Why does Zhihu recommend a micro-single?

1, reserve price

Between the entry-level SLR with similar performance and the micro-single, the cost of the micro-single is lower, so the price of the fuselage is usually lower than that of the entry-level SLR of the same grade.

2, small size

Due to the cancellation of the mirror assembly, the volume of the micro-single fuselage is much smaller than that of the SLR fuselage with similar performance of the same grade. However, in terms of sensor performance, micro-single and SLR are the same.

3, good performance

The micro-single is compact, light and beautiful, and has complete basic manual functions. High-end micro-sheets can meet the requirements of quasi-professional photography. 20 13, Olympus E-P5, Panasonic GX7 and other new micro-single, shutter speed ISO 100, 1/8000, the performance is gradually close to SLR.

4, rich in modeling

Micro-single modeling and diverse styles. Sony micro-single features modern modeling, Olympus and Fuji micro-single features retro camera appearance, and Panasonic still introduces micro-single cameras with SLR modeling. Various shapes meet the needs of different groups of people.

5, the lens selection space is large.

The micro-single lens has a large choice space. Because the flange distance of the micro-single becomes smaller, a large number of old lenses can be regenerated through the adapter ring.

In terms of lens price, high-end micro single lens is generally cheaper than high-end SLR lens. ?

Extended data:

Micro-single is suitable for home, travel and quasi-professional photography, and has a tendency to gradually replace entry-level SLR.

Principle of micro-single technology:

The "micro-single" camera uses sensors with the same specifications as the SLR camera, eliminates the optical viewfinder component on the SLR camera, and has no prism and reflector structure, which greatly shortens the distance from the lens bayonet to the photosensitive element. Therefore, it can obtain a smaller body than a SLR camera and ensure the same image quality as a SLR camera.
