In this thought-provoking video, I delve into the future of photography and ask the compelling question: "Are DSLR cameras still relevant in 2024?" Join me as I explore the rapidly evolving landscape of digital imaging and dissect whether DSLR cameras will continue to hold their ground against mirrorless cameras, or become obsolete.
With the rise of mirrorless cameras and cutting-edge technologies, it's crucial to evaluate the viability of DSLR cameras beyond 2024. I analyze the advantages and limitations of DSLR technology, considering aspects like price, lens options, battery life, viewfinder quality, dust susceptibility, size and weight, professional usage, and personal preference.
I hope that watching this video will help you make an informed decision about your photography gear in the years to come.
At some points during the video, I call DSLR cameras "mirrored DSLRs." Please know that I am aware that mirrorless cameras are not DSLRs...at least I am NOW anyway! At the time I filmed this, I still thought they were mirrorless DSLRs. Please forgive me.
Join the conversation and let me know your thoughts on the role of DSLR cameras in 2024!
