Re: The Best Mirrorless Cameras According to 30 Experts
I disagree entirely. First of all, we have more people who go crazy for the absolute minute differences in quality now than ever before. All of these cameras do produce amazing images, but that doesn\'t stop people from still insisting that they could never shoot with inferior APS-C sensors (some in this thread outright dismiss anything not full frame) or that a 1/2 stop noise or dynamic range advantage makes all the difference to them.
If this list parroted an order of pure image quality (in which case everyone would have said A7R, A7II, A7S), it might point to that, but those of use who have direct experience with dozens of mirrorless cameras gravitate to those that do the other things well.
As to why do a listl like this? First: it\'s fun. Why does everything have to be so uptight online so much? Every time anyone publishes ANYTHING there\'s some guy deriding it as useless or whatever. Never mind the much larger proportion who actually enjoys reading about it. If you\'re not the target demo for the article, fine, but there are plenty of people who are the target audience.
Second, those of us who do this get this question CONSTANTLY. You have no idea how many PMs, Twitter DMs and emails I get that ask which camera should they get or how such and such compares to another, Or which is the best. (Note that I don\'t mind getting and answering these). The point here was, if you ask one person with a broad range of experience what they recommend, you get their opinion. If you ask 30, you can get some level of a consensus on where to start.
If you don\'t find it helpful, fine, but it can be somewhat helpful for a large portion of people who are looking to get into mirrorless but don\'t know where to start.

This list really is useless and ridiculous. It\'s really hard to pick up a bad camera today, if you pick up one of the manufacturer\'s best camera. The market today isn\'t like what it was 5 years ago when people were crazed about the \"best\" gear. I think these kind of lists really targets system jumpers, suffering from GAS. Unfortunately, the pandemic of gear lust has died down significantly. It turns out the cure for GAS was the smartphone and rising indifference.
