Who said the DSLR is dead?? (NSFW)

Go to last post
Just wait until Nikon enters the mirrorless arena...

Gone is the heavy pentaprism...

Gone is the flapping mirror...

Gone is the unreliable focus module, needing adjustment now an then...

Then the DSLRs are dead.

Still understand the DSLR affectionionados fearing the days of glory slipping away...

Blah, blah,blah in the late 90’s they said the gasoline engine was soon going to disappear because of the electric car WAS HERE well here we are 20 years later with a muscle car war all over again like in the late 60’s... You really should stop smoking that stuff your confusing fantasy and reality

The thread title clearly stated "NSFW".

If those images - which appear to be within Forum guidelines - offend you, maybe just avoid reading such posts...?
 
Well, I can see a Mirrorless D? coming down the road someday, but Nikon won't get rid of mirrors as long as there is a Pro market, they will be the dead last to switch, I figure at least a few more generations of the mirrored cameras.

And as I see third party lens manufacturers also think that DSLRs will live long. Cause there are almost no mirrorless lenses from them but new lenses for DSLRs are announced and some are rumored.

Once a decent lens, with good elements and well built, is on, the pentaprism is a minor weight. By decent lens / weight I do not mean telephoto. Just means decent lens.

Yes, that is an advantage to have it gone. Fair. Less moving parts, less to go wrong vs solid state.

I have a D4 and D610, no issues focusing at all, focusing either. Not sure why some do have issues.

Only if the manufacturers stop making them.

For cost reasons, they will, as EVFs become cheaper.

Nothing to do with glory days, times change. Most interested in ML and not yet purchased and using Nikon and Canon DSLR's were just waiting for their brand to start making them.

Nikon make a substantially better camera than Sony.

Much better weather sealing for example, which is critical to many.

In the meantime, the DSLR's will do fine and will be used even when ML are released, until they wear out.

And even when ML come out, many will be hunting used DSLR's which still work great, such as used D4's , D80OE's, D810's.

I have no intention of getting rid of my D4. Got it recently for a third of original retail price.

Will still be a better camera than a USD3,000 ML, even a Nikon one.

Because it was better made in the first place.

I wouldn't bank on pros being the last to switch.

Once Nikon and Canon have fully gripped pro bodies they will make sure to get them into the hands hands of profession photographers, especially sports photogs that can make use of a camera with 20 fps with no mirror black out and autofocus points over the whole frame.

Pro sports photographers pretty quickly adopted the EOS film cameras. Fast autofocus combined with high frame rate was a blessing for them.

I expect them to do the same once Nikon and Canon release a fast pro mirrorless bodies. If the bodies focus well enough with existing lenses and an adapter there won't be much reason to stay with the DSLR. New lenses for the new mirrorless bodies will also be released too.

With less moving parts the bodies would really be more rugged and reliable too.

I would think that until the day comes where Nikon's still yet unreleased mirror-less cameras outsell the beloved DSLR there's no chance in hell you'll see a Pro body mirror-less from Nikon or any other camera maker,

Even though the current f-mount owner MUST use and adapter to enter the mirror-less realm it'll be quite a while before Nikon offers enough Z-mount lenses before they'll consider making a Pro body mirror-less and before Pro's would consider using them without native mount lenses, Nikon's mirror-less will be at the enthusiast level so quite a long time....

Since glamour/bridal/fashion photography is a mainstay in professional photography, this is exactly the place to view and or discuss such photos in the context of how s/he might be using a particular camera/lens selection, etc..

As far as just posting photographs just to post them, I'm sure there's a forum just for that elsewhere on this site.
