My Sony a7 mirrorless solves basically all of the issues you have described.
The menu hierarchy isn't flat.
Physical knobs for everything, even customizable. Touch to focus (though I prefer using the ring tbh).
BT/WiFi transfer. A bit slow (2-3 sec for a 50mb raw photo) but fine for what I need. I use a USB-c SD reader for my phone and sync the entire card to an SD card in my smartphone.
Full size HDMI built in.
I don't think I would say that cameras are dead, it's just that it's a hobbyist thing now. Most of my friends would never buy a camera except a cheapy one like an Instax for fun, they're not dropping a grand on an f1.4 35mm.
- solardev 2y agoThanks for the suggestion! I don't have much money right now, but really miss SLR-like photography. I've long eyed the Alphas with envy, and now that I no longer have any Canon lenses anyway, maybe my next one will be a Sony instead once I can afford one. Can I ask how your experience with the electronic viewfinder has been? Is it as fast and clear as a traditional dSLR's optical viewfinder?
- throwaway22032 2y agoI find it indistinguishable and in some ways better. At least 60fps maybe more. You can tell that it is a screen because of the HUD etc but it doesn't "feel" like one in practice. I hear that the newer ones are better still. If you go to a camera shop they should let you try it, that's how I went for mine.
- solardev 2y agoGreat, good to hear. I'll look forward to one if I ever make enough money again :) Thank you.
- stephenitis 2y agoI jumped from a 216 Canon 80D to a Sony A7RV. It was sort of an insane jump but I'm having an amazing experience. I told the wife I'd take very nice photos of a kid to try to justify the cost. The glass alone can be $750- 1-3k. I'm borrowing glass rn.
