THE WINNER IS... CANON EOS 5D Mk IV
Mirrorless may be the future, but the future’s not brighter than DSLRs just yet
anon’s mirrorless APS-C format
cameras have really come of age, with
the introduction of the high-end EOS
M5 and beginner-friendly M50. They’re top,
compact cameras, capable of ace results. But,
the 250D DSLR is a more intuitive camera for
beginners. Similarly, the up-market 77D wins
against the M5 for enthusiast-grade handling.
In all cases, the optical viewfinders of the
DSLRs give a clearer view that’s superior. The
flipside is that the EVFs of mirrorless’ give the
bonus of displaying the effect of exposure and
WB settings in real time.
For full-frames, the 5D Mk IV is worth its extra
weight in refinement, compared with the EOS R.
Access to advanced settings is more direct and
the dual card slots enable instant backups. For
a more budget-friendly option, the 6D Mk II is a
clear winner over the RP, offering an experience
better suited to enthusiast photographers.
