With buying my K33, I started getting back into watching a lot more YouTube videos on photography. It doesn't matter if it's nature, landscapes, whatever...
1) Many have switched to mirrorless, especially the street photographers who want the autofocus to pick out people. When you have the incredible eye-tracking of platforms like the Sony, it makes it a no-brainer to be using something like that. Compose your shot and the eye-AF sticks like glue when you need it to. The keeper rate is higher and it makes for much more natural shooting than focus-recompose. It takes the 'staging' out of a shot.
2) A movable screen, whether tilty, flippy or articulating simply means more creative ways to capture a scene. Who really wants to leave a cell phone tethered via WiFi for shooting?
Two of my favorite youTube channels so far are '
fototripper' and
Julia Trotti. In watching their videos it's clear how they're able to wring so much more out of their cameras.
Do I like my K33? Yes, it's an excellent camera, but it's still an APS-C DSLR. The photographers who I have been drawing inspiration from (and why I upgraded from the K5 to the K33 in the first place to renew my interest in the hobby) are showing how things like the flip screen and eye-AF can really improve their work.
