no flopping mirror. One certainly doesn't look straight through the lens. This getting older isn't a good thing. My Golden Years may be getting somewhat tarnished. Still good though when I open my eyes in the morning. I know the day will be great.

Its already been displaced by the smart phone camera. 1.4 billion sold in 2021 vs 3.1 million mirrorless cameras.

Not so fast. I am STILL using 35mm, 120 and DSLR's as well as just one mirrorless camera. I get great enjoyment from using every one of them and more. If mirrorless has taken over your life then congratulations. But many of us are still quite happy using those that have made us happy for decades now.

"KING" of what? Your proclamation has more holes than a screen door. New to photography?

I don't even remember the brand of my 35mm camera kit that sits in a case in the garage. Have not used my Canon T3i in a few years. Most of my years of motorcycle travel about the USA was with point and shoots ending up with 2 Canon G16's which I still use. Then my Canon XS50 once in awhile. My main camera at present the my Canon M50.

I don't accept your premise that mirrorless is the king of anything!

Nikon already has the shutterless Z9.
I almost never use the shutters in my various cameras. Makes sense to just leave it out by design.

If you are comparing DSLR with mirrorless, wouldn't it be more accurate to divide film cameras into the rangefinder and the SLR categories?
Thaz exactly the way it always was.
Introduction of that stoopid term "mirrorless" fugged up the language.
