Canon stopped producing SLR cameras and fully developed mirrorless cameras. Which one is better?

There is no saying that Internet transmission stops producing SLR. The emergence of micro-orders gives consumers more choices, not to mention that users who buy and use SLR are still a large group, and manufacturers cannot smash their own pots. As for the production or not, the manufacturer will never disclose it. This kind of information is top secret and can't be as casual as it is uploaded on the internet.

Canon has not officially announced the discontinuation of SLR cameras. Their president only said that the development and production of flagship SLR cameras would be phased out in a few years. As for the mid-range products, he did not explicitly say that he would stop production. However, SLR cameras do face the possibility of being eliminated. From the major camera manufacturers, it can be seen that mirrorless cameras are the profit growth point of future imaging equipment and the field where manufacturers can make money. For manufacturers, the value of SLR has been squeezed to a high level, and its use value is not great. It is only a matter of time before the SLR stops completely.

At this point in time, if you are a photographer and want to into the pit, it is obviously unnecessary to choose a SLR, because the SLR has not been played for a long time, and there will be no updated products for the body and lens in the future, unless you like to play second-hand.

So, how to choose a mirrorless camera now?

Today, after several years of development of mirrorless cameras, the non-inverting models of various camera brands in Quan Huafu have a preliminary framework. We can analyze them one by one to find out what kind of aircraft you need.

Sony First, let's take a look at Sony.

Sony is the first manufacturer to make no-reaction efforts, and it is a manufacturer that completely abandons SLR and focuses on anti-reaction. They called their mirrorless camera "micro-single", which, like WALKMAN, became synonymous with mirrorless camera. Sony is a rising star in the camera industry. After the acquisition of Minolta, it began to exert its strength in the camera field. Previously, Sony mostly made consumer-grade cameras and camcorders, and its professional equipment was mostly broadcast-grade imaging equipment. In fact, the foundation of interchangeable lens cameras is not solid. After the acquisition of Minolta and the cooperation with Zeiss, there is great room for development in the camera field. Sony's own innovative spirit is still in place in the camera field. It directly abandoned the SLR and turned to produce an all-electronic interchangeable lens camera system. It achieved the counterattack by its own efforts, and it took several years to finish the SLR camera.

Sony is the earliest manufacturer of mirrorless cameras in Quan Huafu and the first brand to establish a mirrorless camera system. Now it can be said that Sony has a relatively mature foundation in the field of non-reversal. The overall product line is clear, the lens system is basically established and the models are relatively mature. There are even supporting sub-factories to produce more cost-effective lenses and accessories for Sony. If there is no lens burden of other brands, if you just choose a mirrorless camera, you can directly consider Sony.

Sony's mirrorless camera system is relatively mature. According to the following series, you can easily find the model you need:

1, APSC format micro-single. Sony α6xxx series is a micro-single series in APSC format, which was divided into different levels before, but now it basically doesn't need to distinguish the order, and it has become α6xxx model, and the latest one is α6600. The performance of α6xxx series is the same as that of Quan Huafu, but the cmos is a little smaller and very easy to use. If there is no demand from Quan Huafu, or mainly shooting videos, this series is completely competent, and it has a very cost-effective auxiliary lens, which is typical of one horse and three musketeers.

2. The launch of Quan Huafu Micro-single. α7 series is Sony's entry-level Quan Huafu micro-single, that is, the basic Quan Huafu non-reverse model. It's entry-level, but the performance is not entry-level at all, except that some hardware has shrunk in some irrelevant places, such as display screen and electronic evf, and its main functions are very strong. Whether it's ultra-fast smart focusing or fuselage anti-shake, whether it's ultra-high-definition video or high-speed continuous shooting, the basic α7 has a good performance and can be a professional. At present, the latest generation of α7 has reached the fourth generation, namely α7 mark iv, which is very worthy of the choice of ordinary photographers.

3, high quality Quan Huafu micro single. α7R series is Sony's high-quality Quan Huafu micro-single product sequence. This series not only has the performance of the basic version, but also has super high pixels, which has won the love of professional photographers for its specialty of shooting high-quality pictures. This series of machines is very suitable for tent shooting, scenery and other photographic subjects. If you have strict requirements on image quality, you can choose R series.

4, video to full-size micro-single. α7S series is a Quan Huafu micro-single product line created by Sony, which is biased towards video creators. This series of products has strong video creation performance, and some professional video parameters have been transferred from Sony professional cameras to this series of models. This series is very suitable if most of the work is used to shoot videos.

6, the flagship full-size micro-single. α 1 series is Sony's real flagship micro camera. This machine has all the advantages of the series, high image quality, high video performance and high speed. It is basically an all-round player.

Canon Canon is the manufacturer of mirrorless cameras layout, Quan Huafu, it's late, everyone should understand, because the SLR is doing too well, and the layout is not reversed prematurely, which will lead to self-competition in the internal product line. Before squeezing the profit of SLR cameras, Canon still slowed down and steadied its pace according to its consistent style. Originally, I thought that Canon's slow response would admit defeat in the field of non-reversal, but in fact, this manufacturer who knows how to operate has never stopped. Canon easily built Quan Huafu mirrorless cameras through its abundant technical reserves, but once it was launched, it firmly locked the photographer who originally wanted to change doors and moved back to many new users with a strong marketing style and a series of combination boxing methods, such as testing the water, testing at a low price, keeping the camera suspense and balancing the models. It's really a photographic equipment, Liu Laoliu.

