    All the research I've done on the mirrorless cameras brought me to the conclusion that they are just as good as any DSLR you can get.

    Except in a couple ways.

    1. Weather sealing. You can't find a mirror less that will match the weather sealing of a 7D which you can get for about the same price of the new mirrorless ones. So if you are going to be in wet or very dusty weather you may want to consider that.

    2. Focus speed. Even the latest Mirrorless are just not at the level that DSLR's are at. I've talked to a photographer who bought a Sony NEX-7 and planned on switching over for good just to end up taking everything back due to the fact that she could not get good focus while shooting her kids! This was very important to her she took a lot of photos of her kids and in low light situations she could not grab focus as well as her old 5DMK2. Obviously this would be an issue for sports photography. (I'm sure someone can explain the diff in technology of how this works. Something to do with contrast detection vs. phase detection.)

    So those are the two factors that keep me from switching over. Oh and of course the amount of lenses you can use.

    • You can use 7D as a weapon... no mean it. it's that touch... with out the lens of course.pango
    • i've lost my typing skill lately...pango
