Take a look in the mirror

Everyone’s going mirrorless these days. If you’re still shooting DSLR, you’re living in the dark ages. That’s what everyone is telling us. Seems like nobody wants to talk about anything but who’s shooting what brand of mirrorless camera. And companies are cranking out upgrades and new versions so fast even if you purchased the latest model last month you’re probably already out of date and lost money on your investment. I’m not pointing fingers because I fallen victim myself.

It’s hard to believe that just a few short years ago mirrorless was so much vaporware. Still just a gleam in every camera designer’s eye. And it’s not just the cameras, there’s all the new lenses to go with them.Canon, Sony and Nikon each coming out with something new seems like every day.

The fact of the matter is that something new is always coming out. New car, new boat, new home... Sooner or later we all decide if the change is worth it. As with all these decisions you’re the only on that knows what’s right for you.

As for me, like I said, for better or worse, I’ve already started down the mirrorless highway.Was it worth it? Is my photography significantly better than it was before? Maybe...Maybe not.As with most decisions we make, the real answer only comes with time.

So if I don’t have any answers what’s the real reason for this post?Therapy... Mine and maybe yours. Take a look in the mirror.

Feel free to chime in.Ed
