The problem with mirrorless

Someday we’ll call it a camera with interchangeable lenses.

I’m worried about photography.

Today’s cameras include video settings, flip screens, and lengthy menus, and what’s missing is a simpler experience with durable build quality.

DSLRs, with their flaws, were for photographers.

On flip screens, I prefer fully articulating ones that flip inward to face the camera and love seeing a blank camera back. I don’t want to press my nose against the display when looking through a view finder.

Advanced imaging technology is great and has made our lives better; however, I long for the simplicity of a Pentax K1000 spooling a modest roll of Tri-X 400.

Perhaps a simpler experience popularized the Ricoh GR, where the aim is to focus on image making more than settings and features, straight out of the box.

We replaced cameras with phones, and there’s a special place in my heart for people who take pictures with mobile tablets.

Perhaps, there’s demand for new digital rangefinder cameras.
