The dilemma between choosing a Canon or Sony camera. Is it the photographer's new confusion?

Do you still stay at home and enjoy working from home?

By the way, do you also still stick with Canon DSLR cameras or choose mirrorless cameras from Sony? Maybe you will switch from Canon or Nikon and use Sony to make still photos and videos. Then what is your reason for surviving or switching from a DSLR camera, to a mirrorless camera or Micro Four Thirds?

The photographers, especially beginners who want to seriously pursue photography as a new profession or serious hobby, usually will have a great confusion to choose between Canon or Nikon camera. 

If Nikon or Canon enthusiasts meet when hunting photos in the wilderness, or during important news coverage among a crowd of journalist photographers, they will debate seriously about the greatness of each camera. 

Which one is more exciting? Sony or Canon? (sonyalpharumors.com)

However, if you observe among the millennial generation or Z being gathered while hunting photos or meet virtually in social media, it seems the debate about Canon VS Nikon cameras is no longer dominant.

Young people are not only preoccupied with talking about their choices about a new smartphone, which now greatly highlights the camera features, it turns out they are also very open to choosing a mirrorless camera, not just fascinated with DSLR cameras. As understood, the older generation certainly boasts more SLR or DSLR cameras, even analog cameras that still have many fans.

Unlike most senior photographers or professionals, the new generation of digital camera hobbyists apparently consider Sony's mirrorless cameras as the primary choice besides Panasonic, Olympus, Nikon or Fujifilm. It seems that Hasselblad or Leica is not the most popular choice, because it is so expensive that it will be kept in their minds as a dream if they become billionaires.

There are many reasons to choose or switch from a DSLR camera or choose a Sony mirrorless camera or another brand as the main camera in the bag of novice photographers, even true enthusiasts who make photography as their hobby or livelihood as a professional photographer. The reason they say is sometimes so blurry, like when you see the background of a bokeh portrait.

There are interesting things that may not be too well known about the history of Canon and Sony cameras. It is true that Canon as a camera manufacturer is more senior than Sony.

Quoted from the famous digitaltrends.com website, it turns out that Sony didn't start with film. Its first camera was the analog, but electronic, Mavica. The company then waited several years before launching the CyberShot series - still a designation for Sony compact cameras - in 1996. Have you ever used a Mavica camera?

Still, confused to choose between Canon VS Sony? (pinterest.com)

Marc Schultz, the famous photography writer on petapixel.com, tells an interesting experience. In Marc's writings in March 2018, he explained the reasons for switching from Canon to Sony cameras. "I was also starting to get more into video projects, which is where Sony mirrorless cameras seemed to really excel over Canon, and while offering a wider range of features and functions. Plus I was wanting a more lightweight camera setup that would be easier to carry around for capturing still photos while traveling overseas."

Marc's reason at that time was indeed right and reasonable because Canon wasn't too serious about developing mirrorless. Canon is very focused on developing its DSLR series and pocket cameras. Meanwhile before 2018, Olympus and Panasonic were very serious about developing and marketing MFT (Micro Four Thirds camera) cameras, with various lenses. 

Many people are amazed because there is a small-sized camera, and of course lighter, it turns out that you can easily change lenses like a DSLR camera. Lately, Canon and Nikon are very serious design and launch a new mirrorless camera. 

For young people, Sony is also known to have a variety of products, which seem intended to be connected to one another. That's why digitaltrends.com wrote the following sites:

Sony’s electronics arguably cross more categories than other camera companies, with the Sony name stamped on everything from video game systems to TVs, headphones, smartphones, and robots. And yes, Sony has a line-up of camcorders and professional cinema cameras, too. 

Do you also have a unique experience with this trend? Or you insist to stick with a DSLR camera, either Canon or Nikon. You are not tempted to convert to another "religion" called Sony.

The photographers of the older generation, even the new enthusiast still believes wholeheartedly that a DSLR camera or analog remains the top choice for art and their professional activities in the field of photography. 

Maybe you have more confidence in the old tropes, that when you're hunting or when a soldier on the battlefield, your weapons are not the most important, but because of the man behind the gun. It might be true, that no matter how sophisticated the camera you use to make portraits, landscape photos or great videos - the most important thing is how you master your camera both technically and creatively.
