Hi all..im a  hobbyist photographer and have a D90 with some lenses and accessories. i mostly shoot wideangle landscape and street photography. and sometimes family wedding. so lately the camera have been collecting dust and stay in the drybox due to family commitment and work.its a been a year or plus i didn't really take my camera for outing. its not really practical now with 3 kids. plus i always use my phone to take casual pictures.

im thinking to let go my DLSR and migrate to mirrorless.  on paper they are better in terms of image quality, speed, AF and stuff, and also they are more practical to move around with.. but i heard that mirrorless startup time is slower. according to my reading..2 sec or more.. thats a big worry to me since i shoot street photography and sometimes wedding. with 2 seconds delay i can miss a good shot.. for landscape i don't mind that.

so my question.as a hobbyist and casual photographer. is it worthy to migrate to mirrorless from a DSLR. have anyone use it for for wedding or street photography?  i feel that is such a loss to keep the D90 with me since i seldom use it now. thinking to sell it with all the accessories to fund the new system with some accessories. while it has value.

My Gears: D90, 18-105mm kit lens, Tokina 11-16mm, nikkor 50mm, nikkor 35mm, sb800.

thanks

about the 2 sec. delay, i suggest u let the camera in power save mode 1st, so u can awaken the camera shorter than 2 sec. power on

btw, if u prefer APS-C image sensor with fast & accurate AF, i'm strongly recommend Sony A6000. it really amazing!!!

A6000 is in my toplist. 2nd ia panasonic gx7. Do u have any lens reccomendation?  Is the kit lens good enough?  Im really interested with pancake lens.

kit lens is good enough for general usage. unless u very often to do macro, i suggest macro lenses for that

i m thinking bout this too.
but i always miss the DSLR capabilities which mirrorless cant do.
furthermore when people keep calling u "photographer" eventho you aren't and asking u to take the pictures for them.

depends which model of the mirrorless camera. in fact, plenty of mirrorless camera is capable for professional use

example A6000, A7S
