I dont disagree with any of it. Canon and Nikon need to get innovating.
I`m having a lot of fun with my 70D right now but when I`m ready to jump into FF. I`ll look into mirrorless. Seems like the future. Good food for thought.Mirrorless Revolution
Recently Michael and I sat down and made the video below, The Mirrorless Revolution. We discuss the move to mirrorless and why both of us have adopted it and why we enjoy it and what we think of the present offerings in this market. Plus, Michael sends a message to Nikon and Canon.

@donsullivan The A7r is perhaps the most temperamental and "specialized" mirrorless. Loud shutter, weird spot for shutter release, and slow autofocus. It was the first generation of FF mirrorless that seemed more like niche camera. Great to carry on a long hike, put on a tripod and take amazing shots of grand vistas. Others have used it successfully as a full time camera, dealing with it's handicaps. The A7 af is much better as is the A7s. The A7s also has silent shutter option. On the APS-C side, the A6000 af is on par with a DSLR. On the Fuji side, the body/ergonomics is better thought out, the native lens options are impressive but the conversion of the RAW files isn't great. Fujis are wonderful for JPG shooters. Hopefully we are close to one manufacturer putting it all together....
Regarding dynamic range. The Nex-7 received the highest DXO and DR score (at the time) of any aps-c camera and better than several FF cameras. Likewise the A7r has amazing DR. I don't know why the loss of a mirror would affect DR. If anything it would make it better.
Ive read and heard photographers discuss how the Dynamic Range isn't quite there. Again, that's something Id have to test myself as I look for different things than someone else might. I also don't see how the mirror would make a difference in that aspect.
If you wanna throw a lens or FF camera body my way, that's cool.I've seen some of those reports as well and many try to blame it to the Sony Compressed RAW format used in the A7 series of cameras. I've never seen anyone prove it, just something they could point to that 'might' cause it.
My baseline was a 5D3 so the DR I see in my a7R files is dramatically improved vs what I was used to. I just got a D810 the other day and I'll be interested to compare it to what I was getting out of the a7R over the last 6 months.
