Re: SLT or DSLR?

In reply to Kim Flowers, 3 months ago

There's only one reason why I ditched SLRs - 'mirror bang' or 'mirror slap'.

Being a big fan of continuous and bracketted shots, a camera that doesn't come with that clunky body-shaking contraption of a hinged mirror is a godsend.

Only SLT or EVIL for me please, thank you. Let my grandfather have that brand new SLR.
