Semi Pro Mirrorless Cameras Camera Decision

Perfect for iPhone Pro and mirrorless camera.

I made the decision to go with this DSLR instead of a mirrorless R5. Mainly this was due to the existing investment in lenses I have, the rugged build quality, and the versatility of this camera. Of course I could get the adapter and was intrigued by mirrorless, but this camera is a different class than I was in (5D mk ii). That eventually fell apart after 11 years and did border on letting me down in Patagonia. I knew build quality was an important aspect. Autofocus and other pro camera specialties were also important. So far it's been great. Have yet to really let it rip in the field but will soon. Happy with this purchase in 2024 (despite wireless but with GPS).

Being recently retired, I find myself traveling more and more. My main camera is a nikon D90, however, it is way too heavy to carry all the time. I've been looking at mirrorless cameras for awhile and finally made the decision to purchase the Sony a6000. What a great decision! The a6000 lives up to it's reviews. Easy to use and beautiful photos. For the price you can't go wrong with this mirrorless gem.

The Gorillapod 3k pro kit is perfect for owners of high-end mirrorless cameras on the go. It is lightweight and the legs can be bent in all types of positions. attach it to a pole or place it on a table, this tripod has got you covered.

This simple interface adds Pro Quality Audio to DSLR or Mirrorless Cameras. Highly Recommended.

It's an excellent long life power source for any pro or semi pro video camera.

I have been using Nikon cameras since 1988. I've owned all levels of models, from professional to consumer, DLSR/film SLR to point-and-shoot and action. I work full-time as a photographer. I was saving for the Z7 to replace my D810, and then came to the decision that the cost for the modest increase in resolution was not cost-effective, so instead opted for the Z6 to replace my aging D600. In short, this is one of the best cameras I've ever used. Having dallied with mirrorless from Sony and Fuji, I thought I knew what was coming, but was very much surprised by the DSLR like feel, the responsiveness, and quality of images. The single card slot is a non-issue - with WIFI and tethering I never need to remove the card anyway - it's like having permanently installed memory. The batteries from all my other cameras work in the Z6, and with the new battery you can charge in the camera. The menu system is familiar and somehow easier to use. I've never set up the MyMenu before, but it seemed natural with this camera. Focus is dead on, the 24-70 f4 is an outstanding lens, and I'll repeat: best camera decision I've ever made. Now I start saving for the eventual D810 replacement when they come out with the 60mp version.

All my vehicles have front and rear cameras. Having the rear camera on my first vehicle clearly showed that I was in my lane when the semi crossed into my lane and totaled my car! The responding Trooper was happy that I had video instantly available.

Fujifilm is taking mirrorless cameras to new levels. Other camera manufacturers will be catching up for years.
