I'm team DSLR 'cuz Mirroeless systems are not that better than DSLR's... DSLR's can be bought I guess for 2 more years, by then the Mirroeless systems' technology would've evoluted.
Team DSLR, because of the advantage you have with lens selection and an optical viewfinder, makes it great to take pictures, it is heavier but I prefer the weight.
Mirrorless is better. Mirrorless give the full frame unlike DSLR. DSLR they call it cropped frame which forces you to go far if you are using lense like 50mm.
Mirrorless actually sounds good if you someone who would be making video but I wouldn’t actually mind having anyone , they capture things differently and that’s awesome , very informative vid
Firstly Thanks for a superbly informative video. I have progressed through 3 generations of photography, from shooting and developing film (as an airforce photographer), to my digital DSLR shooting fashion...having all that gear stolen, and so having to get all new gear, I chose to go mirrorless, and do not regret it at all. These cameras and lenses are smaller and lighter, and as I shoot mainly landscapes now, as a more mature guy, I'm grateful to hike with less weight, but still come home with epic shots to edit. DSLR is not dead (yet), but it is on life support at the moment. For me mirrorless is the future and I look forward to the next generation.
I personally like DLSR because the battery lasts for days, and photos seem to be instantaneous, what with the system not solely relying on software. I also like the idea that my sensor is hidden away most of the time.
That's a great point. A DSLR body with the vertical grip that adds a second battery means you'll more likely run out of memory card space before you drain your batteries.
One of the best informative video about this topic that I have ever met (I watched a lot). I also highly appreciated that you cited all the references of your sources and paid tribute to the creators. I am still for DSLR since I am buying the current technology. But I guess, in the near future I will be going for mirrorless cameras...
I am currently shooting my youtube videos on my iPhone 7. I'm thinking of buying a camera, and your video has helped me to make a decision. I'll get a Canon mirrorless. I think I will get a M50. I need something basic and easy to use. I would make just a suggestion to your video, to remove the background music in the middle, maybe just leave at the beginning and the end. Just a suggestion. I really like your style of teaching. Thank you.
That sounds like the right choice for video. The advantages of DSLR cameras wouldn't really apply in your situation. One uses the optical finder on a DSLR only for still photography. And the longer battery life of DSLRs applies during still photography work, as well. However, when one is shooting video, either platform would be draining a lot of battery energy. I'm still using a Canon Rebel T7i dslr for video. It's great, but I may need to jump over to mirrorless mainly because of the lenses Canon is making for that platform. A huge issue with many Canon lenses for DSLR is how noisy they are, which makes them almost useless for video work --- unless you're recording audio on a separate system.
Thanks for this excellent overview. I still stick with my "hybrid" Nikon D780: the best of both worlds so to say. I like the 2000+ shots on a single battery charge and with a DSLR it is easier to focus in poor light. And yes, psychologically, I like to directly see what I am about to photograph. But my next camera (in 5 years?) will probably be mirrorless I suppose.
Currently just purchased the Nikon z6ii going from a D3s flagship dslr and As much as it’s an amazing camera, light weight, the focus is great, I am struggling with the learning curve. The EVF is not my thing, the delay seems like a lot, I feel like I’m playing with too many buttons a lot. And the battery life is terrible. I’m not used to charging daily. I’m leaning towards a return and upgrading to a D5
May I offer my review, I bought M50 a little more than month ago. The camera is really good, it is my first camera different than smartphone, so I can't really compare it. However you quickly realise it's shortcomings, for me the downsides are the 4K is nearly unusable with its crop and the terrible autofocus, and the 120fps is only available in 720p, which isn't completely unusable, but if you love slow mo you deffinitely wanna go 1080p 120fps (the m6 mkii has). As you can probably guess, I'm a lot more into videography than photography. I'm doing some photos here and there, but nothing serious. I would've easily went for the m6 mkii instead, IF it had flip-out screen and built in viewfinder. That being said, there's been rumors that later this year, Canon will release new M bodies, the guesses are that there might be new version of the M50 (suggesting it will be named M60) with 4K uncropped with DPAF (one of the best AF), 1080p120fps, IBIS and hopefully they'll keep the nice body the M50 has (I wouldn't mind some more added physical dials and buttons). As far as photography goes, I did notice some shortcomings aswell, my biggest complains being the dynamic range (maybe user error here, but it's really hard not to overexpose or underexpose especially if you have complicated frame with lots of things). Many times I find myself having to choose what I wanna over/underexpose rather than keep the whole scene properly exposed. Another thing, the ISO is sort of meh, if you're into low-light situations, you deffinitely wanna pick up a fast lens (f1.4 or f1.8 should do), the kit lens is pretty bad at low-light. All that being said, I'm happy with my purchase I think what I got deffinitely is worth the money, and I'll be eagerly awaiting Canon to release upgraded version of the camera, hopefully addressing the shortcomings!
