The post Mirrorless Users Will Switch Back to DSLRs, Ricoh Executive Claims appeared first on Digital Photography School. It was authored by Jaymes Dempsey. Imaging Resource recently released an interview with a group of executives from Ricoh, the company that produces Pentax cameras. When discussion turned to mirrorless cameras versus DSLRs – and decreasing DSLR sales – things got especially interesting. Said Hiroki Sugahara, General Manager of the Marketing Communication Department:
When questioned by the interviewer, Sugahara further explained:
Sugahara concluded:
Could Sugahara be right? Might DSLRs soon be making a comeback?Personally, I don’t think so. While some people do follow the latest trends, mirrorless cameras have the specs to back up their popularity: they’re lightweight, they’re compact, and they produce top-notch images. And mirrorless systems will just keep getting more and more appealing, as electronic viewfinders improve and mirrorless lens-lineups expand.
Of course, there are reasons to stick with a DSLR. For one, DSLRs tend to be more rugged than mirrorless cameras. And electronic viewfinders can have lag issues. But mirrorless technology is improving, and how many photographers will switch back to DSLRs for a more rugged body? Not to mention the questionable reasoning employed by Sugahara. Sure, the occasional photographer may not be happy with an electronic viewfinder. But will photographers really prefer the greater challenge provided by a DSLR optical viewfinder, as Sugahara seems to be implying? In my experience, capturing stunning photos is hard enough. Photographers won’t want to make it harder on themselves. What do you think? Will DSLRs rebound? Or is mirrorless the system of the future? Share your thoughts in the comments!
