A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Mirrorless isn’t all that (for stills) (alien.top)

Hello peoples! I recently acquired a Sony A6400. Now I didn’t get it for stills, I got it mainly to start practicing video as I’m majoring in film.

Video I haven’t messed around with it all that much, but I’m pretty pleased with the results so far.

Stills tho…… I’m super disappointed. I think it has to do with that it has an EVF. I get EVFs have a lot of advantages, but those come at the expense of the user experience.

I was shooting some landscape just now, and the flip up screen is cool and all, but I COULDNT SEE MY SCENE. Like I had no idea what was actually in my shadows, and it was not conducive for taking good pictures.

Eye af and all the info is cool, but idk… I just don’t like EVFS for stills.

Try the r6. Went from the EOS R and Sony 6300. Now I shoot my still on the R6 and video is the A74. I personally love mirrorless and will continue to use them especially canon for still and Sony for video/lowlight settings

Think I’m gonna stick with my good ol d700 for stills and the a6400 for video. I got the a6400 for video in the first place. I am not disappointed in the quality of the images (like they look like images from any other generic crop cam) but the experience while shooting sucks and thus ruins my impression of the work I’m doing. That’s the point I was trying to get across with this post but people don’t seem to get it lol
