As early as a few years ago, there was a popular saying in the photography circle: the non-reflective camera is the future, and the status of the SLR will be replaced in more than a decade. If you look at it now, it seems that this sentence is about to become a reality.

Perhaps at that time, some photography enthusiasts with flagship machines would be very unconvinced, thinking that SLR was the most professional equipment in photography, and that SLR was more like a recreational toy.

But a very cruel reality is that in order to cater to the trend and expand profits, many camera manufacturers have long thought and done so.

We all know that Sony is one of the earliest manufacturers in terms of non-reflective cameras, launching the world's first full-frame non-reflective cameras, the A7 and A7r, as early as 2013.

Since then, other major manufacturers have stepped up their pace to follow. Fuji and Panasonic have gradually become leaders in the era of no rebellion, and traditional big companies such as Canon and Nikon are also secretly making efforts.

In July 2022, Nikon announced that it would stop the development of new SLR models and will focus on the development of non-reverse Z models, such as Z6, Z9 and so on.

Nikon, as a traditional big factory born in the military industry, this move clearly reflects the changing situation in the industry.

The same is true of Canon, which announced as early as 2021 that the EOS-1D X Mark III will be its last SLR camera and will expand the market for SLR cameras in the future.

Therefore, from the current point of view, it is not an exaggeration to hear that the SLR will be replaced by a non-reflective camera within more than a decade. Although there were all kinds of defects in the SLR at that time, such as insufficient battery life, insufficient related accessories, especially insufficient lens, poor imaging level, etc., but now almost all of these problems have been solved and developed their own advantages:

First of all, the fuselage is light and good-looking, which is more in line with the vision of young people today, and it is also more convenient to carry.

Secondly, the video shooting function is powerful, and many models also have their own filter, anti-shake and other functions, which is more convenient.

The third is to break through the limit of shutter life to a certain extent, and the shutter speed can be comparable to or even exceed the flagship SLR models.

There is also an advantage, in comparison, the entry-level non-reflective camera has a higher performance-to-price ratio, which is more conducive to capture the psychology of consumers.

For the major manufacturers, the lower cost and more profitable non-reflection camera is also an important reason to promote the rapid development of non-reflection camera.

Friends who are still using SLR cameras need not worry. Although they do not develop new SLR models, many mainstream SLR models are still on sale, and there will be no problems in maintenance and support, and there is no need to rush to change the machine. at present, the comprehensive level of SLR is still very excellent.

For friends who want to buy a new machine, no anti seems to be more in line with the trend, but as long as the budget is enough, whether it is to buy a top SLR or no SLR will have nothing to lose.

The rapid updating iteration of equipment also reflects from the side that technology and equipment are not the most important for photography, no matter how fast you learn, it is difficult to keep up with the speed of development, and aesthetics is the foundation of photography level.
