It is almost 2024, is the DSLR still worth starting?

As early as ten years ago, there was a saying that "micro-order is the future". It will be 2024 soon. Does the SLR still have an advantage? Is it still worth starting?

At present, "Royal Sanjia" has basically focused its research and development on the micro-single, so it goes without saying that Sony itself is a pioneer in the micro-single field, and Canon and Nikon have stopped developing new SLR models.

Other brands such as Panasonic and Fuji have also enjoyed the benefits of the micro-single era to a certain extent.

Some high-end brands have a tendency to transition to micro-single, while others occasionally launch retro-feeling SLR models.

In fact, the SLR has not completely lost its advantage at present, and it is still a reasonable choice for both professional photographers and ordinary photography enthusiasts.

Comparison of the respective advantages of single reflex and micro single

First of all, let's compare the respective advantages of DSLR and micro-single:

1. At present, the price of the same grade SLR is cheaper than the micro SLR, and the price of many second-hand SLR is very affordable. You can get a comfortable full-frame fuselage for as little as a few thousand.

If the budget is insufficient, second-hand SLR is a good choice, if the quality is all right, it is not a big problem to use five or six years as an ordinary photographer.

two。 In terms of basic photo shooting, there is little difference between the same level of micro-single and SLR shooting, but the advantage of micro-single lies in its video shooting. Some micro-single models mainly focus on video shooting. Picture quality, anti-shake, focus and other aspects are more professional, of course, the camera function of the high-end flagship SLR is not bad, it may be a bit bulky.

Therefore, if there is not much demand for cameras, we can still consider purchasing a SLR at present.

3. The lens group lens is an important factor affecting the choice of many people.

SLR and micro-single lens can not be universal, micro-single can use the SLR lens through the transfer ring, but the focus efficiency will be reduced, the operation will be more troublesome, and the compact and convenient characteristics of micro-single will be weakened.

Therefore, if you want to switch from SLR to Weidan, it is not only as simple as changing the fuselage, but also likely to update some lenses, which is why many novice rookies are recommended to choose Weidan directly.

If you are an old DSLR user and already have a lot of shots, you need to think about it. After all, there are still SLR models on sale.

4. The appearance of the microsheet is more compact and convenient, and it is much lighter, which is also one of its advantages. People who often go out to shoot know that even if the fuselage plus the lens is only a few hundred grams lighter, it will feel comfortable when shooting.

But from another point of view, many photographers are still used to using DSLRs, not because DSLRs are more efficient and have better shooting results, but because many customers only recognize DSLRs. Large models and long lenses represent expertise to some laymen.

To sum up, if you are a novice rookie or a player who is not short of money, and those who need video shooting, it is more recommended to get a micro order.

On the other hand, people who do not have an adequate budget, have no demand for cameras, and simply take photography as their hobby to record their daily life, as well as old SLR users, can consider DSLRs and then transition to micro-SLR.
