No. I care that typicall DSLR allow me to take arround 700-1000 shoots in a row without needing to change the batery. I don't give a shit of the theoretical power a camera embbed as long as it does it job correctly and that it doesn't drain battery to much.
And again you are missing the point. What phones do or don't do isn't relative to the point. Battery life will also evolve as cameras demand more power in a smaller form. Since you want to use a phone reference, take a look at phone batteries 10 years ago compared to today. Also look at changes in processors that draw a fraction of the power that they use to while providing significantly more processing power. Nothing evolves in a vacuum.
Originally posted by Nicolas06 You conclude that a working mirrorless is going to be better than a faulty DSLR. I don't know for you, but I use an accurately working DSLR so I have no issue.
No. What I said was there are advantages. There have been some disadvantages as well, but those are disappearing as the EVF has gotten better.
Originally posted by Nicolas06 If I'am using an EVF I don't see how I can adjust white balence in a better way than if I do in post.
It's not about "better" it about seeing the image exactly as the sensor sees it.
Originally posted by Nicolas06 I can first shoot a card or something as a reference first
If you shoot a gray card at sunrise or sunset do you know what happens to your white balance? Yes. You can fix everything in post. That't not the point.
Originally posted by Nicolas06 I don't want to spend time post processing while shooting. I prefer to be more in what happen at the moment in the real life.
Nobody is talking about taking time to process while shooting.
Originally posted by Nicolas06 For me I find I can do more, faster with a computer. This is because a computer is typically:
- much more powerfull
- has instant access to many more settings/options
- has a big high quality screen that allow to better preview what you do.
Sports and News photographers don't spend much time processing images. News photographers are typically shooting JPEG and uploading them before they are old news. You might not realize this but there is a huge percentage of the professional photographic community that either shoots JPEG or batch processes RAW files with presets.
In the near future your camera will have more processing power than the computer you are currently using. The Samsung NX-1 already has more power than most laptops or tablets. We are talking about the future, not what your computer can do today.
There are a large number of working photographers who travel and can't carry around a pair of 27" Ezio Color Edge Monitors and tower. Last time I was in New York I had coffee with two professionals who are using mirrorless cameras, iPads, & Adobe Cloud to do the majority of their work. I don't know exactly how that works, but they were very happy with the quality and faster workflow. I'm still pretty happy with my 2 monitors and tower, but the industry is very diverse.

Even the Mac Pro cannot encode H.265 anywhere near real-time without dedicated hardware to do the job."
I know. I'm trying to explain it to people how much of a step forward the NX-1 is in terms of camera technology. There are many reasons why the camera might no sell well, but its still impressive.
