<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 4942637, member: 19463"]This is very true and is responsible for a couple of my photo habits. When I switched to my new mirrorless Canon RP I immediately fell in love with the setting that shows the exposure you will get on the image when you look through the finder or at the screen. Canon calls this 'Exposure Simulation'. The Sony a6100 is a good mirrorless so I suspect it would have a similar option buried in the menu but I have never touched a Sony so have no idea if or how. There is a fact of cameras. We tend to keep buying the same brand so we don't have to replace all our lenses when we get a new body. The Canon 70-200 I bought in 2006 is now serving on my fifth Canon body. For me to buy another brand now would be like buying a book in a language I do not read. I did not select my RP because of that feature but I am happy it is there for me. Shooting RAW allows a little more room for exposure error before the image falls apart but the more you can do to get it right in the first place, the better. I always shoot RAW and use manual exposure.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
