Abstract

Aim: To compare current DSLR and mirrorless camera systems for ease of use, efficiency, and cost in routine dental photography. Methods: Two currently available camera systems (DSLR + macro lens + ring flash/external flash and mirrorless camera + macro lens + ring flash/external flash) were compared and assessed for ease of use, sensor sizes, features, quality of imaging, battery capability, and costs. Results: Mirrorless cameras were smaller and lighter by 16% as compared to DSLRs. Superior Digic X image processors in mirrorless give better image quality compared to DSLRs with older Digic 8 processors. Focus points on the mirrorless are greater at 651 as compared to just 9 on DSLRs. Battery capacity with DSLRs is better at 600–800 shots per charge as compared to 250–300 shots per charge with mirrorless cameras. Overall, the mirrorless camera was priced 16% higher than DSLR cameras. Conclusion: There is a technological shift toward mirrorless camera systems across manufacturers. In the medium to long term, mirrorless technology will replace current DSLR systems making it imperative for dentists to understand and adapt to using mirrorless cameras in imaging.

用于牙科摄影的数码单反相机和无反光镜相机的比较分析

目的：比较目前的数码单反相机和无反光镜相机系统在常规牙科摄影中的易用性、效率和成本。方法：对目前市面上的两种相机系统（数码单反相机+微距镜头+环形闪光灯/外置闪光灯和无反光镜相机+微距镜头+环形闪光灯/外置闪光灯）进行比较，并从易用性、传感器尺寸、功能、成像质量、电池能力和成本等方面进行评估。结果显示与数码单反相机相比，无反相机体积更小，重量减轻了 16%。与使用较旧的 Digic 8 处理器的数码单反相机相比，无反相机中的高级 Digic X 图像处理器可提供更好的图像质量。无反相机的对焦点数达到 651 个，而数码单反相机只有 9 个。单反相机的电池容量更大，每次充电可拍摄 600-800 张照片，而无反光镜相机每次充电可拍摄 250-300 张照片。总体而言，无反相机的价格比单反相机高出 16%。结论所有制造商都在向无反光镜相机系统进行技术转型。从中长期来看，无反光镜技术将取代目前的单反相机系统，因此牙医必须了解并适应在成像中使用无反光镜相机。