@@kasabov5747 I have an M50 as well. I found it for a great deal and upgraded from an M100 to get around the shortcomings of the M100. The M50 is better in a lot of ways but I completely agree with every word you said. The M6Mkii is an extra couple hundred for the EVF and it's base price is a little higher as well, then you need to need to buy more stuff to move things around so the screen is more usable and you can't use a Mic and the EVF at the same time I think. None of these things are deal breakers but I agree that waiting for the M60 might be the best move IF video is very important to you. Also the M50 dynamic range is not great but I don't think it's much behind other cameras. Coming form a smart phone it seems like the dynamic range is really bad but smart phones actually have pretty bad dynamic range. It's just that they work some black magic with all of the processing power that they have, you can do the same by shooting raw and post processing or using HDR modes.
Hello OrmsTV, I have been a Nikon DSLR guy for years. Lately, I have been very interested in acquiring a mirrorless camera and I am clearly including for a Sony (never had a Sony Camera before). Do you know if there is any adapter available in the market to use NIKON DSLR lenses in a Sony mirrorless camera? Thanks for your video! It was really clear and helpful!
Although I don't own one, but I am Team mirrorless, definitely. It's lightweight, perfect for travel and I'm really into vlogging so it takes the win for me. Thanks for the in depth info OrmsTv♥️
I recently made the switch between Canon DSLR and Fujifilm Mirrorless. Best decision I ever msde. Size, weight a huge difference. The EVF is out of this world. The electronic Shutter is crazy fast and quite, pretty awesome for panning. Focus peaking is life changing. The only downside to mirrorless is battery life. So for me Mirrorless is the best. As great as the DSLR systems were they are now a thing of the past, mirrorless is the future.
I'm in the market for a mirrorless camera, but want to do astrophotography basics as well as video. What would you recommend between Canon M6 II, Sony a6400 and Nikon Z50 and why?
I’m a youtuber and content creator Personally in this case , I would go with a MIRRORLESS. Firstly , cause of its wide range of lenses, the face detect and autofocus ‘s accuracy , speed & focus is impeccable👏🏼👏🏼.Which is big thumbs up for showcasing the products I use on my UA-cam channel .Let’s not also forget the quality of the mirror less when coming to filming videos. So I’d most definitely go for a MIRRORLESS. 👏🏼
This sets the standard for quality of content and depth of technical details needed in an explanation ! Very impressive !! Thanks a lot for the efforts !!
You should try the D780, it has the mirrorless tech but lets you use the F-mounts of DSLR, it sounds like a match made in heaven for DSLR F mount lens users!!
Your video on this subject is the best one I have seen. I am buying a second camera. My first is a Fujifilm 100? mirrorless street camera. I wanted to get one with additional lenses and almost went with the Canon 90D, but after watching this video, I think I will stay with a new mirrorless with interchangeable lenses.
Really good comprehensive analysis thankyou. I'm using DSLR but thinking that to have both will satisfy the need to be creative in different ways by using both mirrorless and DSLR. Why not have both at your disposal to further challenge ones-self? I'm off to the bank for a loan.......
Been living with DSLR, but as of today I'm definitely hooked on the technology of Mirrorless plus the weight saving and live image settings are awesome. Video shoots will be a walk over. Definitely buy Mirrorless!
While I love the tech that is coming out for mirrorless, as it currently stands DSLR lenses are cheaper for the same quality, which is one of the reasons I went with a DSLR. Switching to mirrorless would mean trading my secondhand $700 tamron 70-200 f2.8 for the rf mount version from canon at $2800 used is just NOT happening. I know that Tamron and other 3rd party lens companies are moving into making mirrorless glass, so interested to see where things will go. I also find DSLR's just felt better in my hands. If I had infinite money, I would have my DSLR for things where I need a longer lens (action/wildlife/etc), and then have a mirrorless that I keep in my purse 24/7 for everything else. I admit that the DSLR is just kind of chonky for everyday carrying around, and a mirrorless would do just fine with a short little lens :)
This didn’t help me AT ALL! I’m even more torn! You explained everything, so well! I have a DSLR and I’m trying to upgrade. I thought my mind was made up but nope! 😂😂 Great video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
I have found that Battery Rating and actual battery life is not close. On a recent outing I had my Sony A7r4 (with a battery that was a little over a year old) in weather that was -2 to 0 C. During this trip the first battery lasted for about 5.5 hours and 1100 shots. I took a lot of high burst rate shots with AF-C through the EFV which per guide is the most battery intensive action I could take outside of video. I have been out on full day trips (>12hrs) and have never used more than 2 batteries while taking thousands of shots. I think the Battery Ratings are just the manufactures just stating a number with no actual testing behind the value.
EXCELLENT presentation! I have no (zero) interest in video photography. My photo interests are traditional "capture the moment - in one frame". It does not go unnoticed that there are often references to video being a distinctive advantage with the mirrorless format. Your presentation helps a lot, particularly pursuing what's worth the investment.
What is "art"? Paintings hanging on a wall? Sculpture? Outdoor murals? If you're shooting indoor 2D artwork, I think the camera that you choose isn't that important. Much more important are the lights that you use. But if you're starting from scratch, you might as well jump into the mirrorless camera/lenses world.
Lots of great information, unfortunately the noise played in the background was loud, distracting & most annoying! Please consider dropping it from your future videos.
I'm all onboard with Mirrorless camera bodies, because of the advancements in technology. However, I just want this mirrorless technology to be used with my beautiful F-mount lenses. I've yet to see any difference in photo quality between a mirrorless lens vs an F-Mount DSLR lens except for maybe the difference in sizes (physically). The Nikon D780 is Nikon's response to my petitions ( and many others), however, for me, a built-in flash is essential and 4k 60fps is needed in today's video market. I was out at night in a protest where there were no flashes, lights, etc, and the built in flash came in handy for those casual photos for when my flash unit was not readily available. Overall, I hope to see a Nikon D790 or beyond that will enfuse this new mirrorless technology firmly with the F-mount family, the D780 is def a step in the right direction. Great video. BTW, not sure if you have, but could you do a photo comparison between the D780 vs a another mirrorless camera body so as to see the photos side by side?, I would like to see the Nikon D780 use a F-mount lens vs a mirrorless lens on a mirrorless camera body made for that camera to see the diff in image quality. Thank you.
Team DSLR here, but I'm grandfathered in. To anyone thinking of getting seriously into photography go mirrorless if you're OK investing in all new gear, have the money to spend and plan to travel. Mirrorless is smaller and lighter, great for moving around. Can you smell a .. ...but, if you're trying to get a good kit put together for a limited budget, DSLR is the way to go. Used bodies are a way to save money (but buy new if you can). Get one with shutter counts as low as possible and only buy from reputable re-sellers (make sure your Ebay seller is well established in photography gear). And used lenses are for sure the way to save bigly. The risk is much less than with bodies so generally speaking, getting burned on a used lens is extremely rare, but again, buy from reputable re-sellers. And don't forget to factor in accessories into your budget. Memory cards, external flashes (all built in flashes are shit, don't use them), straps, bags, and no serious photographer doesn't own at least one good tripod.
Thank you for another great video and for sharing your knowledge with us always very helpful I currently use a entry level dslr and hope in the future I can get myself a mirrorless camera
Whats the difference between mirrorless and like the small digital camera people had before phones, i had like faux dslr camera with a fixed lens but the viewfinder was just the digital display from 2008. ( i cant use this camera any more because the battery holder is broken so the batteries wont stay in the camera unless i was holding it tight all day.)
It was a very enlightening video! Thanks for that. I'm dentist and I already have a nikon 3500 with my studio and macro lens 100mm to make procedures photos. But now I wanna make also videos. Can you indicate a good and not too expensive one to buy?
For now I shoot with DSLRs, preparing to venture into the mirrorless soon. Have been a canon shooter and partly haven't gone mirrorless coz canon hadn't produced a good offering and shifting brands is always stressful. Now that Canon has mirrorless bodies, its gonna be easy to go into that system without the stress of switching.
Very good presentation comparing dslr and mirrorless cameras as of 2020. I'm a highly knowledgeable and highly experienced camera and photography enthusiast of many years. I will soon own my first ever dslr, a nikon d750 which is the highest level of dslr camera I can presently afford. Mirrorless digital cameras are slowly beginning to win me over. Sony appears to be the best in this category, due to large research and development investment in this newer technology, which appears to be the future for digital cameras.
Three years after this video posted and I continue to use my 35mm and 6x7 film cameras. Occasionally I'll use my dslr to confirm an exposure and composition for a film image. And all of my expensive glass, for my 35mm slrs, work without modification on my dslr. I just don't see the advantage of spending thousands of dollars on new technology that I'm not likely to take advantage of.
I'm looking into photography not videography/vlogging, currently using Eos3000d and planning to upgrade eos90d, is it good or should I go for mirror less
Hey I want to buy a camera and was confused which one to buy this might be tha best video available on yr for this topic..and a want a advice what mirrorless camera should I buy for photography?? Please try to give brief description..I mean there are lots of camera but which one should I buy (under 500 dollars) ?? Name atleast 3 Ps: thank you
I switched back to a DSLR after trying Sony and Fuji. Size doesn't matter when your lenses are big. I'm also not a videographer. Optical viewfinder all the way. I'm never going to look back.
Same mate sold my Sony A6400 and going back to my Canon 80D I want Battery life and Bulky feel in my hands while Getting any lens I want cheaper but Sony don't do that overpriced lenses and shit battery life
Mirrorless is an amazing jump forward. I look forward to seeing the all the talented photographer's putting this technology through its paces. Mirrorless would be my first choice. I'm loving the advanced auto focus advantages you will find in the mirrorless camera. And don't get me started on the high quality output options.
It’s not an amazing jump forward. That is just patently false. Horse drawn carriage vs 2020 Acura RDX A-spec is a huge jump forward. DSLR to mirrorless are just two modern ways to take a photo.
hello i have simple question as you see in my comment. im bigginer of photography i just want ask what i can buy if i want very good photos of sea,sunset,sunrise. i living in small island there is just sea around and very nice place & lof of waves also very quick change weather around 6 times each day lot of wind rain etc also fog and biggest raibows what i ever seen. i want capture it and make some good photos. thanks lot for reply. TG
sir i have a d5600 plan on switchingto a6400..im a newbie what advice can you give..should i stick to dslr to study or should i go with mirrorless..thanks!!
If I use a high end mirrorless body with my existing Canon (1Dx) EF lenses with an adapter would I loose image quality or usability e.g., fast auto focus, Vs mirrorless body with R mount lenses (of equivalent high end lenses)?
