I shall pop in tomorrow and get my commission from them!

😉

They're a good bunch in there so always happy to give them a shout out

There's one in the window at York Camera Mart at the moment. 199 with standard prime

Few different lenses too.

Try giving them a ring.

Great.... Except I don't have a KP, and the mirrorless kit was under 400 gbp, so a fraction of the price of that set up.

Unless they've shrunk a KP and I haven't read about it, my Sony mirrorless must be at least half the size and weight.

Anyway, the point is, why do people have to get worked up about it and argue the way they happen to prefer is better?

I like both, at different times. I'd never get rid of my DSLR, but there are times where mirrorless works for me.

Can't things just be different? Like film and digital? Why do we have to put one over the other, then try and convince other people our preference is "right" or more valid?

Genuine question, not aimed at anybody in particular

Nothing 'up the nose' here.

As others say, one doesn't have to be better than the other. I've got both and grab one over the other for various different reasons at different times.

We recently had a family get together. I found being able to tilt the screen and hold a small camera down at waist level got me a lot of great candid snaps I would have struggled to get on my DSLR.

As much as I love my k30, there are definitely times where holding it up to your eye to take a candid shot puts people on notice, or on edge, and that tends to reduce the chance of a natural shot.

I also think even if you do get the shot you want, in an informal setting like that people will soon feel less relaxed if they think they're getting snapped at any given moment (which I can understand).

Some people commented they didn't realise I had even been shooting when I sent them the pictures later that day.

I think I saw one in the window of York Camera Mart last week

Give them a ring and they'll soon tell you.

Bump

I'd be delighted for you if you did, but I doubt you'll get close to that price!

It's the fa1w viewfinder.

No idea what that is worth by itself....

How silly of me to overlook that!

It has a viewfinder but I'll need to check which when I get home.

Cost I mentioned was to include the viewfinder.

Would consider splitting the body and viewfinder if needs be.
