good decision Jay!
Image quality wise an dSLR with an APS-C sensor doesn't give any advantage over a mirrorless camera with APS-C sensor. Advantages of the dSLR are faster AF and, for some applications or individuals, the optical viewfinder.
Persoanlly I cherish many of the advantages of an electronic viewfinder which are also there, getting a Samsung with an EVF, focus peaking and tilting LCD imo is your best upgrade path! |
I really can't find any disadvantage of an EVF over an optical viewfinder.in fact - it's all good as far as I'm concerned. I used my NEX5 for a long time and got used to the screen, although it was difficult in bright sunshine. The A6000 with its EVF and screen is the best of everything, I still tend to use the screen more than the EVF, I like holding the camera low down and pressing the shutter with my thumb, for me it is a steadier way to use the camera which I developed with the NEX5. But in the sun I like the EVF, it has focus peaking. |
Pretty much I always use the EVF of my NEX5N and Ricoh GXR M, hardly ever their LCD, sometimes the one of the Sony, either tilted upards when shooting from the lap ( resp. with the camera resting on top of my camera waist bag ) or downwards shooting overhead.
One important advantage of an EVF for me, very suprisingly, hardly seems appreciated by most: That, unlike an OVF, it can be articulating! Usually I look down into the EVF that is tilted upwards to abt. 45 degrees. That not only makes for a very relaxed neck, but specially makes the camera drop to below the chin. The arms will be low enough so that I can lock the full lenghts of my arms against the sides of my trunk. In this very stable position I can handhold similar slow shutter speeds as I could with my Pentax dSLR that has IS ( inbody stabilization ), lifting up a camera at eye level, to use a fixed VF, I cannot. _________________ my photos on flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/kuuan/collections |
