We need to talk about something, something that is usually glossed over when people talk about switching to mirrorless and using DSLR lenses. The performance is simply not great, it is usable sure, but you simply can’t get the performance out of them that you are used to on your DSLR, nor that you could enjoy if you used native mirrorless lenses.
There is a reason for this, and the reason is likely a lot different than you are thinking it is. . thephoblographer.com
Mirrorless or DSLR? That is the question. It’s a great time to be a photographer considering a new camera purchase. Whether it’s your first camera or twenty-first, there have never been more options available for features, price, and capabilities. petapixel.com »

Ever since Canon and Nikon debuted their latest lens mounts, there’s been a lot of talk about the “optical advantages” of the shallower, wider Z and RF-mounts. Canon even released a video more-or-less shaming their own EF lenses by comparison. petapixel.com »

The early 2010s were the golden age of compact cameras. Many of us stopped calling them point and shoots and instead called them things like serious compacts, fixed lens cameras, or compact cameras.
This past week, the PetaPixel team came across an opinion on another photography blog that we didn't think was fair. In short, it argued that all "small sensor cameras suck," which is just not true. [Read More]
In many of our camera reviews over the years, we've noticed a trend: small sensor cameras are really starting to suck. A good camera does the job you need. But a good camera is also one that you can use repeatedly yet never loses its intrigue.
