The Best Mirrorless Cameras According to 30 Expert Photography Bloggers
03/20/2015 12:47:54 PM · #2
Just like I thought, my camera is the problem...

Probably the cameras most would expect in a list like this. Interesting to see the Ricoh GR included by a few. I bumped into somebody shooting with a Leica M and the Ricoh. If you're are looking for something discreet and small it's worth a look.

I'm definitely keen on getting a Ricoh GR (i've just got to sort out more work related cameras first). They look fantastic and just the sort of camera to carry everywhere. In fact i had one of the original GR digital (from 2005 or so) for a while last year and loved it. I had it set to a very high contrast black and white and just left it at that. A very beautifully designed camera it just handled perfectly. My four year old daughter loved it as well but unfortunately it broke. I'd definitaly get one again.

Our own Focuspoint has been seriously smitten by the iPhone as well. He's been knocking out some good stuff with it.

A pretty meaningless article. What they should have asked these bloggers/reviewers is what mirrorless cameras systems was the best. Lenses are equally important to camera bodies and they stick around a lot longer than the bodies.

Just remember: An "Ex" is a has been and a "spurt" is a drip under pressure. Put the two together and you have an "expert"

About 10 years back, I had a coworker who used to say that anytime he was called an expert.

Well, sometimes "X" marks the spot and a spurt is a sudden advance ...

I think the "exper" here is for experience with a lot of different equipment. Not something that most consumers can say. I don't know what the "t" stands for :)

I guess that applies here as well...over time they have experience with a lot of different equipment.

An "expert", in the brave new world of the internet, is someone with an opinion and a blog...

For camera reviews I go to Steve Huff or Kai W. They seem reasonable and entertaining.

It's a good camera. But to say it's one of the three best out if all he had access to is dumb. it doesn't even shoot raw. My HTC m8 rivals the iPhone but it doesn't even compare to my sony rx100. It's not even a fair contest. I shot both on a recent construction site visit early in the morning and the sony just blew it away.

I'm very close to getting a Fujifilm X100S. I've rented the X100S and X100T and found no difference worth the extra money.

What I want is the best point and shoot with manual settings. No switching of lenses. The X100S has worked really well for me. The one thing I envied about Henry's Olympus is that the viewfinder folds up so you can look down at the camera and sneak candids. But I don't want the multiple lenses.

The GRD3 and I have gotten into a lot of trouble together. But, yes, compact, functional, a pleasure to hold, and a cinch to operate. Anything in the Ricoh GR line is worth a serious look.

Where did you rent from? I'd like to try something out. Thanks.

Whatever you do, stay away from the RX1, or you'll be subsisting on Ramen for a year...

Just buy one lens. Good glass will last for several generations of camera bodies. An yes, the tilt LCD screen has been very useful.

I like the Fuji sensor a lot. Wish mine supported tethered shooting like the XT1 though. I would love an A7s for night shooting but couldnt afford one.

The iPhone 6 (I have the plus) has a damn good camera but obviously not for all conditions.

I haven't taken my 5d Mk II out of the bag since buying an X100T. You're right about the differences with the X100S though. I liked the improve,eats to the viewfinder and the wireless. Bottom line is both are amazing cameras with remarkable image quality
