I bought my latest DSLR after a long hard thought so I am just sharing my thoughts with you and maybe someone will find this helpful
Been watching more and more reviews lately on mirroless cameras and it really looks like they are closing the gap fast with DSLR.
What attracts me to mirrorless cameras ?
1.Design, their design is (to me) much cooler then DSLR, Fuji, Oli and Panasonic really make them look like old classic SLR.
2.Mirrorless is the future so I will need to make the jump sooner or later
3. They are small
What I don't like about mirrorless ?
1.They are small
2.Most have small sensors
3.AF in most is still not as good as DSLR
Why am I worrying myself about mirrorless just when I bought a new DSLR ?
My main problem is my glass, I love the lenses I own and I am afraid when Nikon will come out with a good serious mirrorless camera to replace its DSLR line of cameras they will probably design a new lines of lens and the value of my lenses will drop like a rock, thus buying a new system will cost me a fortune.
Today I can say I love full frame I cant see myself going to the tiny MFT and even Fuji wonderful crop sensor cameras are not enough for my needs.
I heard too many times MFT and crop sensor is good enough.
Well I just came from a very good crop sensor camera and I agree it was good enough but I am not interested in good enough, I want a beast in low light.
I find myself too many times shooting at f2.8 (and even f1.8) 12800ISO and frankly if I could go higher and still have good results I would.
So my only option is Sony A7 with its FF sensor.
A7 is a great camera but like everything has few drawback which for me is unacceptable.
Main issue is their poor lack of fast lenses, I want......no I need 24-70mm 2.8 and 70-200mm 2.8
f4 is unacceptable for me!
Prime lenses is nice but not for me either, I use them only in extreme low light cases when my f2.8 zoom lenses are too slow.
There are other few things which I am not crazy about the A7 but honestly I might be willing to accept them if I had the lenses I need.
So for me and the emphasis is for me there is still not what I want and need to in mirrorless, I know I will have a problem in the future but alas I have no options that I can see.
