I switched back to DSLR and I am not the only one

Guys, as you know, a few months ago to DSLR cameras. And now someone seems to have taken the same path.

La Villa, 2022. Alex Coghe

I don’t want to say the name. I just say that he is a street photographer and he switched back, selling his Leica Q and purchasing a Nikon DSLR.

I know that the future is mirrorless, but still some photographers like to photograph with a DSLR because for example looking through an optical viewfinder is a completely different experience. Or maybe it will be the irresistible call to row against the current. In any case we the street photographers we were the first to applaud the drastic reduction in size and also the style that mirrorless cameras have brought to the world of photography. Then the brands got carried away by proposing mirrorless cameras that were large in size to reflex cameras and then someone like me doesn't really understand where the advantage would be. I only mention that a certain brand has proposed medium format that seem like a joke. And then someone like me, a street photographer who for ten years had only used mirroless and compact cameras, found himself using Canon's entry levels.

Let me clear: I don’t want a return of DSLRs. Especially now that they are about to get super cheap for all of us buying to the second-hand market. Here I just want to reflect with my readers on the fact that my choice is therefore not so wrong.
