I believe that this development puts us one step away from availabilty of cameras that remove the need for both mechanical shutters as well as mirror mechanisms. All that is required is to step up the MP count to match current generation counts.

OK there are still issues with modern EVF (electronic viewfinders) as the pixel count needs to reach 5-6MP (I believe) to truly replace the mirror and pentaprism viewing system but the pixel count is now in excess of 3.7MP in the EVF.

I expect that by 2020 that cameras with mirrors and pentaprisms will be antique technology.

Not based on current offerings. They are a long way off being a panacea for all photographic genre.

Then again, what do I know? I was present when the first trial production run of a new snack food took place. I said categorically they would never catch on as an alternative to crisps. They were Hula Hoops. :lol:

Having used the Fuji for bird photography recently, viewfinder black out and battery drain are a serious issue. They need to sort those two imposters out to win my vote for total mirrorless photography.

I regard them, as we do when looking back at the shoe size mobile phones we saw in the 80s. Whether they can, or have the will to, sort out the primitive nature of mirrorless in 2 years, is debatable.

Of course, the car industry has to sort out ITS battery life issues pdq ....so may be there will be technology spin off

Current cameras have mirror slap and blackout issues.
The biggest problem with current EVF is that they are <3MP so arent as good as pentaprism and mirror technology. When >5MP EVF comes which is by 2020 probably then old tech is dead in the water.

And I am eagerly anticipating the delivery of an Intrepid 8x10 camera this spring. :lol:

I am not sure I regard that as a big negative for me. It's less of an irritation than the blackout issue and the battery life.

But I confess I have been challenging the Fuji and myself trying to shoot small birds in the garden...and having some success. Either the camera or I are getting a bit better at tracking fast moving small birds. :lol:

Of course it slows them down if you chuck a few peanuts about.

Practice makes perfect ;-)

I shoot more and more with my Fuji XT2 but the D850 produces incredible output.

Would that be the obsolete, out of date, antique camera?

Sorry about that Bob....will put advance health warning on any future nut postings. :lol:

In fact it may be sensible to give health warning s with all my Fuji shots. :lol:

You are safe with this one ....

I still thin they have a long way to go before the masses doing wildlife photography use them.

March tit D500 & sigma 150-600mm

Next time I post a pic I must over sharpen it and it might look right on the forum.

I thought that you got it spot on. Look at the feathers around the head. Visible and just the merest hint of halo!

Very nice Iain....on two counts....the sharpness and the lack of branches!

I can see I will have to leave my armchair and stop shooting through double glazing and get the wifes agreement to savagely prune the trees in the garden. :lol:
