The Sony A9, plain and simple, has made my job as a wedding photographer much easier and more hassle-free, while also allowing me to push my creativity in challenging shooting conditions. That’s the honest truth. I miss fewer moments in “normal” conditions, and I nail far more shots in “impossible” light.
I still love DSLRs. In fact, when doing photography more casually, I prefer to raise a camera to my eye and see the real world through an optical prism. I’ll probably always own a DSLR. However, when I have a job to do, when I need to work effectively, think creatively, and “deliver the goods” in the diverse array of conditions that a wedding presents, to me the future is clear.
You’re welcome to disagree with me, but I would strongly encourage you to at least keep an eye on mirrorless technology in general. Rent a camera you might be curious about. Invest the time in actually getting to know it and master its operation, too, before jumping to a conclusion.
In another 10 years, I think the realm of professional photography equipment will change even more than it has in the last 10 years.
