A DSLR camera in the right hands can allow for some incredible photos, but there’s no denying a lot of people are getting tired of lugging around a bulky camera and lens, whether on holiday or just around town. Dissatisfaction with this size of DSLRs has led to the development of mirrorless cameras, which offer all the benefits of a traditional DSLR in a much smaller package. Because they ditch the mirror inside the the chassis that’s used to reflect what’s being seen up into an optical viewfinder, they’re significantly lighter and smaller. Recent advancements have brought mirrorless models up to par with their bulkier counterparts in terms of image quality, too, so these days there’s not many trade offs for pixel peepers.
