Originally posted by normhead I suspect everyone wants it, just because it sounds cool... but showing that you actually get anything for it is different.
Good point.
'20' is certainly a higher number than '8', so it must be better, right? But, discussions on new cameras often neglect to talk about whether the higher performance (of any system parameter) affects the photographer's
outcomes. As you suggest, typically there is scant evidence given to show how the 'better' camera improves things for the user. For example:
Is the photography experience more enjoyable? How?
Is the camera easier to use? In what ways?
Does the lower-performing camera or DSLR produce at least a couple of great keeper shots?
Is the pro user making a higher profit with the more advanced camera or with their mirrorless system?
We rarely see comparisons of this nature.
In general, I don't find much difference in the images I see from dSLRs or mirrorless systems, if any.