Canon, after all, started a little late in anti-reverse, and now it is a special case. At present, Canon has many camera product lines, and at the same time has three kinds of lens mount: EF mount SLR camera, EF-M mount APSC format mirrorless cameras, and Quan Huafu RF mount mirrorless cameras. These three cameras have also brought some confusion to consumers, but Canon has recently made its position clear through the media. SLR will basically stop R&D and production, and the RF card port mode will unify Canon's internal rivers and lakes. As for the M bayonet, I don't even mention it. The high probability is to give up directly.

So what is Canon's mirrorless camera system?

1, entry-level full width. EOS RP is canon's basic entry-level non-inverting model. This model is much lower in workmanship and function than Bisogni's α7 series, but its advantages are cheap, friendly in price, good in straight-out image quality, strong in high sensitivity, weak in materials, high-speed continuous shooting, video, battery life and so on. But if it's a user who specializes in taking pictures (no need to take pictures of sports photography), it's fine, cheap and easy to use. It is said that Canon's second-generation RP is under development. Let's see what new improvements will be made.

2. The middle end is not reversed. EOS R, EOS R6 and EOS R5 support Canon's full-frame sequence. These models have their own selling points, not to mention R. It is a test product, and there may be no follow-up afterwards. R6 corresponds to the original SLR 6d series, which is a balanced barrel machine that is very suitable for ordinary photographers. It takes both photos and videos into consideration, with reliable focusing and excellent battery life. The only thing is that the material is a little worse, but it is much cheaper than R5. R5 continues the style of the original SLR 5D series and belongs to the sub-flagship level. The picture quality is higher than R6, the performance is more comprehensive, and the material of the work is more solid, which is suitable for commercial photography.

3. There is no reverse gear at high speed. Canon has launched a mirrorless camera of EOS R3, aiming at the 1D series in SLR, which is very suitable for high-speed movement, reliable body, strong endurance, fast continuous shooting, solid focus, waterproof and dustproof ... similar to Sony α9, but the model adopts the wide 1D series.

4, the flagship does not fall. It is said that Canon is developing the flagship model of R 1, but it is not known whether it has been completed or how powerful its performance is.

For ordinary photographers, if you have money, you can choose R5, and if you don't have much budget, you can choose R6. They are all models that will not be out of date for several years and work normally.

Nikon Nikon has been tired in the late SLR era, but the recently launched non-reverse model has revived again. In fact, Nikon's positioning division of non-objection is quite similar to that of the first two companies. Japanese companies generally do this, regularly benchmarking and orderly competition.

1, APSC frame has no inversion. Nikon is not behind in the planning of half-machines, and has also introduced very distinctive retro models. ZFC is an APSC model with high value. It seems that Nikon is going to make a fuss about retro styling. Half a machine may also be a way out. The non-retro design is Z50, which is similar to the full-width non-reverse design.

2. The entrance is full. Z5 is Nikon's entry-level Quan Huafu mirrorless cameras. This series relies on high cost performance to gain customers' attention. It is similar to Canon's RP positioning, but slightly more conscientious than RP, with a slightly higher configuration, at least the fuselage is anti-shake.

3. The middle end is not reversed. Z6 and Z7 series are Nikon's mid-range main models, and now they have reached the second generation. They are similar to the positioning of Canon R6 and R5. It is not recommended to choose the first generation model. If you choose the second-generation model, you must upgrade, because the first-generation Fox is really not so good.

4. There is no reverse gear at high speed. Sports full-width machine, Nikon introduced Z9, which attracted great attention in the industry. Its comprehensive performance and solid and reliable quality make Nikon powder regain its confidence in Nikon.

As for whether there is a higher-end flagship model, according to the routines of the other two companies, Nikon should also have an ultra-high standard flagship model Z 1.

The above is a brief introduction to the antireflection coating systems of three mainstream camera brands. Generally, photographers choose cameras that are entry-level and intermediate, so they can choose according to their own needs, not for too professional purposes, such as sports and commercial advertising photography. These machines can meet the demand well, without being too entangled.

Canon has nothing to say.

First of all, people say that the flagship SLR can't go out. However, the intermediate and entry-level SLR is a sharp weapon for cutting leeks, and it is impossible to completely abandon it. Can only be phased out. How many years has this been gradual? A few months? How many days? No one can say for sure.

Secondly, Canon doesn't have a reflective system now, and both the body and the lens are extremely expensive. In addition to users who really need it, most of the people who enter Canon's unresponsive system are sand sculptures cut with leeks. ! Therefore, it is natural for manufacturers to firmly grasp these stupid and rich leeks and cut them hard. It is inevitable to maintain high prices.

Third, the current global chip production capacity is insufficient. Whether Canon can make R 1 level, or whether it can make enough body lenses for users to lower the price, is unknown. So a statement is a statement. Away from reality.

Single-line combat is better than double-line combat, so there is no need to invest more energy in developing SLR.

R 1 is the representative of top machines, technologies and images, and its symbolic significance is greater than the significance of creating benefits, that is to say, the technology is advanced, the industry is the first and the price is extremely high.

R3, a transitional product, was quickly forgotten by the market.

R5, including upgraded products, main force, absolute market sales main force, market share and flagship products that create economic benefits.
