In 2021, I have made the leap or migration over to the mirrorless platform. I just picked up my new Nikon Z50 today from the local camera store. I decided to compare my 7 year Nikon D7100 to Z50 using the same the lens. For the Z50, I utilized the FTZ adapter this enabled my older dslr lenses to work on the new platform. I decided to shoot with a couple of Tamron lenses I have a 10-24 and a 18-270. My model for the photography test is my little girl, Miss Daizy enjoying a nap on her beloved couch. My apologies in advance the lighting was not or is not the best.
Keep in mind by looking at these pictures that I utilized the same lenses on both cameras. I wanted to see the different of the DSLR technology versus the mirrorless platform. The only editing I did to photos was to crop them into a portrait style. I knew the reputation of mirrorless cameras was good. I think this unconventional test using both cameras, having Daizy as my model, incorporating her beloved couch with crummy lighting has shown the quality of mirrorless to be initially fantastic. I do not have plans to give up my DSLR camera anytime soon. Mirrorless is just the next progression of technology , which is similar to when we went from film to the digital platform. All venus in photography are wonderful and allows for greater creativity regardless if you are in a black room or working in photoshop. Always evolving and getting better like we all do as artists.
