Hey /p/, I got a question.

What kind of cameras do professionals use to shoot photos? DSLR, point-and-shoot, or mirrorless?
>>
All three.

DSLR's are most common.

All three. DSLRs are more common because they're easier to build a system around.

I.E. you're doing a wedding and you want a bunch of remote flashes, to do it well you pretty much gotta go for a DSLR.

Many pros lately are switching to
>Do I need to handle heavy lenses? Am I going to be comfortable?
DSLR

>Heavy equipment isn't necessary? I'm on a tight schedule with a lot of space to travel?
Mirrorless

P&S are tricky. Many pros like them for some peculiar work, but they're niche cameras for niche works, when it comes to pro stuff. You could, say, do a quick fashion shoot in a very claustrophobic setting with an RX100 fitting where no DSLR ever could. Stuff like that.

The one that is with them. Except m4/3 and Pantex lol

Pros only shoot Canon full-frame DSLRs with L series lenses.

The ones that you can load with film.

medium format phase one.
pentacks 645z for the poor ones.

Pros will use anything in their gear that will allow them to get the shot they want.

Point & shoots are usually used for specialized stuff. An underwater P&S is all of $200, versus a $2000 underwater case for their $2000 camera, so it's more economic to use something like that for occasional jobs.

Mirror less cameras are becoming more mainstream for professional use, mostly in wedding, portrait, art, travel, and landscape. Stuff that isn't so dependent on speed, but where a lighter camera system can help mobility.

DSLR's are still the top choice for sports, journalists, etc.