Is it still worth investing in Canon EF lenses and will my current EF lenses perform the same or better on mirrorless. What is a good sport mirrorless camera at the moment of you want to upgrade from your 7d2 , now that there won’t be a 7d3
I currently only have DSLR however, having both mirrorless and DSLR will be great way to go for me. Both team mirrorless and team DSLR have own advantage, if you need to do a job that required to shoot whole day having DSLR will definitely be helpful but mirrorless would be easier to get exposure quicker. Lucky I didn't switch to mirrorless too early as technology of mirrorless will only get better and better.
And why ist the 5 D MK IV at around 2000 bucks used while the newer Canon EOS R is at 1300 Bucks used? The same with the Nikon D780 vs the Nikon Z 6. the D780 costs more than the Z6. What do u think is the reason for that? Thx
I would say because the 5D is a proven workhorse for wedding photography. It is at the center of an ecosystem of lenses and Speedlites. Too many photographers still own EF lenses and DSLR cameras. Maybe in another 10 years they'll all be gone!
Many thanks for this video.. Need one suggestion!!! I have been using Nikon D5600 over last couple of years and was thinking to upgrade to Nikon D850. My most of photography is related wildlife captures. With this video, I feel my doubts about performance of mirrorless cameras are answered. Considering my requirement... Do you think I should go ahead with Nikon D850 or should buy any other mirrorless camera?? Which one do you recommend?? Thanks
Thanks for great content helping everyone to choose right model based on the information provided! BTW i have basic question any latest dslr camera has live view on lcd/led screen which is more equivalent to the mirrorless camera live view on screen then what will be difference if we keep view finder (optical/electronic) aside.
Hi, I thank you for your informational video posts. which mirrorless budget camera do you recommend to buy for both photo shot and social media videos? Regards,
Are you Team DSLR or Team Mirrorless? Let us know which and why in the comments!
I'm team DSLR 'cuz Mirroeless systems are not that better than DSLR's... DSLR's can be bought I guess for 2 more years, by then the Mirroeless systems' technology would've evoluted.

The extra weight of a DSLR can certainly be an advantage in certain shooting situations.
You explain so well that anobody that is a beginner photographer as me can understand. thanks.

Same, putting that screen in my eye drives me nuts for these situations. Had a few diffrent mirrorless cameras/brands went back to dslr
Shouldn't mirrorless be better for low light ?

This sets the standard for quality of content and depth of technical details needed in an explanation ! Very impressive !! Thanks a lot for the efforts !!
I'm Canon DSLR, but my experience with the Sony mirrorless were phenomenal. For video, it's hard to use anything but mirrorless on a small gimbal.
That is very true. Small gimbals like the early Zhiyun Cranes and even the smaller Ronin's from DJI are definitely more suited to a mirrorless camera.
@@OrmsTVAgreed! I prefer a sort of run-and-gun approach, especially on smaller, lower-budget shoots.
Thank you for the great video!

You answered all the questions I had and educated me at the same time. Thank you so much. 😎
Very well explained .... love it.
This is the first video I watched from you, and it was so good I subscribed right away.
Well, I'm still using my point and shoot contax tvs3 my mom gave me. I think I gonna try DSLR. I've tried my grandpa's SLR and I love it.

Absolutely outstanding. You taught me so much... and how both types of cameras may be good to owen.
Thanks for the feedback. Helped alot.
Been eyeing one for long. Waiting for lockdown to finsih
You are very welcome. Stay safe during lockdown and good luck with acquiring your new camera when it's lifted!
Been living with DSLR, but as of today I'm definitely hooked on the technology of Mirrorless plus the weight saving and live image settings are awesome. Video shoots will be a walk over. Definitely buy Mirrorless!
Glad this video could help you make up your mind as to which system will suit you best going forward!
what is best for macro
Bro I'm only seeing your comment now. I was thinking of buying a 250D DSLR as a beginner is it a good choice?
Bro thank you for this video, it's exactly what I was looking for. You explained everything very clearly. Thumbs up.
Great video. Very informative and easy to follow. About to buy my first mirrorless camera and this video made me feel a lot better about the purchase.
