Photography white essential knowledge articles one: SLR or micro-single

When white people chose the camera, they believed that they would encounter this problem.

The menu looks very professional, the quality should be very good, but it seems to be very heavy, and so many buttons, it will not be difficult to operate it?

Micro-selection? Very small and exquisite, looks like a fool, buttons are relatively few, it should be relatively easy to operate it, travel should be very convenient, but the picture quality will not be much worse than a lot of ah?

(First of all, one thing must be clarified: micro-single has already been registered as a trademark by Sony. Actually, microsingle is the common name for non-reflective, interchangeable-lens cameras. The abbreviation is not anti-I think that micro-single is better to understand. So this article The camera for this kind of interchangeable lens is called micro-single.)


To buy a camera, we are most concerned about the quality of the picture. Then, is there a gap between the micro-single and SLR? Does the bigger machine mean better picture quality?

To answer this question, we must first understand the camera imaging part, of course, this part is very important for the quality of the camera. (There is also a part of the lens, assuming the same effect of the lens)

In the era of film cameras, there was no doubt that this burden fell on the film.

Now, the responsible part is a semi-conductor device called coms or ccd. As long as this device is great, the camera equipped with this coms will be very good (of course, the quality is not just coms . After all, coms can only convert various optical information it feels into electronic information, similar to 1 and 0, and then it is converted back to the screen we see on the screen by various factory's algorithms. For example, Panasonic GX1 is a micro-single, coms. The quality is really great, but the photos she takes are not satisfactory. This is because the manufacturer's algorithm does not work.) But in short, coms is a very important part of the quality of the picture. This part is very good. It means that the picture quality is probably not bad. ( coms is the blue-green square in the middle of the camera in the picture below)

Here is a chestnut. There is a micro-single wood and a SLR sharing a coms. Some of them use their image quality to compare. If the quality is similar, can not confirm my point of view? Really!

The Sony a7r generation shares a coms with the Nikon d810, which is a 36.3-megapixel coms manufactured by Sony.

Dxo is a machine that specializes in evaluating the quality of the camera. Since I don't have a two-day machine at hand, I can only use this institution's rating to compare their image quality.

It can be seen that Dxo's score on a7r of d810 is only 2 points. This 2 points is mainly reflected in the last item, which means that the performance of d810 shooting in the evening is better than that of a7r. It is only about 100 higher. The actual use should be no difference. In other words, the same coms SLR and micro-single, in addition to the manufacturer's algorithm, the image quality level should be the same! ! !

So, in the end is to choose SLR or micro-single, for the preparation of learning to learn white, my opinion is to decisively choose micro-single, here are a few reasons for me:

1: There are a variety of appearances of micro-single to choose from, and not only the appearance of almost all SLR (I believe many people like me feel the SLR is the same...) If you value the appearance, you can choose retro taste full Fuji or Olympus, or stylish Panasonic, if you value the cost-effective quality, you can choose Sony's micro-single (such as a6000 a7), it will not be worse than the same price SLR picture quality, of course, Fujitsu and other micro-single The quality is not bad.

In a word, if you are the appearance party, you can look at Fuji, Olympus's micro-single. Focus on the practical, you can see sony Panasonic Canon.

2: Micro-Utility with Electronic Viewfinder is stronger than SLR

The SLR is equipped with an optical viewfinder. Because SLR is the largest aperture finder, he can't reflect your real-time exposure. That is, the picture you see through the viewfinder is bright, but the picture you take may be dark (more common in manual m block). Although the SLR displays information to remind you of the exposure (green bar at the top of the image below), there is still no real-time exposure. After all, sometimes some of the more exposed (such as taking some Japanese-style photos) sometimes underexposed (such as shooting the sky or the lake), but the machine is the machine, it can only give you an accurate exposure and not a suitable exposure .

On the other hand, micro-single, which is equipped with an electronic viewfinder, says that it is to reduce the size of your mobile phone screen and put it in a black box, and then open your mouth to your eyes. It's your phone screen. What you see is what it looks like.

You can know what his exposure is before you take a picture and give you an intuitive impression. To add one sentence: Not all micro-singles have electronic viewfinders, and the lower ones use the screen for framing. It is recommended to purchase electronic viewfinders.

3: The micro-single is of course smaller and lighter than the SLR. It saves some unnecessary structures and can therefore be miniaturized and light-weighted.

Why do many people buy SLRs? Excluding the reasons for installing professional equipment, SLR still has its advantages:

1: How many old and famous manufacturers have made SLR, SLR has been developed for more than 50 years, all kinds of structures are more stable, high reliability, electronic SLR development is also 10 years earlier than micro-single, so in the algorithm (experience in image processing ) is better than micro-single. For example, photos of Canon and Olympus's micro singles are more comfortable with Panasonic's Sony and others.

Nikonui, Canon Mei, Pantex get drunk (without brain pentax powder...)

2: Single opposition is due to micro-single, more accurate and faster, but under the efforts of Panasonic Sony and other factories, the focus of micro-single and SLR has not much difference, the focus of micro-single can fully meet the needs of daily life (please ignore Sigma )

3: SLR one battery can take 1000 to 2000 photos, while micro-single can only take 300 shots (because the micro-single coms is responsible for taking pictures and is responsible for viewing, so the power consumption increases) but we can pass a battery To solve.

4: SLR operation is more convenient, after all, a lot of buttons, various parameters to facilitate the adjustment, but in daily life simple pictures do not need to be so troublesome, general micro-single will be able to meet the operational needs, of course, there are also like gx8 pen-f xt2 a7 series etc. Operate a special professional micro list.

Getting Started Micro

Professional SLR

Professional micro-single

All in all, go out to buy SLR or x photography lessons must be (or use under extreme conditions, such as Brazil, Iraq, Pakistan), I strongly recommend micro-single, after all, it can meet your non-dangerous regional tourism, family life records, learning photography skills The basic and even more professional requirements, such as for an easy-to-use tool and a hard-to-use tool, if they all meet my requirements, I will not hesitate to choose more easily. SLR is of course helpful for you to learn professional photography, but it is too difficult to get used to (it is still relatively simple to play, it is difficult to play professional).

In terms of prices, micro-singles and SLRs have different price points. Panasonic Fujitsu some machines Olympus and other plunges are relatively fast, you can wait and see to buy, SLR nikon and pentax is more conscience, with the price of the material than the same price canon enough.

It is generally preferred to buy shots because they are relatively safe.

Amazon's Fuji camera prices have been relatively good, such as xt10 (as far as possible to buy a machine with xf lens, the quality is good, xc is commonly known as dog head)

Jingdong Sony camera prices are good, such as a7

Olympus Lynx prices are good like em5 mark2


Panasonic, Pentax's machine recommended Haitao, the price difference is obvious.

Next time I prepare to introduce three important parameters related to photography iso aperture shutter speed.
