Are you going to buy a camera, should you choose a SLR or a micro-single?

The cameras we are talking about now all refer to digital cameras, which are generally divided into SLR cameras, micro-cameras and card cameras.

Because card cameras are small in size, they are far behind SLR cameras and micro-cameras in performance and function, and because of the increasingly powerful photographing function of mobile phones, a better mobile phone can basically replace the photographing function of card cameras. Therefore, there is basically no need to buy a card camera now that everyone has a mobile phone.

Those friends who are interested in photography need to choose between SLR cameras and micro-cameras when buying cameras. How to choose and what factors should be considered?

judging from the development trend of cameras, these years are currently in the transition period from SLR to nonreciprocal (that is, what we call micro-single). That is to say, from the development trend, mirrorless cameras will definitely replace SLR cameras.

The mirrorless cameras mentioned above is the opposite of Singleton, which is what we call Micro Singleton. Micro-camera is the common name of mirrorless cameras, which contains two meanings: micro, micro and compact; A camera with the same image quality as a SLR, that is, a camera with smaller volume and weight and SLR image quality, is called a micro-single camera.

The volume and weight of a micro camera are between a card-type digital camera and a SLR camera. Both SLR and micro-single can change lenses.

From the current price, the price of SLR is slightly higher than that of micro-single, but the price of micro-single lens is slightly higher than that of SLR lens.

therefore, it's really hard to say which price is higher or lower, SLR and micro-single. It can only be said that overall, the price of SLR will be slightly higher.

therefore, the main factor that may be considered when choosing a SLR or a micro-single is not the price, but other factors.

The first question to ask should be "What are you going to do with the camera?"

Many people say that there is nothing to ask. The camera was bought just to take pictures! Perhaps five years ago, everyone's views were still so consistent, but today, I believe that everyone's ideas are not limited to cameras, but they are used to take pictures.

Now it is the 5G era, and the camera has become not only a tool for taking pictures, but also a tool for video production, especially for high-quality video production.

It can be seen that the photographing ability and video ability of a camera have become two important factors in choosing a camera.

that is to say, do you buy a camera just to take pictures, or do you also take pictures and videos at the same time, or do you just consider taking videos?

different needs may lead to different choices.

For example, from the point of view of functional balance, SLR is obviously more suitable for taking photos, and micro-single is more suitable for taking videos.

There are two main reasons: one is the weight. From the convenience of shooting or the fixed stability, the lighter micro-single is obviously more advantageous; The other is that from the historical development, SLR pays more attention to the observation and operation in the viewfinder, while micro-single is more inclined to electronic real-time viewfinder. Live view is obviously more conducive to video shooting.

The second question to ask is "How are you going to use the camera after you buy it?"

For example, I bought a camera to learn photography. Some people buy cameras to show off, get a high-grade cannon, and take them out with style and face; Some people buy cameras for work, so its shooting quality, stability and durability become the main factors to be considered; If you buy a camera just to pursue fashion, in order to make friends, you should not buy a camera at all. It will be more practical to buy a mobile phone with good camera effect.

From the perspective of learning photography, I think it would be better to buy a SLR, because some functions of the micro-single are more intelligent and automatic, more similar to the shooting of mobile phones, which is not conducive to the practice of shooting skills.

for professional photographers, of course, you should also choose a SLR. In addition to guaranteed performance and strong endurance, the tall appearance is also a manifestation of strength. This is not the same as showing off mentioned above.

For people who take photography as their profession, we can now consider using micro-sheets. After all, micro-sheets are relatively small and provide better convenience. The main reason is that the shooting quality is not bad.

The third question to consider is "Which camera has more lenses?"

We know that whether it's a SLR or a micro-single, with the deepening of your use, the money spent on the lens will definitely be much more than the money you spent on the fuselage.

Therefore, choosing a camera is one aspect, and considering the matching of lenses is another aspect. Of course, if it is the first time to buy a camera, and you are not familiar with the lens and the like, you can skip this part first.

SLR has been developed for decades, and the matching lenses have been very perfect. Canon's SLR, in addition to the lens of Canon's own factory, is also supported by the lens groups of other sub-factories, such as Sigma, Tenglong and Tuli, and the choice is very large.

At present, Canon's micro-lens is only supported by more than ten RF lenses of its own, and there are few sub-factories. Although the micro-single can switch the SLR lens through the switching ring, it is always almost meaningless and its performance will be affected.

therefore, when choosing a camera, you have to consider the lens group. People who play with cameras also have people who change cameras because they like a certain lens. It can be seen that the lens is important in the eyes of enthusiasts.

Both SLR and micro-single are the products of high-tech and are constantly developing.

Although SLR is evolving to micro-single, it does not mean that SLR will stop developing. The so-called evolution only means that on the basis of small size, the micro-single has basically reached the level of SLR in terms of operation performance and shooting quality, and it has more development potential.
