As we begin 2021, it has been a full 13 years since the release of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1, almost eight years since the full-frame Sony Alpha a7 was introduced, and more than two years since Canon and Nikon announced their full-frame mirrorless cameras. In other words, there has been plenty of time to read the writing on the wall (as well as the sales figures), which clearly states that mirrorless interchangeable-lens cameras are becoming more popular every year and are the developmental focus of most camera companies, compared to their DSLR stablemates. If one needs further convincing of this trajectory, the Sony Alpha 1 just became the first mirrorless camera labeled as a brand’s “flagship.”
Before some of you get upset with me for noting that camera technologies evolve, allow me to mention that while I own and use a mirrorless camera, I still shoot primarily with DSLRs, and there are reasons a DSLR makes sense for some photographers. However, I am not the future of the camera market nor am I overly concerned with using the latest/greatest cameras; I equally appreciate the current counter-trend—film’s re-emergence and the embrace of 35mm photography.
