Yes. A mirrorless is smaller and lighter than a DSLR. No one ever talked about the lenses.

Fun fact: I only shoot with DSLR.

Full frame mirrorless like the Sony A7 is particularly dumb.

The crop mirrorless cameras with lenses designed just for crop only actually are smaller than DSLRs.

Fuji makes SOME huge lenses, for when you want huge lenses. They also make small pancakes, prime sized normal zooms, a cute little 35mm, etc.

Having a fuji is a lot like having a normal dick. Having a Sony or DSLR is like having a dick that's hard 100% of the time. With the fuji, you can have it small and compact and out of the way when you don't need it to be enormous and powerful. With full frame, you're sporting a huge monster camera boner at all times and it makes a weird bulge in your pants and sure it's great when you're fucking, but the rest of the time, people are just giving you weird looks.

Pro-tip: Canon is shit.

I shot Canon for the longest time and the best decision I've ever made was to sell all my Canon gear. Megapickles, autofocus, battery life - all those mean shit if the megapickles are shit, autofocus has a worse hit rate than manual focus and it takes literally 3 seconds to switch batteries on any camera.

I now use Fuji.

And anyone else that shares my priorities, which is actually a lot of people btw.

See pic related, I like cameras compact enough that I can carry with me literally everywehre. Weight's a consideration too for many (3.5lbs vs 2lbs). I was a Nikon shooter for ~7 years, I sold my D800 / D750 / D4, it's just not worth the size / weight when I can get the same (if not better) IQ in such a smaller (and lighter) package.

If I still shot profressionally (weddings or sports), no doubt I'd still be using Nikon. But for every day / travel / portrait photography, the a7 series is basically a ton of upside with little to no drawbacks (virtually none in my case).

So true, I've basically heard nothing but bad shit from my Canon reps, they've been doing awful sales-wise. I know at least for my company, as far as ILC cameras go, Sony had 2x their sales and Nikon had ~5x.
>>
>>2760512
Maybe, but >>2760398 is a field test of a camera that was never supposed to shoot in the dark. You have controlled light in your studio, the 5DS is a studio camera, why would they care about the ISO performance?
That's like saying a race car without headlights is shit on a country road by night. Of course it is, but that's not what it was build for.

These tests just show how desperate gearfags try to start arguments. You guys aren't better than the people on /v/ arguing about superior consoles. Yet you people forget to take actual pictures with your precious whatever camera and resell it after half a year with a 800 shutter count because DXO said the latest camera was slightly better in some aspects.

fixed that for you.

>>
>>2760713

No but you're wrong still. The body of the A7 series is smaller and lighter than any other full frame camera. Sure the lenses are the same size (hurr durr physics exists) but that's not super relevant. the 70-200 from sony is lighter than the 70-200 from Nikon. The 50mm zeiss is bigger than a lot of canon or nikon 50mm lenses, but it's a zeiss and it's worth it. If you want to put a smaller lens on then you can.

And your comparison is retarded. A Lamborghini with no wheels is still better than your shitty car with no wheels. Just like my A7ii with no lens is still better and lighter than your 5D Mkiii with no lens.

Why would it not be relevant? You can't use the camera without the lenses. If the total package is the same size, then it's not smaller, is it? Unless of course your the target Sony market, who only uses cameras for the numbers that go along with them on paper... If I'm holding a camera and lens that's nine inches long, and you're holding a camera and lens that's nine inches long, but the part you use to actually operate it is smaller, more cramped, and less ergonomically suited to the human hand, then I'm not seeing the benefit.

I want a camera body that's large, with buttons that fall to hand, and smaller lenses, personally.
>>
>>2760714
>A Lamborghini with no wheels is still better than your shitty car with no wheels.
Uh, no, it's literally the same. Probably worse, actually, because it's less comfortable, less space to move around, less space for activities, a worse sound system...
>>
>>2760716

Because the length is the only dimension of size that matters, right guys?

How about weight, and ya know, like the other 4 measurements that indicate size. Length of body with lens is ONE unit. Depth, width and height, plus weight are all 100% equally relevant.
>>
>>2760513
which are the bad XF fuji lenses? just saw a craigslist ad and I'm having trouble remembering
>>
>>2760723
Only one I've heard is not that good is the 18mm. No personal experience tho.
>>
>>2760723
There aren't any BAD ones, but there are slower ones. The 60mm, the older 35mm, the 27mm, and the 18mm are just okay, overall.

