When I was growing up, we had to learn about DSLRs in school because they were seen as the next best thing. People thought a new revolution would occur in cinema with independent short films being easier than ever to make. But I hated learning photography on a DSLR, since many videos would come out with heaps of noise.
Do you think DSLRs even changed the world with its ability to make easy short films?
even a smartphone is better at video than a DSLR
nobody uses DSLR they use mirrorless
>>4434284If you enrol into a photography degree, they tell you to get three things:
>DSLR>Lightroom>Photoshop
>>4434287Adobe has contracts with the school fyi. All of the actual professionals use capture one, phocus, avid, and davinci resolve. Basically anyone smart enough not to use adobe, does not use adobe.
Premier can be on i guess? Fuck the rest
>>4434287Yeah. Because it's not an Ivy League university and they don't expect you to be able to afford minimum $2000 for a mirrorless. Nobody professionally uses a DSLR in 2025, nobody.
>>4434291We had to use Adobe all throughout high school and college. I even use InDesign when I worked for a book publishing company.
>>4434293How many professional photographers do you know? Many people who win photography prizes in my state use DSLRs, on top of TLR film cameras that are almost 100 years old.
>>4434294>How many professional photographers do you know?All of the world famous ones who tell everyone what camera they use. The only reason to use a DSLR is poverty, they are technically inferior in every way to mirrorless.
>>4434295>The only reason to use a DSLR is povertyYou can learn a lot on the DSLR for $80-100 before you spend $1500-2000 on a mirror less camera. They can still be used as student cameras.
You are talking about a revolution that occurred before these people were into shooting, or they were not into filmmaking at the time, thus they don't understand what you are talking about, "people shoot video on mirrorless".
When I say revolution I truly mean it. It was an absolute shock to the video/filmmaking world when people suddenly found they had access to a large sensor camera capable of recording video. You have to understand that up to that point in 2009, the only way you could capture video on a large 35mm size format, you had to rent a Red or an Alexa, (200K systems) or shoot even more expensive super 35 negative film like hollywood directors.
Lo and behold, in 2009, Canon suddenly, i n a firmware update nonetheless, which is hilarious, added video capture to the 5D mark II. The camera was already "shooting" video to give the Live View feature on the backscreen, so they just said hey, why don't we dump it to the card and give people video recording?
They didn't realize the implications of what they'd allowed, the ability of low and no budget filmmaker to shoot on a format that's even larger than hollywood 35mm film.
I remember back then, Canon hadn't realized what they made to the point that they didn't allow users to manually change exposure settings in video mode and it was always on Auto with no way to lock it. They also didn't give any other options aside from 30p. And they had no audio meters or control, so we asked Canon for it all and they delivered with a firmware update, enabling manual mode, audio control, even true 24p!
Year after that, and they delivered the t2i/550D, a camera with a sensor the same size as 35mm motion picture film pr Reds/Alexas, with full manual control, 24p, audio in, all for a cool 500$. This was the real democratization move that gave us all ability to shoot nice, actual looking films.
That's why DSLRs mattered for film.
>>4434295aka influencers you follow on gaystagram and gaybook.
>>4434295uh
no
DSLR has faster autofocus vs mirrorless
mirrorless has copeputational shittography fetures for like analytical object tracking but in terms of point at object, focus, shoot... DSLRs win, it's not even a competition their dedicated sensors are both more sensitive, higher res, and faster to read and that gives them snappy AF
>>4434283 (OP)It seems like you don't understand what your actual problem was so your question is nonsensical
DSLRs can have too much noise, same as any other camera
It's setting or lighting problem, not a camera one and certainly nothing specific to a certain type of camera
>>4434670DSLR AF was only good because it only has to consider like 15-20% of the entire frame
Modern mirrorless is a lot better at AF
>>4434295I go to 5-6 weddings a year and still see boomer bricks about half the time, they aren't going away
>>4434755Why doesn’t everyone get mirrorless?
>>4437200New shooters do unless they're on a tight budget
