[QUOTE="sonicbuffalo_RIP, post: 387797, member: 21543"] Forgive me for I know not what I was saying in my response to [USER=9240]@BackdoorHippie[/USER]. To clarify some things that he and I brought up. I went through the magazine cover to cover and 4 out of 5 of the specific camera ads were for mirrorless cameras. The rags are following the money. The other interesting thing is that one of the runner's up is the Fuji X-T1. Panasonics 4/3's mirrorless Lumix was also a Silver Medalist. So, we have 2 out of the top 3 rated cameras by Popular Photography being a mirrorless camera. I quote: "All of our finalists are great cameras, but the D750 embodies the do-anything, rugged DSLR that remains the object of desire for most photographers. One Popular Photography staffer went so far as to wonder whether, given the growing prominence of mirrorless cameras, this will be the last DSLR to win the coveted title of Camera of The Year. While that probably won't be the case, we do expect that ILC's will continue to impress shooters of all kinds with innovative ideas and powerful bodies. Meanwhile the D750 reminds us that DSLRs remain as relavant as ever." I think that speaks effectively as to where we are in regards to mirrorless. When 2 out of the top 3 rated cameras this year are mirrorless, that gives the mirrorless community something to hang their hats on. [/QUOTE]