The 60 and the 35 have really nice image quality, but are slow to focus and operate, and are loud, and clunky. The 18 and 27 are optically still pretty nice, but not *as* nice as the others.
>>
>>2760718
The overall bulk of the system is only marginally smaller. It's not really worth talking about. The other dimensions are the ones where you want the size, so that you don't have to try to work a little wrist-watch calculator to make it all work. Big lenses on a small body feel off balance, awkward, and uncomfortable. The larger sony grip will help somewhat, but the issue is well observed.

Weight, again, the difference between carrying 5 pounds for 8 hours, and carrying 4 pounds uncomfortably for 8 hours is pretty negligible.

The A7rmk2 and a6300 have a lot better places to claim superiority over dslrs than size.
>>
>>2760729

I guess my issue is that I have small hands, so my A7ii is equally comfortable as the D750, which is for all intents and purposes basically the same camera, just DSLR vs Mirrorless.

Since I have small hands, the smaller body isn't a negative, so why not save that extra pound? I go on serious backpacking trips and that does add up for me.
>>
>>2760729
Right. Size is the stupidest argument ever. As soon as I went into an electronics store and held the A7's for the first time the first things I noticed were

1.) They aren't that compact. Smaller, sure, but I don't imagine them finding their way into my pants pockets comfortably.
2.) They aren't exactly light either. Hardly lighter than most D-SLRs, sans the D5/1DX II type cameras.

I really like all that Sony brings to the table too but I still really enjoy picking up and shooting with my D-SLR, and I'm not entirely sold on EVF either. I don't need to see what my exposure looks like since I shoot in aperture priority and know how to meter for the result I want anyways, and I'm not fond of the idea of having to turn on the camera just to look through the viewfinder. I'd love being able to adapt just about any lens possible though - I've thought about adding a Sony MILC as a second body and adapting my current lenses + other lens mounts on it.

You probably got your trauma from one of the old APSC kit lenses or something.

The better lenses with Zeiss batches have excellent haptics. Good resistance to the ring, and virtually zero lag.
>>
>>2760836
It's 45g per ~350 well-framed shots or two-three times as much with some people's faster shooting style than CIPA ratings would suggest.

So, no, not really... theoretically on week-long hikes on foot with no solar larger panel that might be the case, but few do this.

>>2760869

I have an A7 because ergonomics.
having one dedicated dial for each part of the exposure triangle is a godsend, it makes shooting manual so much easier it doesn't make sense to do otherwise. absolutely every other camera got it wrong.
on the rare event you feel too lazy too shoot manual, there's still the exposure comp to go along with semi-auto programs.
and, since mirrorless is in what dslr-fags call 'live view', you can directly see the result of your exposure.
Thousands times better.

I literally thought until now other cameras had this. Wow DSLR what fucking shit
>>
>>2761086
> absolutely every other camera got it wrong
I understand some of the rest of your argument, but having those dials isn't really an A7 specialty?
>>
>>2761100
you'd be surprised to see how many cameras only have 2 dials. fuck tons.
Canon 5DM3? One dial at the top, a spinning wheel on the back.
Nikon 810? One dial at the front, one other at the back, the menu "wheel" does not spin.
for christ's sake.
even the fucking Nikon DF, with its ton of dials, somehow made it so the longest exposure you can easily get is 4 seconds. because it's more important to write it down for up to 1/4000.

I'm not saying it's an A7 specialty... but the only other camera I've seen doing it right is the nex-7.

They could have reduced the flange distance at least though, unless ergonomically it wouldnt have been possible to hold the cam with that thing on.
>>
>>2761086
Whatever floats your boat, but generally, DSLRs have a dial for shutter speed, a dial for aperture, and most times a little button to press for ISO that's right under your finger and slows you down a lot less than having to reach up to the top of the camera with your off hand.

Fun fact, DSLRs also have EV comp, and live view.

Fixed that for you.

Which dial on the A7 is for ISO?

>They could have reduced the flange distance at least though,
Oh man, you should write them a letter. I bet they didn't think to try this...
>>
>>2760343
Is that sony weatherproof yet?
>>
>>2761163
It really does not seem likely that they made it bigger for ergonomic reasons.

This glass is probably just going to be fucking amazing again, like the 90mm FE is.

Actually kinda feels like Minolta's glass designing prowess is coming back in the present...
>>
>>2761172
I don't think it will be. Just "-resistant" again.

So there is probably at least a year of "Sony can't be used for x" shitposting left, even if this glass -as one would expect after the old 70-200 f/4 and the 90mm FE- is of the highest optical and mechanical quality again.