Thank you for such an extensive and impartial review and brilliant video .I will settle for one of each I think .. So well presented thanks again
You helped me make my choice. hahaha thanks partner! Great vid and explanation!
A canon adapter or speed booster and a Sigma lens would be epic on a Mirrorless, especially the sigma 16mm on a Canon M50
While I love the tech that is coming out for mirrorless, as it currently stands DSLR lenses are cheaper for the same quality, which is one of the reasons I went with a DSLR. Switching to mirrorless would mean trading my secondhand $700 tamron 70-200 f2.8 for the rf mount version from canon at $2800 used is just NOT happening. I know that Tamron and other 3rd party lens companies are moving into making mirrorless glass, so interested to see where things will go.
I also find DSLR's just felt better in my hands.
If I had infinite money, I would have my DSLR for things where I need a longer lens (action/wildlife/etc), and then have a mirrorless that I keep in my purse 24/7 for everything else. I admit that the DSLR is just kind of chonky for everyday carrying around, and a mirrorless would do just fine with a short little lens :)
This didn’t help me AT ALL! I’m even more torn! You explained everything, so well! I have a DSLR and I’m trying to upgrade. I thought my mind was made up but nope! 😂😂
Great video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
Get a mirrorless. Have both! I just got a mirrorless cannon m50 and it’s awesome. I still show my DSLR love with shooting with both.
I have found that Battery Rating and actual battery life is not close. On a recent outing I had my Sony A7r4 (with a battery that was a little over a year old) in weather that was -2 to 0 C. During this trip the first battery lasted for about 5.5 hours and 1100 shots. I took a lot of high burst rate shots with AF-C through the EFV which per guide is the most battery intensive action I could take outside of video. I have been out on full day trips (>12hrs) and have never used more than 2 batteries while taking thousands of shots. I think the Battery Ratings are just the manufactures just stating a number with no actual testing behind the value.
Extremely thorough and helpful video!
really goes into do you want to injoy the process of making that perfect picture or do you want a glorifide point and shoot camera?
Thankyou! At last a video that clearly explains the difference.
Outstanding video! Thank you and please them coming.
EXCELLENT presentation! I have no (zero) interest in video photography. My photo interests are traditional "capture the moment - in one frame". It does not go unnoticed that there are often references to video being a distinctive advantage with the mirrorless format. Your presentation helps a lot, particularly pursuing what's worth the investment.
what is the best for shooting art and making prints from art work ?
What is "art"? Paintings hanging on a wall? Sculpture? Outdoor murals? If you're shooting indoor 2D artwork, I think the camera that you choose isn't that important. Much more important are the lights that you use. But if you're starting from scratch, you might as well jump into the mirrorless camera/lenses world.
Which mirrorless entry to mid-level cameras do you suggest? I've had a DSLR for years but ready to make the switch!
Thank you for informative video!
I never owned any of the two but I would go for the DSLR cameras!
You are welcome! We're glad you found the video helpful.
Why?
Hi, out of mirrorless and dslr, which one of these gives the better sharp pictures?
Very good explanation @OrmsTV !!
Thank you
The background music is very cool, what song is it?
Thanks for the video. Great information and helpful in making my decision between a new dslr or trying a mirrorless.
Thank you for this awesome video! It is exactly what I was looking for.
Although I don't like the fact, that you have used images or footage of somebody else in your video, that's just lame.
Lots of great information, unfortunately the noise played in the background was loud, distracting & most annoying!
Please consider dropping it from your future videos.
Thank you for this video.. well appreciated...
I'm all onboard with Mirrorless camera bodies, because of the advancements in technology. However, I just want this mirrorless technology to be used with my beautiful F-mount lenses. I've yet to see any difference in photo quality between a mirrorless lens vs an F-Mount DSLR lens except for maybe the difference in sizes (physically). The Nikon D780 is Nikon's response to my petitions ( and many others), however, for me, a built-in flash is essential and 4k 60fps is needed in today's video market. I was out at night in a protest where there were no flashes, lights, etc, and the built in flash came in handy for those casual photos for when my flash unit was not readily available. Overall, I hope to see a Nikon D790 or beyond that will enfuse this new mirrorless technology firmly with the F-mount family, the D780 is def a step in the right direction. Great video. BTW, not sure if you have, but could you do a photo comparison between the D780 vs a another mirrorless camera body so as to see the photos side by side?, I would like to see the Nikon D780 use a F-mount lens vs a mirrorless lens on a mirrorless camera body made for that camera to see the diff in image quality. Thank you.
