In this tutorial we look at a comparison between Mirrorless and DSLR cameras for portrait photography. In this photoshoot I mainly used the Sigma 85mm 1.4 Art lens. We discuss the camera equipment I used for the photoshoot, the camera settings, as well as discuss comparisons between mirrorless and DSLR systems, and the pros and cons of each!

Your model really knows her angles. Amazing content

Thanks for the video, it's really well made and the model is beautifull.
Funny that by guessing I always liked most the dslr images, somehow the less computerised focus looks more real.
BTW I tried to change my dslr for a mirrorless, and I discovered that right now is not the right moment,
the main problems noone ever points out, are:

1-the (best) electronical viewfinder works only with good to low light, at night you just see noise, that is a great problem if you want to shot stars or the milky way or really dark places. Plus if you don't have a good viewfinder you have issues also in lowlight (the delay issue is a common argument that comes on top of it).
2- all the mirrorless that have a good viewfinder (like the lumix) are as big and as heavy as the dslr.
3- the good lenses are heavy, so if you put on a "light" mirrorless a 2kg lens you have not solved the weight issue.

everithing comes at an way higher price than a similar dslr for have "almost" the same image quality and a bounch of limitations more.
My question was, is it worth the 30% higher price for doing the same stuff in fancier way?
The marketing says yes.
I will wait 10 more years.

I have no problems with DSLR cameras, if you have them, learn to use them better. These are cameras that have proven their great advantages for many years.

I didn't try to guess which image was from which camera at first, I just picked the image I found more pleasing. It was the DSLR, and it was the DSLR in every photo going forward. In the jpeg in the red dress, I found the contrast of the Canon to be much better. I'm watching on a calibrated retina display, and there is something I just don't like about the Sony that I can't quite quantify. As far as the viewfinder goes, I really prefer to shoot through an optical view finder. I am in my 40's, so it's what I'm used to and I have to admit bias can play into it. I just hope that DSLR sticks around. Also, I love a big camera. I find my DSLR too small without a batter grip because I have large hands. The size and the weight are a plus for me personally.

I like to photograph landscapes and cityscapes and use a Nikon D800 and Canon 5Ds, I'd love to get an R5 but the price is prohibitive and I'm not sure I could do better landscapes with it so I'll stick my my old dSLR's and lenses and focus on getting better without buying a new camera and lenses and other gear! BTW, this is an awesome video with great example of both for people who have an interest in portrait photography!

[delanescott]

the DSLR pics just look better to me straight out of the camera.

[Cotictimmy]

If the megapixel count was going to be an important issue then surely the Sony should have been tested against the Canon 5DSr or Nikon D850. Also if the comparison is aimed at novices then yes the mirrorless is going to easier to learn, but an experienced DSLR shooter will do just fine. I massively prefer a traditional an optical viewfinder over an EVF, so I'd plump for the D850 as it more modern and versatile than the 5DSr.

[geraldineelizabeth]

Great vid. I likehow you did a voiceover whilst showing footage. Much more engaging .

[stephen]

I liked the look of the DSLR images better. D850 will be my next camera.

[harleyrider]

The Canon didn’t slightly misfocus, the photographer did. That part really screws up the comparison. If you are shooting single focus point in a portrait session how the hell can you miss the eye if your square is in the eye and if the model stops to pose for you? Yeah eye AF is great and it’s a luxury to have but totally not necessary to get proper eye focus on a subject. It’s a feature.

[aleale.]

Both of them are incredible. If I have the opportunity to use every kind of cameras I think I will make similar photos 😮

[gamechanger]

I have no money for buy any camera but still I am watching this video 😅

[vaporjoes]

It matters A LOT on how the camera looks and feels. Mirrorless camers are like baby cameras almost like a bridge camera.

[anidiotdoessht]

Canon colors are still better though when shooting jpeg

[dewaherryoka]

If you really want to compare about DSLR vs Mirrorless, I think u should compare from the same brand. Because lens coating & collour character would be different in canon and sony brand, it would affect the result significantly beside the system (DSLR/Mirrorless).

[shaneikiyasteel]

I appreciate how you gave your preference but you pointed out the benefits of a Mirrorless for portraits with the Autofocus and light weight and then you mentioned how it all depends on the skill level of the photographer.

[Rset]

But the smaller size and weight isn't always a good thing. When shooting long sessions mainly with heavier lenses you need to get a good hold of your camera. With A7III that's impossible for me without a grip and even with a grip the buttons and dials are cramped in to a too small space. And Sony lenses are as heavy or even heavier than the Canon /Tamron i use so no help there.

[sheraz]

Somehow I like the colors of DSLR better in these photos. I don't know whether it is because of Canon vs. Sony or DSLR vs. Mirrorless. It would have been better if both cameras were from the same company preferably same lens too.

[mupicap]

If you zoom the picture, u can see the diffrent. For me Dslr can produce great detail picture.
