Hello again! It's been quite a long time. Welcome back. Today's topic of discussion will be the comparison of Mirrored and Mirrorless cameras. The mirrored cameras have been around and the mirrorless technology is considerably new. Let's talk about it.
The Main Difference: What is the difference between these two types of cameras?
Well, there is one major design difference. The addition and removal of the mirror. Let me explain. On most cameras, you might see a viewfinder. This viewfinder is a tool for the human eye and is another way to see what's being photographed in order to have a better composed shot. You hold this tool near your eye and click the picture. In Mirrored cameras, the camera design involves mirrors installed inside the camera to reflect the light off onto the viewfinder which allows one to see what's being captured.
A new technology by the name mirrorless cameras was introduced way after this, and it completely removed the concept of installing mirrors inside cameras. Mirrorless cameras had an electronic system built inside that would provide the photographer to see what's being captured electronically. These cameras had electronic viewfinders. It was a revolutionary technology that brought some advantages as well as disadvantages along with it. Mirrorless cameras don't need much space to occupy their small digital units, therefore they provide a smaller, lighter and more portable body. Mirrored cameras on the other hand, come with a bigger, bulkier body as they need to occupy the mirrors. Which one's better? It depends on your preference.
On the other hand, mirrorless cameras consume more battery because of their electronic systems, while mirrored cameras do not need so much battery as they rely on the mirror system and a camera that does not require as much electricity.
Personally, I've spent more time with a mirrorless camera. The photo I clicked below is from the Canon e50 Mark II.
Here is the edited version of the picture (edited in Lightroom Classic) -
I'm someone who likes to be on the go frequently and likes to have a portable camera. In my situation, I would choose a mirrorless camera. I have been thinking of upgrading my camera for a while. With the release of the new Sony mirrorless compact Alpha Cameras this year, I have more options to choose from. Also, about the editing process. If you guys would like an article on editing pictures and how I've recently started out, please reach out to me or fill the form! I would be happy to write an article about it! Thank you for checking this article out! My new article will come out on the 9th of October, which will talk about a local trip I will be going on, so look out for that one.
