There are so many good ones these days, lighter and more capable. I like my Fuji mirrorless but everyone has their own preferences. jennyfreckleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12221511824958069710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-55035346551661136412022-06-08T09:05:40.900-04:002022-06-08T09:05:40.900-04:00Correction: My Sony is mirrorless, not shutterless...Correction: My Sony is mirrorless, not shutterless. The mirror in cameras vibrates when it moves, and the newer mirrorless cameras eliminate that motion.

I love it, it takes beautiful photos, but it is heavy. All DSLRs weigh a ton. And because of my mobility problems, these days I use my Samsung phone to take quick photos inside the house. I can't go downstairs to use Photoshop to process anything, so I put a 32 GB memory card in the phone to give me more space. Even "lesser" cameras now take high quality photos, so you'll find something you like.

They meant I had to figure out how my shot really would be interpreted and I just got frustrated completely. I love the iPhone which has minimal settings when taking the photos, then a few editing ones as well...and it sends them right to my computer, most of the time anyway, where I can further edit. But I admit a real micro or zoom lens would be nice to work with.Barbara Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08351113054045427775noreply@blogger.com
