you can't do WHAT with Mirrorless?!?

Great post. What revelation! But the fact is that any photo is possible with any camera, broadly speaking. I would choose 1dx for these kinds of shots as it would be easier with that camera.

totally..
I shot motorcycle jumping with a PowerShot A610 and got consistently good results in an indoor venue.

But these guys in the article are shooting mirrorless regularly, in a fast paced environment, using some of the skills we used to need back before AF and digital.
But ML systems are not exactly all handicapped, Nikon 1 V3 is one of the fastest focusing and shooting cameras available. As is the a6000 if you can set it up for what you need.
Fast pro DSLRs will have the lead in this kind of area.. but ML systems are charging up the mid-ranks pretty fast now.

you nailed THAT one!
I wish they'd stop putting dinky little batteries in these things and make them "real" sized instead of dwarfish.
FWIW, was out all day with ML and DSLRs and didn't have to swap batteries in any of them. If anything, my d800 seemed to eat the most juice when doing long exposure night shots.

Thanks, interesting piece.

To read this in a reasonable time, just go to question number 4 for each photographer -- that's where they explain (some better than others) why they chose the mirrorless.

If you're interested in who they are or what moves them about photography, you can read the rest -- that's just fill and fluff to me.

There's so much on the size and price. Fair enough, nearly all these guys were using pro FF bodies with fast long lenses. But given the arguments many could have achieve the same goal with 7DII and higher end EF-s lenses, or even a 70D for that matter - and the Nikon equivalents of course.

I find it funny that those (well known or self promoting) guys who have changed to small (often APS or micro four this) mirrorless cameras have come from the top end, largest and heaviest gear.

Not that it matters. If someone wants to use an Olympus or Fuji good for them. It's just that often as not their arguments are based around a choice between a Canon 1Dx + 70-200 f2.8, Nikon D4 etc, or small format mirrirless. Nothing in between, which I think makes most of their arguments a little weak.

In all fairness if I was out shooting for the day with my 5d I would put an extra battery in the bag. One could do that just as easy with Mirror Less as well. Maybe two batteries instead of one, they are very small and light. Simple!

A good photographer can make the best of his tools, it does not take a super camera shooting 10 or more FPS to shoot sports.

Sports events were shot with the big 4 X 5 Graflex Press cameras for many years. You had to pull the film pack out after every shot and turn it over or pop a new one in.

You also had to put the film cover in place and remove it or lose your image. Even when I was in high school, our photography students photographed sports using the 4X5 and got some great photos.

Of course, many cannot seem to conceive of capturing the right image with just one exposure, but when that's all you can do, you learn to do it right.

True. I would love to perfect the timing. But shoot it with 12 fps. Since I can, why not? :)
