you've taken some pictures you've shot some video now you want to step your
game up you've kind of looked at the tried trusted and true dslrs but what
about those fancy new mirrorless cameras well right off the bat the biggest
visual clue when identifying a mirrorless versus DSLR camera is the
size difference something important to keep in mind if you care about
portability DSLR systems are a lot bigger because they use the same design
for the most part as a traditional 35mm film camera that your parents might have
used there's a dedicated area inside the body where a mirror reflects the light
to the viewfinder this mirror then flips up when you press the shutter exposing
the image onto the sensor this setup is considered robust by many because well
it's worked for a long time but it also adds to the overall weight and size
comparatively mirrorless systems are lighter smaller and in some ways more
versatile there's no need for a dedicated space inside the body because
the system is inherently mirrorless in this scenario the light passes through
the lens and right onto the sensor now you might be thinking hey Luke if
there's no mirror then how does the viewfinder work on a mirrorless system
the viewfinder is electronic and displays the image directly from the
sensor compared to a traditional Optical viewfinder of a DSLR there are benefits
to this for instance more information can be displayed such as visual tools to
help exposure focus and more which are
especially helpful for those that like to shoot video but although electron IC
viewfinders are improving rapidly they're still not perfect and they're
susceptible to things like lag or pixelation which is why many still
prefer seeing the real thing with the optical viewfinder of a DSLR rather than
seeing a simulated image on the screen of a mirrorless camera but outside the
viewfinders another important consideration is lenses different lenses
provide many different types of functionality almost to the point where
there are like apps for your phone kind of if you want to look at it that way
for Now history is on the side with dslrs there are a plethora of lenses
available to buy but mirrorless systems offer incredibly small and light lenses
which are further cutdowns on bulk so now we know the physical differences but
who should be buying what if you're into sports photography then you should pay
particular interest to mirrorless systems advancements in the field are
making these systems excellent for continuous shooting as mirrorless
systems don't have well a mirror that needs to constantly move up and down
make them operate more quickly mirrorless systems are also catching up
to dslrs with autofocus speed as they used to be fairly notorious for being
slower however dslrs offer more for your money on the lower end of the price
Spectrum as they usually offer a more feature complete camera which is not
necessarily the case for mirrorless systems mirrorless cameras tend to be
more compact but miss out on features such as a viewfinder leaving you to rely
on the screen on the back of the camera at the lower price bracket but what
whatever you want to go with camera Tech is moving incredibly fast and more
advanced features are trickling down into both lower price ranges and smaller
camera bodies so maybe it will soon again make sense to for more people to
carry around both a smartphone and a separate camera around or they can just
use like that yellow Batman utility belt
in the meantime I don't know freshbooks is on a mission to make Freelancers less

tequi and entering Techquickie in the how did You Hear About Us section let's
experiment a little bit here instead of liking the video if you like it and disliking the video If You disliked it
like the video if you're still sticking with the slrs dislike the video if
you're more into mirrorless cameras I might have to explain to lonus why the
like to dislike on this video is super screwed but do it anyways I'm really
interested in the results also another thing to do check out this video which
is probably covering my face it's a mini drone little kind of video thing on
Channel Super Fun that's super well fun and you should check it out get
subscribed over there get subscribed over here and then have a wonderful
freaking day man yeah just enjoy it
