Its dying because the mechanical mirror in the DLSRs is not needed anymore with todays tech. So mirrorless cameras will make the game once ppl learn to not miss the click sound. They will simply get replaced with less complex and cheaper cameras.
- ghaff 8y agoOptical viewfinders are still better. And I say that as someone who has a Canon DSLR but shoots more with a Fujifilm X-E3 because it's a lot smaller and lighter. The day will certainly come when electronic viewfinders become dominant but there are still advantages to mirrors today.
- roywiggins 8y agoOptical viewfinders are great, but the tiny ones in consumer DSLRs are no fun compared to full-frame ones. Moving from a full-frame optical viewfinder in my film camera to the much smaller viewfinder in an APS-C DSLR was painful.
- ghaff 8y agoIt's not necessarily the sensor size. I never liked the Canon Rebel viewfinders but, as I recall, the higher end APS-C models were fine. (Personally, I didn't go to DSLRs before full-frame was relatively affordable and have a 5D MarkIII today.)
