The DSLR is obsolete? Oh.

Don't you just love the idea of getting dress with a onesie for a board meeting. That's the trend in thinking with the current generation.

Hey! I would love to wear my kigurumi when travelling by air.

Why is it that from anyone else I would think they are joking but in this case I'm not sure?

I'm not joking. It would be supremely comfy but I was flying to Singapore and a kigurumi would prove highly impractical upon landing.

Here's my friend wearing my Kigurumi.

we really didn't want a picture of any kind.

actually the "no mirror" part is what is so appealing to me. I think the X-mount is currently the closest flange distance in APS-C/35mm. For me this is much more important than compactness.

@nerwin I agree with others. Just shoot with what you have and save up to buy a used mirrorless at some point. Mirrorless depreciate pretty quickly so it's pretty easy to get into a system for a few hundred bucks. Whatever system is gathering dust, whatever system you stop getting excited for whenever new exclusive glass is announced - that's the system to abandon; the one you don't use.

But I don't think you need to worry about either technology going anywhere any time soon, and for the foreseeable future either will be a fine investment.

true, when you realize the reflex mirror is unnecessary and "pancake" lens are lighter, smaller and easier to carry around the future is obvious

This will anger you to no end then, they're making miniature lenses (microscopic) I forget the name that will put high quality lenses on smart phones. Otherwise smartphones are approaching 20MP and I just bought a DSLR!

I would still rather have less megapixels and a big sensor. Bigger pixels = better image quality, especially in low light.

The Lumina 1020 was 41 megapixel released in 2013

Let see, which will inherently produce better quality photos a 36X24mm sensor or a 4.54X3.42mm sensor. Think I will keep my DSLR's a little while longer

Yup, I remember that. I think 41 megapixels was a big extreme for a phone. Even phones with 20mp will look okay when zoom out but when you zoom in, you can see the effects of small sensor. My dad just bought the Galaxy S7 which has 12 megapixels which is less than the S6 which had 16mp but on the S7 they kept the same sensor size but decreased the pixels and made them bigger. Bigger pixels will always win in my opinion.

That's why the D700 is still pretty good today! and that came out what? 8 years ago?

Yes, I was just replying to TheLibrarian as cell phones have eclipsed the 20mp a few years ago, not just "approaching it today".

I remember getting a phone many years ago with 3mp sensor and I thought that was awesome! A 3mp camera in a phone?! haha.

I remember reading stories of people getting billboard size prints from the D1.
