        >cheaper
        I can find the Z6 and the S5 at the same price (used), but I've seen the S1R sold new for a thousand euros while I can't find even a very used Z7 for that much. For 1000€ the S1R would be the best bang for your buck mirrorless, if you can deal with the size and weight (and the non-phase AF)

            Nikon fag here, I seethe at sony because on Nikon I have to pay 1.5-2x more to get the same thing done, but worse, with more size and weight. I cope by seething about star eater, even though I do not do serious astrophotography, and vignetting correction raping raws, which you can turn off and do in the raw developer anyways. I even have a capture one subscription so sony raws would have good colors for me. I just have to hate sony to deal with how I'm using inferior gear for more money.

            Oh, can't forget my favorite cope - "LE WEATHER SEALING!!!!" as if putting a plastic bag on a camera is too much when my gear is already 1.5-2x larger. I just cope non-stop because I made a bad purchase. Sony cameras are just better and their 1.4 GMs put the 1.8 S shit to shame. Same size, sharper, same price sometimes....1.4 Fuck even their 20mm 1.8 is better. Fucking sony being better than nikon even before nikon went mirrorless, ugh
            Why did I fall for photography fag memes and buy a shitty overpriced meme camera? I should have just went with an a7iii. Only other photography gearhomosexual schizos even hate sony! Everyone else likes it!

            Flagship vs flagship. Canon would have announced the R3 as the R1 for a higher price if they didn't get spooked by snoy first.

              Seems fairly disingenuous when the R3 was always a temporary flagship and the R5 is significantly better for video in comparison. The R3 never served a purpose in the tier it was shoved into. Even the R6mk2 can throw heavy punches at the R3, though it lacks the stacked sensor.

                The forced noise reduction on my R6Mk II genuinely pisses me off. The camera can provide incredibly sharp photos even with mediocre glass, but the forced noise reduction can often destroy detail in certain areas, or completely ruin shadows with smudging. Ever since the success of the Rebel line they've been purposefully kneecapping their professional cameras to shoot decent photos right out of the box.

                I’ll kinda side with you on certain points. I personally never understood what canon was doing with the r3. I know it’s anecdotal but I don’t know a single professional in my field who bought an r3. Everyone has r5s or r6 IIs. The stacked sensor is important but it always felt like canon just rushed out door stop while they were working on better shit. Beyond that, using an r3 for video is unbelievably retarded.

          IBIS is terrible for videos unless you have a lens with IS or you are also shooting on a gimbal. The warping is ridiculous. IBIS is incredibly useful for stills, you can take photos at 1/8 shutter speed with no motion blur as long as you don't have shaky grandpa hands.

              Because video is a succession of still frames and the variance is from frame to frame, so you won't see it in a single frame (a photo). Similar to how you might notice an LED flickering in a video at a high speed, the flicker is the brightness change from frame to frame, but if you're only viewing a single frame then you have nothing else to compare to and you can't tell it's flickering.

      well if its sony its way smaller, way sharper, and way faster, but sony cripples FPS and video hard outside of the "appropriate" product lines so poorfag gearfags from the church of the dollar seethe because the council of the holy spec sheet finds the feature per dollar ratio lacking.

      if its canon its the same size but way faster and the lenses under 100mm have gotten a lot better. they're super fast to shoot - but with truncated raw data and e-shutter only, but hey, mech shutter is still fast (10fps-ish) and the autofocus is ridiculously good, like sony. the r6ii is essentially an a9ii but it says canon in it.

      if it's fuji it's a fucking joke.

      if it's olympus it's what photographers wished bridge cameras were. go-everywhere do-anything slight IQ hit.

      if it's panasonic it's a baller camcorder but worse than olympus at actually being a camera

      if its nikon its uh
      worse. a lot worse. spend as much money as you want if you want the mirrorless QOL of the 1st gen canon EOS R but otherwise there's no reason to go with nikon over sony/canon except pixel peeping, raw digging autism that no actual artist ever gave a shit about.

      More durable, quieter, better lenses because they don't have the limitation of needing the rear element to be 40+mm away from the sensor, better AF, EVFs have many advantages over optical viewfinder, they've continued to improve in areas like resolution and video where as DSLRs are discontinued, typically faster burst rates

      Some of that also applies to some recent DSLR's, but often more common or simply better with mirrorless
      Not much is really specific to mirrorless, just newer tech being put on newer products, and could just as easily be put on newer DSLRs (rip)
      Size, lens adaptability, better MF assist, and new features/tech were my primary motivations for switching. USB charging is great on the go. IBIS is overhyped, but it really does magic sometimes. Eye autofocus was a total game changer, and made me give up BBF.

        onions feature, real men recharge their batteries (multiple) outside of camera and swap as necessary (which is rare, as DSLRs have superior battery life)

        all that potential gone to waste kek see Nikon

        yeah no worthwhile images were made focusing on the far corner of a shot, center framing is still and will always reign king
        anyone could go on

      On Wyato, you'll get this. Pic very related. This board is full of literal jobless manchildren. They live in their parents homes. They sleep in twin beds. These are the people insisting on DSLRs. They don't want you to enjoy photography! They want you to be a "serious" autist like them and shoot building corners.

      Ignore the people saying real men this and that, they are skinnyfat noodle armed nerds who derive their sense of masculinity from operating a camera - a toy computer. That's like saying "real men compile linux from the source code". Just imagine the kind of prematurely balding pizza faced fuck that would say that.
      >i prethed a button on a computer to make the number correct im THO MANLEE *farts*

      Using a mirrorless is freeing. No more doing the "asian tourist pose". No more black blob making people nervous. You can just take your camera with you and be a more normal person. A GOOD camera, that doesn't spit out blurry colored fog if you shoot indoors without flash. Some of them even fit in pockets.

      well if its sony its way smaller, way sharper, and way faster, but sony cripples FPS and video hard outside of the "appropriate" product lines so poorfag gearfags from the church of the dollar seethe because the council of the holy spec sheet finds the feature per dollar ratio lacking.

      if its canon its the same size but way faster and the lenses under 100mm have gotten a lot better. they're super fast to shoot - but with truncated raw data and e-shutter only, but hey, mech shutter is still fast (10fps-ish) and the autofocus is ridiculously good, like sony. the r6ii is essentially an a9ii but it says canon in it.

      if it's fuji it's a fucking joke.

      if it's olympus it's what photographers wished bridge cameras were. go-everywhere do-anything slight IQ hit.

      if it's panasonic it's a baller camcorder but worse than olympus at actually being a camera

      if its nikon its uh
      worse. a lot worse. spend as much money as you want if you want the mirrorless QOL of the 1st gen canon EOS R but otherwise there's no reason to go with nikon over sony/canon except pixel peeping, raw digging autism that no actual artist ever gave a shit about.

      This is the truth. Overall mirrorless has better lenses and smaller cameras apples to apples. Physics applies some (an f1.8 lens needs a front element of a certain size, a 50mm lens can only be so small) but generally you can get a smaller setup if someone has made the option. Autofocus is also better, and there's exposure preview - but autofocus is NOT better on Nikon's Z cameras.

      Mirrorless can also have larger lenses on the smaller cameras because removing the mirror makes room for exotic optical designs. These lenses are super sharp and closer to the optics used for spy planes. They are totally unlike anything you can put on an SLR except for $$$$$$$$$ "cinema" lenses. You can not compare them to DSLRs. Nikon's Z mount is infested with such incomparable lenses. They really are super sharp compared to DSLR lenses, but why would you want them? Just get a sony or olympus, stick to the smaller lenses and enjoy life instead of pixel peeping.
