That slapping mirror
in [Digital Cameras]
|
From: Alfred Molon on 6 Jul 2008 16:16 Took the plunge and just bought my first DLSR. Could so far afford the luxury of using cameras without slapping mirrors (my last camera was a Sony R1). Well, this slapping mirror is really an earthquake. When you press the shutter, it makes the entire camera vibrate. I'm still awaiting delivery of a 70-300mm lens, but I'm wondering if this slapping mirror will compromise sharpness at long focal lengths. What is the solution here? Using MLU for every shot can't be an option. -- Alfred Molon ------------------------------ Olympus 50X0, 8080, E3X0, E4X0, E5X0 and E3 forum at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/MyOlympus/ http://myolympus.org/ photo sharing site

Using MLU for every shot can't be an option. Without knowing the specific camera, it's hard to comment. But all of the DSLRs I've heard are much quieter than their 35mm predecessors, and definitely more quiet than a medium format.

Using MLU for every shot can't be an option. The solution is to not worry about mirror slap. Worry about camera motion due to your own hands moving the camera when you press the button. The mirror simply does not cause problems. Apparently the designers know how to design cameras, at least Canon and Nikon do. Doug McDonald

The Elan 7 was well noted for very quiet mirror slap. My Maxxum 9 woke up dead people on occasion. -- -- r.p.e.35mm user resource: http://www.aliasimages.com/rpe35mmur.htm -- r.p.d.slr-systems: http://www.aliasimages.com/rpdslrsysur.htm -- [SI] gallery & rulz: http://www.pbase.com/shootin -- e-meil: Remove FreeLunch. |
