👍In today’s video I am going to try to answer a photography question that gets asked all the time. Which camera system is better? DSLR cameras or Mirrorless cameras. The truth is that both of these systems are more similar than people think. However, there are some very important differences that can make one camera system better than the other depending on what you want to use it for. In this video, I am going to give you a different perspective. I am going to give you my recommendation from a professional photographers point of view. The reason I’m doing this is because the features that are important to an enthusiast may not be as important to a professional photographer. So let’s dive into the differences between the two systems and see how it affects your photography. Hopefully, by the end of this video you’re going to know exactly what type of camera you need because we’re going to go through each component and discuss the differences that can make one system better than the other. I am making this video so that hopefully it’s something that will help you make an informed decision when trying to decide which type of camera you need. I am also interested to know if you agree with the opinions I present in this video.

The reason I jumped to a mirrorless camera for headshots was to allow me to direct my subjects without having to bring the camera to my eye, as I've found that people's fleeting postures and expressions can go away or stiffen by the time I do. So with the brilliant eye autofocus of my Nikon Z8 I can put it on a tripod, interact freely with my subject, and hit the remote when I see something I love. I never thought I'd replace my D850, and still prefer the files from that camera, but the new system has been great and worked as I had hoped it would.

I am an amateur with a small online shop. When I first started, I had no idea how to take pictures for products, especially on a white background and I had no money to invest in cameras lenses, and lights....Now, I am a bit more experienced, I do have many studio lights, software, and studio devices, but for some reason, my old starter camera (a very simple Nikon, d3300), which was entry-level at that time, is still serving me well. I took almost 100k pictures with it. I have a few Nikorr lenses and I was waiting to buy a new camera. But because a few years ago mirrorless systems were not that good, I decided to just wait and see. Now I am still undecided. Also, I do not plan to pay more than 1.5 k Euro for a body camera. My small online business is not that demanding and the pictures I am making a good enough. I think that we must not always aim for the top of the lines, but instead buy something that is good enough for the job, not very expensive, and most of all reliable. My poor Nikon was never repaired, I just cleaned it a few times and this is it. Also, I see that phone cameras are better and better, and considering the job I need to do I do not think that I will even need an expensive camera. I also do not like small cameras. I used to have all kinds of Fuji, Olympus, and Panasonic....so, I prefer a medium size camera that fits well in my hand. Thank you for your video.

Hi Dan thanks for the great video. Hey I've got a question for you. When I take a picture of my face directly with my phone camera I feel it's not the same as when I see myself in the mirror. But when I take a picture of my reflection of a mirror with the same camera I look a lot better. So my question to you is: Since DSLR takes pictures reflected onto its internal mirror do faces look better versus a mirrorless camera?
@DanCantero25 күн бұрын
Hey! Great question. Actually there’s no difference between the images from a dslr and a mirrorless camera n that respect. Most phone cameras are a wide angle camera and not flattering when used close to the face. What you’re seeing is probably a small barreling effect caused by the lens.

Just to add to that. The reason it looks better when you shoot into a mirror is because you are essentially doubling the distance from the camera to your face. This is why it looks better. Hope that helps.

I just bought another 5D MKII. I bought my first one last year. I had the budget to buy the R5, but didn't need all of that technology, or video capabilities. The only advantage mirrorless has over DSLR, is the great focusing system. That is the one thing a DSLR lacks, but there are ways around this limitation.

Spot on. I still have my 5D mk II and use it regularly.

@@DanCantero I really like your opinion on most professionals don't upgrade their gear all the time . I think the 5D Mark II takes just as good of a picture as any Camera today. Plus you can't replace that DSLR viewfinder! I've been taking pictures since the 1980s so I'm not one of these people that needs everything electronic.

Dynamic range is dramatically improved with the r5, lens performance is also on another level the time for dslrs is over period.
