Sony Artisan Brian Matiash published a new eBook called ‘Moving to Mirrorless’. It chronicles his transition from using Canon dSLR gear for over 10 years to shooting exclusively with Sony A7-series bodies and Sony glass.
The book is over 90 pages long and is totally free! To download, users just need to sign up for his newsletter over here: http://eepurl.com/ML_sv.
Current Canon/Nikon camera owners that would love to switch to the Sony FE system may find this helpful. You can use all your current lenses and trade in your camera at Adorama (Click here) 🙂
Thanks Brian!

There are great sensors, EVFs and cameras coming out of Sony. But only one confirmed high resolution lens, the 55mm. Since Nikon won’t let Sony build an A7 for Nikon lenses, Sony should build an A7ru with standard pixel optics and a high quality universal mount, and let Metabones build manual and automatic lens adapters for it.
It’s an advertorial much more than it is a book, but wow, the images absolutely blew me away – Brian is clearly a guy who really knows what he’s doing.
What do artists really get, and from who, by publishing a “My move from X to X mirroless”? Is Sony spreading dough for stuff like this? if so, I am going to write mine tomorrow. It will go around the lines of: “Because I wanted to. Now you want to, as well. Thank you, please click on the following Amazon/Adorama/BH/Amazon.de/Ebay/Amazon.fr/Calumet/Amazon.co.uk/Wex link to make your purchase and satisfy your wildest photo dreams.”
The guy shoots landscapes and macro
Naturally, mirrorless would make sense for him
The only action photo in the book (with the cyclist) is terribly blurred (which may be intended, but anyway)
In his considerations of DSLR vs mirrorless, the author doesn’t even consider TRACKING AF for action photography, which is like THE difference between DSLR and mirrorless worlds
I found the book rather pointless… if you only shoot static objects, pick an A7, it’s a no brainer
Beautiful photos though!
Agreed, albeit imo his HDR shots are horrible, nice range of genres otherwise
For me it smells fishy. Why is SAR so focused on E-mount and ignor other rumors?
What I am missing in this book is the mentioning/description of one of the biggest advantages of this mirrorless system – adaptability of all kind of lenses including MF lenses. Instead the book only advertises Sony gear. It’s free because it is an advertisement book focusig only on Sony gear.
