Lately, mirrorless cameras become an important alternative for photography fans, because this camera type camera has a smaller body, as well as lighter weight than a DSLR camera. Additionally engineers of mirrorless cameras have managed to improve focus speed, so that makes the difference is more interesting. You may turn to the Panasonic GH4 which reportedly has a focus speed is better than the GH3.

If you are very concerned with image sensor size or resolution, the Canon EOS 80D has a higher sensor, 24 megapixels, while the Panasonic GH3 only 16MP, with the Four Thirds CMOS Sensor technology. However, according to cameradecision.com, Since the 80D has an APS-C sized sensor and the GH3 has a smaller Four Thirds sensor, Panasonic GH3's lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will generally be lighter and smaller than the EOS 80D lenses. Was it true?

Of course you have to prove yourself by making a few photos from both cameras, such as portraits, macro, scenery, and what if you use when making a photo in low light conditions. In addition, it should also be compared if used to photograph sports like car racing, football and other action photographs.

However, this is not the main thing because you can choose another lens provided by Panasonic, as well as there is free software to manage your photos on your laptop or your PC. It's Turns out Panasonic GH3 very great for street photography, while the EOS 80D is suitable for making portraits both in the studio and outdoors. Apparently, the camera has no image stabilizer on their bodies. The solution is to choose a lens that has a OIS (Optical Image stabilizer) feature  or something like that. Although they have certain differences, both cameras are always good for everyday photography.

Tamron or Sigma has a long experience to make a good lens for Canon and Nikon DSLR. There are a lot of their production lenses that have better features than the original lens Nikon or Canon, for example, an image stabilizer technology, which is not found on certain types of lenses in Canon and Nikon lenses. Perhaps this is what makes third-party lens becomes more expensive for the same type than the original lens Canon or Nikon. However, you will enjoy the image stabilization, so that you believe yourself to shoot at certain conditions.

When you choose a superzoom lens or telephoto lens, it turns out you can get a longer zoom range on a third-party lens, even more affordable price. 

You can get this information from the online shops specialized in selling lenses and cameras. So that you are more confident, you need to look at the official website of Sigma, Tamron or Tokina, so you get more accurate information. Who knew you could find another lens with attractive offers such as a macro lens, wide angle lens or fixed lens.

Therefore, you need to see the catalog or information on the Internet, before you decide to buy a new lens for your DSLR camera.