It's a lot faster to press a button that's under your pointer finger, and turn a dial that's under your thumb, than it is to take your camera away from your eye, lower it down, move your left hand up to the shoulder, depress a dial lock, turn the dial, put your hand back in position, bring your camera back up to your eye, re-frame, etc.

Honestly, if it works for you, that's great!

To me, everything seemed a bit too mediocre when doing a hands-on.

Controls were fine, but almost no really high-end lenses, camera sensor is only upper mid-range at best, AF is not at all great as compared to Sony / Nikon / Canon, AWB is rather wonky, and so on.

None of this is true.

All of the lenses are high end (the complaint with Fuji is usually that there are no LOW end lenses and people can't afford them)

The sensor is fantastic, with great dynamic range, and an enormous amount of detail from the lack of AA filter and the addition of the XTrans array.

The AF on the "pro level" lenses is nearly instant in nearly all light levels.
>Pic related, 50-140 nailing 14 locks in a row in near darkness

The AWB works perfectly and predictably, and Fuji is usually lauded for its colors and rendition (Except for greens, which tend to come out a little blue)

I was able to make that statement because I own both the X-T1 and the 7D. As I said, the Fuji is more fun, but it is certainly not more efficient or more effective.
>>

>>
>>2761213
I assume you're talking about how the screen is dark, and the lights up during focus. That is because I have "preview exposure in the EVF" turned on, and the settings are set to show the light level in the room (low). If I were actually taking photos, the settings would be adequate for the shot, and it would be bright the whole time at ISO 6400 probably (for that lighting)

That feature can also be turned off, for when you're using strobes, so that it just shows you the scene in front of you exposed brightly, regardless of your settings, so you can work in dim modeling lights without having to deal with a dark-as-shit display.

Fun fact though, the optics are almost always just as high quality as the XF series, it's just that a lot of the metal is replaced by plastic. The 16-50, for instance, is a fantastic lens with ultra fast accurate AF, and truly surprising sharpness, only tarnished by its association with isi lately.

>>2761211

They're higher-end than the $100-300 entry level glass the majority of people would like to buy.

They're just not quite like the best Olympus M.Zuiko, Nikkor, Zeiss or Canon "L", Sigma Art, Sony "G"...

> Pic related, 50-140 nailing 14 locks in a row in near darkness
Shows nothing, really. Can't even see if that focused accurately.

And what's "near total darkness" anyways? Something like -2 EV (0.625 lux)?

> The AWB works perfectly and predictably, and Fuji is usually lauded for its colors and rendition
Uh, no. That one was absolutely not the case, and only Fuji users think that's good color rendition ("Fuji color rendition" instantly primarily gets negative search results too, though maybe you're trapped in a search bubble...)


Now, don't get me wrong, I don't think by any means it's trash bin material. Just a bit mediocre. [And I haven't even touched speedlights and workflow and stuff yet.]

Well, there was quite a lot.

In terms of still having relevance today, I'm especially thinking of the APO glass. That was released around the early 90ties (depicted was released 1987 and revised 1989), and is still really good glass by today's standards. Also still gets traded for around or above $1k.

Look at this:

Batis has shit bokeh. Good bokeh is one of the selling points of G unit. The batis doesn't even have any aspheric surfaces. For perspective the nikon 85mm f1.4 is over 1000$ more expensive than the nikon 85mm f1.8. Those two lenses also perform very similarly. If the G unit was a zeiss branded lens it would probably be 2 or 3 times the price of the batis. Be grateful sony didn't pay to put a zeiss badge on this lens.

Explain why you think that's shit bokeh, and then provide an example with bokeh you like more.

I've done my research and I personally love the look of that lens. Most likely it's just a difference of preference between us, but until you actually explain your stance, then YOU are the heresay. I've provided examples.

Not him but the second picture has horrendous borders and separation of edges. It's like onioning but much more. It's not pleasant or smooth at all.

No, it mostly is just IQ and Bokeh whoring.

If you want a Macro, get the 90mm FE. It's already out and also a "G" lens with very high IQ (its bokeh may certainly be considered imperfect, on the other hand).

Yes, I think they announced it was ~90cm.

>>2761679
> Why is it so expensive? The A-mount users that don't have anything better?
No, it's just still about that good, really.

If the current best glass in the range is $1.5-3k new (with diminishing returns on investment applied), then this one is just around $1k used.

2. That crop sensor A6000 (and the A6300's) is equal or higher in resolution than most FF cameras' sensors today. You really quite possibly want good glass on that.

