Originally posted by kenafein Can't get away from it. There are people who turn their nose up at MILC users as well, however. Some people won't take MILCs seriously, and perceive DSLRs as superior, simply because they're not an SLR. If you took a K100D and a NEX 5N, I bet most people would tell you that the K100D is the superior camera, by looks alone. I'll always have a soft spot for my old K100D, but they would be mistaken. Most of these people are of the sort that enjoy an image and say, you have a really nice camera or internet jerks; but there are also serious photographers that won't give these great little cameras their due. I think the mirrorless camera will win out in the end. And not necessarily because of form factor, but because they will be cheaper to produce in the long run. Sony is going to be making DSLR sized and styled mirrorless cameras for the A-mount. They consider that their high end, pro, line. I certainly wouldn't want to shoot a 70-200/2.8 with a NEX 5N.
Yeah, but I don't see people claiming that the MILC choice must/will disappear (maybe with the exception of obvious trolls).
Considering one option or another "superior" (but this must be qualified) is OK. Considering it the only rational choice in every circumstance, call those who wants something else names and ask for camera manufacturers to fully switch to it, is not OK.
In this thread, you were talking about what you like about your NEX; and I could talk as well, about why I want a good optical viewfinder and can't stand EVFs. We're both right; we just have different preferences - and I don't see this as a "fight" which must be "won" by a camp or another.
But the MILC propaganda wants to deny us our right to choose, and since the MILC market won't naturally evolve into taking over the entire market, they're trying to make it happen by spreading FUD, misinformation and "predictions" that blatantly ignore reality.
