DSLR vs Mirrorless Camera: Which is the best for you?
The DSLR vs mirrorless comparison raises a lot of interesting questions about camera design and where it's h eading. The conventional wisdom is that mirrorless cameras are the future and that DSLRs are a dying breed. It doesn't help that camera makers seem to have reached the same conclus ion! But before we consign the DSLR to history, let's check that we're not losing as much as we' re gaining DSLRs and mirrorless cameras both show the scene through the camera lens itself as you comp ose the picture, but the way they display it is completely different. DSLRs use a mirror to reflect an optical image up into the viewfinder. When you take a picture, the mirror flips up so that the image can then pass to the back of the camera where the sensor is exposed to the image.