Very well said & done what an impressive explanation : Bravo 👏
Team DSLR here, but I'm grandfathered in. To anyone thinking of getting seriously into photography go mirrorless if you're OK investing in all new gear, have the money to spend and plan to travel. Mirrorless is smaller and lighter, great for moving around. Can you smell a ..
...but, if you're trying to get a good kit put together for a limited budget, DSLR is the way to go. Used bodies are a way to save money (but buy new if you can). Get one with shutter counts as low as possible and only buy from reputable re-sellers (make sure your Ebay seller is well established in photography gear). And used lenses are for sure the way to save bigly. The risk is much less than with bodies so generally speaking, getting burned on a used lens is extremely rare, but again, buy from reputable re-sellers.
And don't forget to factor in accessories into your budget. Memory cards, external flashes (all built in flashes are shit, don't use them), straps, bags, and no serious photographer doesn't own at least one good tripod.
Thank you for another great video and for sharing your knowledge with us always very helpful
I currently use a entry level dslr and hope in the future I can get myself a mirrorless camera
Am into video recording my lectures which is more reliable or what is your recommendation? Mirrorless canon ? O sony
You‘re super sympathetic. 🙏🏼
Whats the difference between mirrorless and like the small digital camera people had before phones, i had like faux dslr camera with a fixed lens but the viewfinder was just the digital display from 2008. ( i cant use this camera any more because the battery holder is broken so the batteries wont stay in the camera unless i was holding it tight all day.)
Good sharing and make me more understand about Mirorrless camera.
Thank you for the knowledge. I might get a mirrorless camera. 👍
It was a very enlightening video! Thanks for that. I'm dentist and I already have a nikon 3500 with my studio and macro lens 100mm to make procedures photos. But now I wanna make also videos. Can you indicate a good and not too expensive one to buy?
For now I shoot with DSLRs, preparing to venture into the mirrorless soon. Have been a canon shooter and partly haven't gone mirrorless coz canon hadn't produced a good offering and shifting brands is always stressful. Now that Canon has mirrorless bodies, its gonna be easy to go into that system without the stress of switching.
Canon stepping their mirrorless game up certainly has made it easier for those who want to stay within the Canon ecosystem.
Help, I don't know about photography but I'm going to join one. I'm a biginner what should I get Dslr or Mirrorless?
This was amazing. Thank you so much!
Very good presentation comparing dslr and mirrorless cameras as of 2020. I'm a highly knowledgeable and highly experienced camera and photography enthusiast of many years. I will soon own my first ever dslr, a nikon d750 which is the highest level of dslr camera I can presently afford. Mirrorless digital cameras are slowly beginning to win me over. Sony appears to be the best in this category, due to large research and development investment in this newer technology, which appears to be the future for digital cameras.
Excellent info. Thanks
Three years after this video posted and I continue to use my 35mm and 6x7 film cameras. Occasionally I'll use my dslr to confirm an exposure and composition for a film image. And all of my expensive glass, for my 35mm slrs, work without modification on my dslr. I just don't see the advantage of spending thousands of dollars on new technology that I'm not likely to take advantage of.
Very clear comparison & analysis
I'm looking into photography not videography/vlogging, currently using Eos3000d and planning to upgrade eos90d, is it good or should I go for mirror less
Hey I want to buy a camera and was confused which one to buy this might be tha best video available on yr for this topic..and a want a advice what mirrorless camera should I buy for photography?? Please try to give brief description..I mean there are lots of camera but which one should I buy (under 500 dollars) ?? Name atleast 3
Ps: thank you
I switched back to a DSLR after trying Sony and Fuji. Size doesn't matter when your lenses are big. I'm also not a videographer. Optical viewfinder all the way. I'm never going to look back.
