Bloomberg hints at DSLR coffin being nailed

Surely the whole idea is to come up with a term that differentiates mirrorless cameras from these? I dunno, I think perhaps the point is to emphasize that they have a lot more in common with DSLRs and Leica rangefinders than they do with P&Ss. My whole time in photography we've used "SLR" to mean "serious camera", basically, SLR seems to be the winner still g. It doesn't have to make sense, just be popular in articles. and just quietly accepted that an M4 was a serious camera even though it wasn't an SLR. And that sheet-film cameras were too, but most people didn't even know they existed. "Serious camera" is no good, it's a value judgment, and people will game it badly. But ILC isn't too bad an alternative. The difference in "seriousness" (subjectively, as viewed by me) between an Olympus EPL-2 and a Nikon D3100 is smaller than that between the D3100 and a D3. Of course, that does let the Pentax Q system sneak in, and it shouldn't :-) . |