Like on Nikon / Canon's lens systems, that high-end glass primarily just is FF glass.

There is absolutely no corollation between "full frame vs APS-C" glass and "Quality vs shit" glass.

>>2761651
You're missing the point. DLSRs with f/2.8 zooms are expected to be big. Mirrorless cameras are not.

Oh, hi /p/
>>
>>2762396
I'm not saying that everybody wants a full frame camera, but I am saying that you should't lock yourself in to nothing but crop sensor lenses, as with Sony, high-end crop lenses are basically non-existent, they have no high end crop telephotos, and the closest there are are from 2 Zeiss lenses, one a 24mm f/1.8, the other an overpriced f/4 zoom.

If you want crop lenses, go to Olympus, Panasonic, Samsung, or Fuji, as they all have high end crop lenses, Sony, for the most part, is nothing but low-end to midrange consumer lenses in the crop sensor area

You're just plain wrong. F2,8 Zooms are expected to follow laws of physics.
That's why they are a certain diameter, and a certain length from sensor to iris plane.

From that image, it's just plainly simply that Canon has placed their sensors as close and far back to the rear screen as possible.

Meanwhile Nikon puts a large distance between the Rear LCD to the sensor plane.

If you wanna complain about mirrorless complain about the completely unusable collection of crap that is Sony's flash ecosystem

Got myself a used EOS M a few months ago for fun.

Ended up leaving the EF-M to EF adapter on it most of the time.... Not even that compact....

Well that's the problem, but it doesn't have to be that way. The primes and pancakes are well covered, and while not perfect, do ok. They've got a strong (but really expensive) standard zoom, and a wide/ultrawide. All they need is a couple specialty lenses, macro and such, and a telephoto that isn't embarassing.
>>
>>2762621
They do have a macro lens, the 30mm f/3.5, the problem is that the focal length makes it so that you have to be up the ass up the subject in order to get 1:1 magnification. I think that a 55 or 70mm macro would be better, and give more distance

You're either trolling or completely stupid to post that as if it has any large significance to most real world situations.
The test result was obtained by applying a +5 exposure push and 100% shadow recovery.
You'd have to severely fuck up your exposure metering to find a reason to make that kind of post adjustment.
I've seen other Sony fanboys post this comparison as well, as if it's some death blow to Canon.
All it shows is that Sony users don't know how to take photos.

Meanwhile most press award images are taken with Canon cameras, and sporting events are dominated by canon users, and sales indicate more people are choosing Canon by a wide margin.
It sounds to me as if you don't actually know how to use a camera, and are blaming the tech instead of admitting you're an idiot.

You faggot. The biggest difference in terms of determining how big a lens has to be is the sensor size, not the focal-to-flange distance.

That said, the Canon L II USM and the Tamron VC USD 24-70mm f/2.8s are smaller than Sony's FE GM. For what purpose? No fucking reason for it to be so.

How so?

Do you actually for even one second believe the resulting size of that lens wasn't deliberate?
>>
>>2762754
>For what purpose?
Don't you know, the bigger the lens the more "PRO" it is (All my Normie friends).
>>
>>2762743
What it showcases is that one sensor is better than another one under circumstances outside an intelligent users requirements.
>>2762755
This /p/ro is on the money. Intelligent people have better ways of recording under those situations to produce better results. And they've been doing it for decades.
>Sony/Nikon users: I need to get a better sensor to take better photos.
>Everyone else: I need to be a better photographer to take better photos.

Stop using your camera as a crutch for shitty technique.

>never plan on buying sony glass
<no problems here

if someone buys a camera for its size and then slaps a big ass lens on it that's their problem. this is like buying a sports car. throwing on 24 inch rims, and then complaining and blaming the car for the shitty performance. if someone is short sighted enough to buy a camera because it is smaller than a dslr and then buy massive lenses for it that's their own dumb ass decision. doesn't make the original product shitty by some strange extension.
>>
>>2762820
That is the worse analogy I have ever read on 4chan.

Holy fuck my brain just twitched reading that drivel.
>>
>>2762825
How? We are talking about how mirrorless cameras lose the benefits of their small size once you stick a fatass lens on them. It's not the cameras fault, the camera is still small. It's the user's fault who bought it for the compact size only to smack a huge lens on it.

Camera = sports car
Huge lens that negates the cameras small size = stupid rims that negate the original performance of the sports car
>>
>>2762847
>mirrorless cameras lose the benefits of their small size

So what you are really saying is the benefits of that small size are hugely overrated because you can't have both small a size AND the versatility of a system camera.

