Should You Choose a Mirrorless Camera or a Digital SLR?

Dr. Michael Klein treats major and minor injuries as an MD at the Texas Health Center in Victoria. In his spare time, Dr. Michael Klein enjoys photography.

An innovative camera has entered the market for digital photography. The mirrorless camera is so named because it lacks the reflective surface of the digital single lens reflex camera (DSLR). In a DSLR, the mirror swings away to allow light into the image sensor.

Based on traditional film technology, the mirror in a DSLR uses a prism to display the image through the viewfinder and onto an LCD screen. By skipping the mirror, the newer camera records the image directly on the sensor.

Mirrorless cameras have several advantages. Because they have fewer parts, they are smaller and lighter than DSLRs. As a result, they are more portable and take up less room in a camera bag. They make superior videos with phase detection. This reduces the blurriness brought on by the lens changing focus. 

Many mirrorless cameras feature the superior resolution of 4K or Ultra HD technology. Not having a mirror also translates into faster shutter speeds and a shorter wait between rapid-fire photographs.

However, DSLR cameras outperform mirrorless cameras in several ways. Their image screens are brighter in low-light situations and their batteries last longer. Being older, DSLR technology offers a wider range of interchangeable lenses, although the number of mirrorless-compatible selections is steadily increasing.
