Mirrorless and DSLR Cameras

What’s the difference between a mirrorless camera and a DSLR? Here are four main differences between them. First off, the viewfinder. In a DSLR, it’s an optical viewfinder, a tiny little window on the back of the camera. Mirrorless has an EVF, an electronic viewfinder, and a mini-screen that lets you preview what’s being captured. Super helpful.

Next up, lenses. Mirrorless cameras have a new lens mount, and you can still adapt all previous lenses using an adapter. However, the new lenses built for mirrorless cameras are better optically, and their autofocus is quieter.

Number three, autofocus. Autofocus in a mirrorless camera is just better. It’s faster and more accurate. Number four is sound. DSLRs are loud, and you know when you took a shot. Mirrorless is quieter and could be set to be completely silent.

In summary, you could still get great images out of both. A DSLR will give you better battery life, so if you’re looking to save a little money and don’t need all the latest features, a DSLR is a great camera to own. A mirrorless camera is a way to go if you want to be on the most current platform and have the best autofocus.
