Let’s settle the debate (or make it worse 😅).

🗣️ Talk about:

• Which camera you use and why

• Pros and cons of each

• Best picks for beginners or pros

Gearheads, this is your thread!

As a photographer, my preference has definitely shifted towards Mirrorless cameras, and here's why:

While DSLRs were the workhorses for years and still offer fantastic image quality, the advancements in mirrorless technology have made them incredibly compelling for a professional.

• Electronic Viewfinder (EVF): This is a game-changer. Seeing your exposure, white balance, and even creative effects before you press the shutter button means fewer re-takes and a more efficient workflow. It's truly "what you see is what you get."

• Superior Autofocus: Mirrorless cameras, especially newer models, often boast faster, more accurate autofocus systems with impressive tracking capabilities (including eye and animal detection). This is crucial for capturing sharp images, especially with moving subjects.

• Compact & Lighter Weight: For long shoots, travel, or just carrying your gear around, the reduced size and weight of mirrorless systems are a significant advantage. It leads to less fatigue and allows for a more nimble approach.

• Silent Shooting: The electronic shutter in many mirrorless cameras allows for completely silent shooting, which is invaluable in situations like weddings, wildlife photography, or quiet events where discretion is key.

• Advanced Video Capabilities: If video is part of your work, mirrorless cameras generally excel with features like 4K/8K recording, better in-body image stabilization, and more advanced video autofocus.

While DSLRs still have excellent battery life and a vast array of legacy lenses, the mirrorless ecosystem is rapidly expanding, and battery technology is constantly improving. For a modern photographer, the advantages of mirrorless cameras in terms of technology, efficiency, and portability are hard to ignore.
