DSLR to Mirrorless Shift

Don't Canon and Nikon make pretty good mirrorless cameras too?

Nikon has a nice mirrorless series of cameras (the Z-series). Both Canon and Nikon have gotten more serious on that front over the last few years. Especially their full frame mirrorless offerings are pretty nice and competitive. Sony is still considered quite good in this space but it is a lot closer than it was a few years ago.I also bought a Fuji this year (X-T30), upgrading from an old Canon Rebel. I'm so far really liking it. For me it's as much about the form-factor as it is ab

The end of an era, but Nikon is following a lot of other manufacturers like Olympus, Sony, Leica. SLRs were a great product, but about 10 years ago, mirrorless cameras started to overtake them in many aspects. The EVF has many advantages, of course especially for video recording. All new camera models now are mirrorless. Like analog SLRs gave way to DSLRs, now the migration to mirrorless is going to be finished. I wouldn't expect Canon to stick to DSLRs much longer either.

wait, this is a DSLR?Why would they do that instead of mirrorless?

I get why this is happening but it still makes me sad. There's really no better experience than being able to look through the viewfinder, track the target and have a pretty good idea of the composition (the viewfinder is typically 95-99% of the frame). Any mirrorless system has limitations on low light and latency (of reading the light and then displaying it on a separate screen). This has gotten better but it can never really compete with the sensitivity of a human eye and low latency of

You mean something like the mirror less offerings that Samsung and Sony have?

One point of interest is that Nikon and Canon, the giants of DSLRs, were very resistant to do mirrorless, even as Sony, Fuji and Olympus went down that way. They are now going into mirrorless big time.Part of it I guess is that the technology got better, but also oh what an excuse to sell everyone their lenses again! You can use adapters on older lenses, but usually with some (minor) loss of optical quality, and more clunkiness - bit like with dongles I guess! Old DSLR lines are also being ph

get a mirrorless... DSLR are old, can't even compare these 48mp images to say a Sony at 48mp well i guess if your not that into printing large and only viewing your images on facebook i guess its fine.

Too bad Nikon practically stopped making DSLRs

I see photography gear and companies as more diverse than when I first started getting into the hobby 10 years ago. Maybe I just didn't see other companies, but when I got into it, only Nikon and Canon were doing prosumer DSLRs. Now that technology has moved on and DSLRs aren't the One True Camera, I would say that Sony, Pentax, Canon, Fuji, Olympus and Nikon are all squarely in the prosumer market with a good range from low to high end. I sold all my Canon bodies and L glass to switch
