A new step in the digital world, mirrorless cameras are more advanced than ever. Without the mirror in front of the sensor, cameras can shoot faster, and do more.
Mirrorless camera technology is the next step in digital photography
The use of a mirror box in DSLRs was a design carried over from film SLR days. In SLR cameras, the mirror box allows the user to look through the lens, and frame their photo precisely. When the shutter button is taken, the mirror flips up, the shutter opens and closes to expose the film. With digital, it can be taken one step further. Instead of looking through the lens, you can look through the lens + imaging sensor. Which means you are not just looking at the composition, but also the exposure and colour directly.
Do mirrorless cameras take better pictures?
Given the same technology, the end result will be exactly the same. The process of the camera taking a photo doesn’t change. In fact, it can be a little faster since you don’t have to wait for the mirror to flip up. However, technology across all models is not equal, and these days, the higher end cameras tend to be of the mirrorless variety. On average, mirrorless cameras are more advanced in specs and technology.
Without the mirror, cameras can be made smaller and lighter, with less moving parts. Another benefit is having in-body image-stabilization. While possible in a DSLR, most do not have that feature, and in the competitive mirrorless camera world, IBIS is a must-have for consumers to take it seriously.
Currently almost all camera brands are moving over to the new technology. Digital mirrorless cameras are the future. If you’re tossing up between a DSLR and a mirrorless system camera, perhaps the only reason you’d need is that support and new lenses for DSLRs may not exist in a few years’ time. Looking deeper into that, a lot of the disadvantages of mirrorless cameras are decreasing and some are outright gone.
Comparing Mirrorless Cameras to Other Cameras
Comparing the two different technologies and systems, almost all new advances in specifications occur in the mirrorless end. The biggest disadvantages of mirrorless cameras were slow autofocus and poor battery life. With the rise of on-chip phase-detect autofocus, the AF systems in the latest releases are far better than the earlier models, and in some cases, beating out equivalent DSLR autofocus performance. The mid-range Sony A7III has 693 autofocus points and all of them are phase-detect!
Battery life in the first generation of mirrorless cameras was shocking. With an electronic viewfinder to run all the time, a rear screen, and on top of that, a sensor that was now always on; it’s a lot to constantly power on. Fortunately, as technology advanced, battery life became better. Some models are still struggling, but some mirrorless cameras are easily able to shoot an entire day on a single battery.
