Are DSLRs in danger of becoming irrelevant? Dinosaurs waiting to extinct? Three years ago that seemed unthinkable.
Now, with electronic viewfinder interchangeable lens cameras — some call them EVILs — becoming increasingly trendy, that seemed to be a question not many can afford to dismiss. With cameras like Samsung NX10 and Panasonic G2 coming into the market, other camera makers had better take notice or else…
Anyway, here is a comparison chart between the NX10 and G2, both are mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras, one with a APS-C size sensor, the other a standard four-thirds.
