This is a huge one for me. For years I shot YouTube episodes on larger cinema cameras like the Sony FS series and Panasonic AF100. While I loved the functionality of built-in ND filters and secure locking ports, it was impossible not to draw attention to ourselves.
Sure, I love shooting videos, but do you know what else I love? Photography. Mirrorless cameras take great photos and video, whereas if a video camera even offers a still photo mode, it's sure to be underwhelming. Few video cameras will even allow you to take a raw photograph, and usually, the photo quality is no better than just pulling a frame from a video clip. Video cameras also tend to have horrendous ergonomics for shooting photos, but mirrorless camera designs work great as both photo and video tools. If you enjoy both art forms like me, a mirrorless camera makes more sense as an investment.
Even if the camera will solely be used for video work, things like time-lapse and stop motion video are just a series of stills. While video cameras will usually have a mode to allow interval frames of video, a mirrorless camera will offer you much higher quality and more control. If you've ever seen a high-end time-lapse or stop motion shoot, it's always a stills camera on the tripod. Budgets are not tight on that type of shoot, and the team knows that a mirrorless camera is the best tool.
As a side note, I never want to check a bag when I fly. Having a single camera that can do everything means never showing up to a destination to discover that one of my cameras was accidentally sent to another continent: one camera, one set of lenses, one bag.
Odd comment about DPReview is for 'still photography' only. I was a dedicated stills photographer for years (decades in fact) but there was the pressure to video. And mirrorless and mobiles were the turning point.
100% agree. I did not consider video capabilities of my camera until years later when I began getting request to do video. Now I have two mirrorless cameras that are very capable video cameras as well.
You don't use a dedicated video camera for your videos, whatever, I wasn't concerned about it. I'm here to read about stills photography, absolutely nothing else. I mean, I like cars, but why not describe why you drive a Corolla instead of an SUV or whatever? You know why? Because this isn't a cars site. Why not describe why you eat cereal every morning instead of waffles and eggs? Because this isn't a culinary arts site.
Actually I'm pleased to hear that you two are going to still be kicking it at PetaPixel. My only thing is it seems like there's a new "rah rah rah video" article every other day. I'm not interested in any of that, never have been for as long as I've been coming here.
Even if I were, I would want to read about it at a video site, and I wouldn't want to be reading about photography at that site either by the way. It's no different than when I'm browsing a site about NBA basketball, that's what I'm there to read about, absolutely positively nothing else at all whatsoever. Or, when I browse at phonescoop.com, I'm not there to read about the latest television. Same thing.
Yes video is popular, but this is a PHOTOGRAPHY site. To me, things belong in their proper place. It's why when it's kid #1's birthday, kid #2 gets no presents. It's why I don't celebrate dads on Mother's Day or vice versa, and certainly not pet owners. I'm pedantic that way and PROUD of it. Video and photography to me are as separate as soccer and space travel. I will always see it that way, forever and for all time. I don't care about anyone else's opinion, only telling you mine and how right it is and how wrong yours is if it's different.
Nonsense. Wake up to the world. This is (was) primarily a photo gear review site. Most photo equipment these days has also video capabilities, and most people are interested in them too. It's a reality. Makes a complete sense to discuss both photo and video sides of the story. If you are not interested, this article is not for you, but doesn't mean that other people aren't.
Jordan was describing the value he sees for in the field video production in the "photo first" mirrorless cameras many of us use. He also included the better benefit in travel compactness and stills photography.
I'm sure running shoes could also perform decently as hiking gear, but if I'm reading a running magazine or site, I want to read about running, not hiking, even if it can do hiking decently and even if I like hiking--because it's not a hiking site. When I want to read about hiking, then I'll go to a hiking site, and I'll expect not to read anything about running while I'm there.
@ larrytusaz: Then read just the stills related stuff. This is the web, that offers so much more than a printet magazine - that said, when reading a magazine, you also can skip what is not of interest for you.
I'm saying such articles shouldn't exist at all, at a photography site. (A video site, fine, heck I'd expect it.) Like I said, everything belongs in its proper place, and I will NEVER consider video to be the same thing as photography and I don't care who else does. They have their (wrong) opinion, I have my (right) opinion.
I realize video functionality is likely here for good and I understand TOLERATING it, but I'm under no compulsion to EMBRACE it, to jump up and down and be its cheerleader. I'm absolutely allowed to oppose its inclusion in the photography realm and instead continue to believe it's a separate world as it were . If that makes me a dinosaur, so be it, I wear the label with pride.
Geee - somebody is really uptight today.... almost every camera made these days also has the capability to shoot videos. It would be silly, totally silly, to ignore these functions only because the website made 25 years ago carries the name "Photo" in it.
Well for me, names matter. If this site was called "digital photos and videos review," then ok. It's called "digital PHOTOGRAPHY review." For me; that's everything. In like manner, I've never noticed if Car And Driver reviews trucks or vans etc, but if they did, I'd say that's wrong because it's called CAR and driver. It it wants to cover all of them, then call yourself VEHICLES and driver.