So how is the A7 better than a point and shoot then?
>>
>>2762855
You can put a small lens on a small body and have a take-anywhere camera, an option you don't have with a big body.
If you put a big lens on on a small body you're in the same boat as putting a big lens on a big body.

This isn't difficult to understand.
>>
>>2762859
Can you put a small 85mm f/1.4 on a Sony a7R with autofocus and stuff?
>>
>>2760352
So apparently it is larger because of the lens. You do know there are pancake lenses and adapters... And if you are judging the manufacturer's desire for the lenses on the camera, well I don't think that constitutes as a possible problem.

I will tell you what is a problem on the A7S, the fucking rolling shutter.
>>
>>2762920
Yes you can put a pancake on a mirrorless camera, but you can also put a pancake on a DSLR. The point is, with the same focal length and aperture, the mirrorless isn't smaller (in this case)

On the other hand, compare a 5D with a 50mm f/1.4, against an x-T1 with a 35mm f/1.4.
5D with a 135 f/2 against an X-T1 with a 90mm
5D with an 85mm f/1.2 against an X-T1 with a 56mm.
>>
>>2762924
>with the same focal length and aperture, the mirrorless isn't smaller
Care to point out an equivalent DSLR setup manage to be as small as the A7Rii + FE 35mm F2,8?
>>
>>2761086
I don't know why you feel the need to have constant easy access to ISO as if it's a priority function that has to change all the time. Its never been that way with cameras. Traditionally ISO was a set and forget option cause of film, and it's much the same now, except you might have a small range of ISO that would be acceptable for the scene. You consider this for the environment you're shooting in or for what the intended output is and then forget about it so you can concentrate on what shutter and aperture to use per shot.
If you're manually considering and changing ISO for each consecutive image this just makes things more difficult. So access to change ISO frequently is not something most users need which is why it doesn't have the same placement as A or S in the majority of cameras.
If you need it, then that's great you found a camera that accommodates, but most don't.
>>
>>2763131
>f/2.8 prime
Who the fuck would bother?

SL1 with 24mm f/2.8
>>
>>2762859
Except that the new Sony 85mm f/1.4 GM is considerably larger than Canons 85mm f/1.2.
So you're actually getting less glass. You'd think the lens would be smaller no? That's the point OP is making.
Imagine if Sony made an APSc mirror less camera that was larger than FF DSLR. That would be stupid right? Just like the size of this new lens.
>>
>>2763166
>24mm
Not equivalent to 35mm.

The burden is on you. You claim DSLR can be just as compact in any situation. Don't be a coward bro, go for it, I dare you.
>>
>>2763170
>Caring about 3mm
Must be a sony faggot.
>>
>>2763170
pro tip, most 35mm lenses aren't 35mm either.
>>
>>2763177
>>2763178
There is a significant perspective difference between 24mm and 35mm. They are simply not equivalent.

Now then, since you're given up. Will you quit pretending your DSLR can always be just as compact in all situations?
>>
>>2763181
24mm on crop is 38mm eqivalent. So a 3mm difference.
>>
>>2763183
We're comparing FF mirrorless to FF DLSR here. No crops.

You would be wise to understand the situation before entering the loser side of the argument.
>>
>>2763188
>Care to point out an equivalent DSLR setup manage to be as small as the A7Rii + FE 35mm F2,8?
I see no mention of full frame.
>>
>>2763189
A7Rii = full frame
>>
>>2763190
So you don't like how easy it was to prove you wrong, and now you're moving the goal posts all around. Sounds about right. Did you warm up before doing all these gymnastics?
>>
>>2763191
I believe I told you not to be a coward.

Either tackle my question honestly>>2763131, or give up.
>>
>>2763194
A 1.6 crop dslr with a 24mm lens is effectively equivalent to a full frame camera with a 35mm lens. The aperture is even the same. And I do believe the SL1 with 24mm pancake is smaller.

You didn't add full frame until after. Also, I realize you're enjoying brandishing "coward" as some sort of weapon in your defense of your shitty system, but it doesn't take a lot of bravery to google some cameras. I guess it does take some to admit that you were wrong, rather than trying to worm new criteria into the mix though...

If you wanted to point out how it's not equivalent, you should have reached for your official sony supplied master stats sheet listing dynamic range, autofocus capabilities, etc. But no, you went easy mode and reached for full frame and shot your wad.
