It’s that time of year once again. Frederick and Doug look back on the gear of 2014 and then into the crystal ball for what we might expect in the year to come.

2014 was a year in which mirrorless cameras continued to gain on more-traditional DSLRs, a trend both Frederick and Doug see continuing into 2015. But while we’ve mostly heralded the mirrorless revolution as bringing us smaller and lighter cameras, moving forward we can expect mirrorless cameras to catching up with and even surpass DSLRs in ruggedness, autofocus speed and high frame rates. In the future, the differences between DSLRs and mirrorless cameras will be more about the strengths and weaknesses of having a mirror at all, not so much size and weight.

The other big trend in 2014 was the move towards 4K video, and again Frederick and Doug expect to see many more cameras supporting 4K in 2015.

Also mentioned in the show are two video reviews by The Camera Store:
