You are about to get inundated with replies from many so-called photographers offering you a lot of opinions. I am going to offer you some FACTS:

1. In comparing DX to FX, you will observe that FX is heavier and larger in size than DX.
2. Weight and/or size may be an issue for you. These facts apply to both camera bodies, as well as to lenses of similar focal length and aperture (f stop).
3. FX bodies and FX lenses are more expensive than DX bodies and DX lenses when comparing bodies with the same capabilities and/or lenses with the same capabilities.
4. Mirrorless is more quiet than SLR because there is no mirror slap and because some mirrorless cameras have an electronic shutter mode.
5. Mirrorless is generally more compact in size and lower in weight than SLR (assuing equivalent capability/features).
6. You can use most, if not all, FX lenses on a DX body with no problems, but if you use a DX lens on an FX body you may encounter problems depending on your needs and settings/focal length(s), etc.
7. Most professional photographers use FX because they can squeeze out a better image from that black box and they know how to get the most from their camera.
8. Some professionals use DX for a variety reasons.
9. Anything Bill Burke or Linda of Maine writes on this website is gospel fact and trumps what I have written.

Now for a few OPINIONS:
1. Unless you are a professional photographer, smaller, lighter, and cheaper is better than bigger, heavier, and expensive.
2. Unless you are: a street photographer desiring to be inconspicuous, a nature lover taking photos of deer in the woods, a spy, or a private investigator, the noise of mirror slap is not a big deal.
3. Anything Bil Burke or Linda of Maine writes on this website is gospel fact and trumps what I have written.

Good luck.

It may all be in the genes, but..... reading the OP's answer sure helps.

Galaxy S10+.... better than you could imagine.

[quote=Ysarex]I started teaching it in 1992. I've rarely had to pay for it as my employer picked up that tab. The CC account and apps I just deleted were payed for by the college where I teach/taught.

"Payed"? Glad you taught photography and not English. :-)

Most impressive technique I've seen in a long time. Well done indeed.

Kinda looks like she took a .45 to the right groin area... lighting, I guess.

I am VERY happy with my Panasonic Lumix GX-9. Not a G9, but a GX-9.... there is a difference. micro 4/3 camera, light and capable.

I'll bet that lass was a pollywog.....

Those are some damn beautiful photos, especially #2 and #3. They're so good it's hard to believe that these were taken with a cell phone. Very impressive indeed.