Same mate sold my Sony A6400 and going back to my Canon 80D I want Battery life and Bulky feel in my hands while Getting any lens I want cheaper but Sony don't do that overpriced lenses and shit battery life
Despite owning DSLR's and Mirrorless systems .My favorite camera is 60 years old and a pleasure to shoot.
Very informative! Thank you for this great video. Cheers.

Mirrorless is an amazing jump forward. I look forward to seeing the all the talented photographer's putting this technology through its paces. Mirrorless would be my first choice. I'm loving the advanced auto focus advantages you will find in the mirrorless camera. And don't get me started on the high quality output options.
We agree! The mirrorless autofocus capabilities are a game-changer.
It’s not an amazing jump forward. That is just patently false. Horse drawn carriage vs 2020 Acura RDX A-spec is a huge jump forward. DSLR to mirrorless are just two modern ways to take a photo.
hello i have simple question as you see in my comment. im bigginer of photography i just want ask what i can buy if i want very good photos of sea,sunset,sunrise. i living in small island there is just sea around and very nice place & lof of waves also very quick change weather around 6 times each day lot of wind rain etc also fog and biggest raibows what i ever seen. i want capture it and make some good photos. thanks lot for reply. TG
sir i have a d5600 plan on switchingto a6400..im a newbie what advice can you give..should i stick to dslr to study or should i go with mirrorless..thanks!!
If I use a high end mirrorless body with my existing Canon (1Dx) EF lenses with an adapter would I loose image quality or usability e.g., fast auto focus, Vs mirrorless body with R mount lenses (of equivalent high end lenses)?
SUPERB INFORMATIVE VIDEO.
Hello guys, I need to start with photography journey shooting people sessions, what is your advice mirrorless or dslr?l cameras? Thank you
This video is so informative
Is it still worth investing in Canon EF lenses and will my current EF lenses perform the same or better on mirrorless. What is a good sport mirrorless camera at the moment of you want to upgrade from your 7d2 , now that there won’t be a 7d3
Very helpful thank you.
Thank you for sharing a carefully crafted and instructive video. Good coverage of the topic.
Very good info. Stop waving your hands.
Team Mirrorless - incredibly happy with my Sony Alpha 7 II
I currently only have DSLR however, having both mirrorless and DSLR will be great way to go for me. Both team mirrorless and team DSLR have own advantage, if you need to do a job that required to shoot whole day having DSLR will definitely be helpful but mirrorless would be easier to get exposure quicker. Lucky I didn't switch to mirrorless too early as technology of mirrorless will only get better and better.
And why ist the 5 D MK IV at around 2000 bucks used while the newer Canon EOS R is at 1300 Bucks used? The same with the Nikon D780 vs the Nikon Z 6. the D780 costs more than the Z6. What do u think is the reason for that? Thx
I would say because the 5D is a proven workhorse for wedding photography. It is at the center of an ecosystem of lenses and Speedlites. Too many photographers still own EF lenses and DSLR cameras. Maybe in another 10 years they'll all be gone!
Many thanks for this video.. Need one suggestion!!! I have been using Nikon D5600 over last couple of years and was thinking to upgrade to Nikon D850. My most of photography is related wildlife captures. With this video, I feel my doubts about performance of mirrorless cameras are answered.
Considering my requirement... Do you think I should go ahead with Nikon D850 or should buy any other mirrorless camera?? Which one do you recommend?? Thanks
Thanks for great content helping everyone to choose right model based on the information provided! BTW i have basic question any latest dslr camera has live view on lcd/led screen which is more equivalent to the mirrorless camera live view on screen then what will be difference if we keep view finder (optical/electronic) aside.
Hi, I thank you for your informational video posts. which mirrorless budget camera do you recommend to buy for both photo shot and social media videos? Regards,
Define budget
