“Shooting wildlife with an ancient DSLR camera” – by Des Ong (website | Facebook | Instagram, see also his previous guest posts):

I feel like a dinosaur, still using a brick that is the Nikon D4s, in 2021. Mirrorless bodies certainly look very interesting and the boy in me is eager to try my hands on the new toys. As a wildlife photographer, the particular features I like is the autofocus system, specifically the animal eye-AF, the silent electronic shutter and finally the size/weight saving. I do have some reservations though, for example the electronic viewfinder, the battery life, the cost of migration, and the limited range of Z lenses.
