You can truly preview the exposure and DOF of your images before you hit the shutter. ![]() The mirrorless design is still in evolution but it definitely has some advantages in terms of viewfinder WSIWG. I am thinking now that I will keep both systems as they have their relative strengths and weaknesses. When I first started using the Mirrorless cameras, I was so impressed that I thought I would sell all my Canon DSLR gear but, I’m glad I waited before I did that. (I did own the Fuji X-T1 but sold it as I didn’t care for the qulaity of the RAW files.) I do more landscape photography now but used to do a lot of event photography. I have a few full-frame Canon bodies (1Ds III, 5D III) and the Sony a7r. I am an amateur but do have extensive experience with both systems. It’s a tough comparative with no right or wrong answer IMO. ![]() Please leave a comment below with your thoughts. Which do you own and why do you prefer one particular format over the other. Using a good blower in the mirror chamber of your DSLR is often all that’s needed to keep things clean and dust free. That clunky mirror mechanism in DSLR cameras actually adds a lot of protection for your sensor because the sensor is not exposed to the elements as much as with mirrorless cameras.Įven if dust gets on the mirror of the DSLR, it’s easily shaken off during the super quick mechanical slap that happens when you take a picture. Sensor Cleaning Demands of MirrorlessĮver since I started using mirrorless cameras, I’ve had to get used to the fact that I need to clean those sensors way more often than with DSLR cameras. Right now the quality is kind of poor but I reckon in two or three years it’ll be excellent. When the quality of those EVF displays gets better, it’ll be the only way you’ll ever want to focus. On the plus side of the EVF, I really love the ability to punch in and magnify what the camera is seeing so that I can focus even in bright sunlight. If I want to do that with a mirrorless camera, it has to be switched on and using that feeble battery. With DSLR I can switch off my camera and still keep looking through the viewfinder to judge the right time to start shooting. As an outdoor photography there are often times when I compose a shot and then I have to wait for the light to change. One of the things I love about DSLR is the optical viewfinder. I specifically didn’t add this to the Pros and Cons list because this is something of a personal preference and both formats have their good points. ![]() Optical View Finder vs Electronic View Finder Less native lens choices so extra money needs to be spent on adapters.Smaller gear makes you look less intimidating.Big gear can make you look intimidating for travel and street shooting.Mirror needs locking up if you want ultra sharpness.Mirror mechanism adds protection for sensor so less cleaning is required.Bigger batteries give longer battery life.
