Half a Year Ago, I Went Back to DSLRs. I Don’t Regret It

You should know that I'm writing this article on the day of the Sony a7r VI launch. The new camera has a lot going for it that I'd probably like: a bigger viewfnder for low-vision photographers, megapixels galore, lots of good lenses, weather resistance, a new battery, and AI assistance. It still doesn't do a lot of what I'd want it to, though. This, ultimately got me thinking: I don't need a new camera. You see, half a year ago, I bought a Nikon D850 simply because I was so sick of feeling like modern cameras were doing all the work for me. Even when I disabled so many of the settings that do this, it still felt as if it was being forced on me like your employer forces you to use AI. I've realized something: DSLRs are still pretty much as capable as your mirrorless camera is.
