I find it interesting that it is the mirrorless guys that don't want their own forum, While the SLR shooters want them to. ![]()

Mirrorless Forum?

I like the idea of just changing the dSLR forum name to capture all interchangeable lens systems.
-
But it seems some of the dSLR users want to CONTINUE to have our OWN forum!
-
I think separate forums would be better and I am a 4/3 user
-
Yes prefer an EVIL forum
-
Yes, especially as it is a statement of fact, the forum is already common.
The forum "liquidity" does not vouch for further splitting, IMHO.
A side track: My experience is that there is less discussions here than a coupe of years ago. Why is that? Less interest in UW photography or are discussions held elsewhere (where?)? Or am I just mistaken :-)

I think that the "picture of the week" contest used to bring a lot more posters in. When that went bye-bye, it seemed like things jumped the shark a little bit.

A lot of competiton. Scubaboard has excellent forums for particualr brands, etc get more concentrated discussion. Plus Facebook discussions

With on-sensor phase detection autofocus systems already achieving speeds of 0.08 sec. (Fuji X-T1) and 0.06 sec. (Sony A-6000), and consumers demanding better video AF, there's a high liklihood that dSLRs may switch to on-sensor PDAF and mirrors will become obsolete in the near future. Then the "Mirror Forum" will become awfully quiet!
-
I think the dSLR is safe until the resolution of the mirrorless screens rival the detail seen in a quality viewfinder. This is especially true for supermacro photography, where autofocus is less useful.
-
it seems that there is a majority of DSLR members wanting a separate forum after all it says (DIGITAL DSLR HOUSINGS on the header) but nobody seems to be listening, how hard can it be to implement,
ps:- i do not have anything against mirrorless cameras both systems have there good points and bad i just think they are in a different category thats all.
-
I'm listening-but can't make it happen at present....
I should have (do have) the requisite permissions to create new forums, but it seems there is some kind of script preventing me doing so. I can't find it though

I will keep trying!
