Is it time to say goodbye to your DSLR?
Are mirrorless cameras really the future of dental photography?
If your DSLR is still working perfectly, should you upgrade now or wait for the right time?
Jaz is joined by Dr. Ashish Soneji in this game-changing episode to discuss the death of the DSLR and why the shift to mirrorless cameras is inevitable.
They break down whether you should proactively switch or strategically hold off, plus what this means for your existing lenses.
You’ll also learn the rules of mix and match—can you use your current DSLR lens on a mirrorless body? And most importantly, which mirrorless lenses are worth buying and which ones to avoid (hint: if they don’t have markings, you might be in trouble!).
If you care about consistent, high-quality dental photography, this episode is a must-listen!
