Here Are 10 Things to Consider Before Purchasing a Mirrorless Camera

It's fairly safe to say the number of mirrorless options available to photographers is exploding at the moment, and you may be considering purchasing such a camera yourself. Here are 10 things to think about before you purchase a specific model. 

Coming to you from Pierre T. Lambert, this helpful video talks about 10 things to consider before purchasing a mirrorless camera (though many of the points apply readily to DSLRs as well). Mirrorless cameras are advancing at a breakneck pace, and many pros are embracing them for the advantages they offer. Nonetheless, just like with DSLRs, no model is perfect, and there are a lot of functionality and user experience differences between models that you should carefully consider when deciding which to purchase, particularly if you're locking yourself into a new mount and lens ecosystem. I've personally had a lot of success using my Sony a7R III for landscapes, portraits, and some events, but I've found that autofocus performance using adapted lenses generally isn't fast enough for things like baseball, and because there are certain lenses that don't exist in the Sony ecosystem, my second body remains a Canon 1D X Mark II for a lot of work. It all comes down to your needs and desires.
