you've taken some pictures you've shot some video now you want to step your
0:04
game up you've kind of looked at the tried trusted and true dslrs but what
0:08
about those fancy new mirrorless cameras well right off the bat the biggest
0:12
visual clue when identifying a mirrorless versus DSLR camera is the
0:17
size difference something important to keep in mind if you care about
0:20
portability DSLR systems are a lot bigger because they use the same design
0:24
for the most part as a traditional 35mm film camera that your parents might have
0:29
used there's a dedicated area inside the body where a mirror reflects the light
0:34
to the viewfinder this mirror then flips up when you press the shutter exposing
0:39
the image onto the sensor this setup is considered robust by many because well
0:44
it's worked for a long time but it also adds to the overall weight and size
0:49
comparatively mirrorless systems are lighter smaller and in some ways more
0:54
versatile there's no need for a dedicated space inside the body because
0:57
the system is inherently mirrorless in this scenario the light passes through
1:01
the lens and right onto the sensor now you might be thinking hey Luke if
1:06
there's no mirror then how does the viewfinder work on a mirrorless system
1:10
the viewfinder is electronic and displays the image directly from the
1:14
sensor compared to a traditional Optical viewfinder of a DSLR there are benefits
1:18
to this for instance more information can be displayed such as visual tools to
1:23
help exposure focus and more which are
1:26
especially helpful for those that like to shoot video but although electron IC
1:30
viewfinders are improving rapidly they're still not perfect and they're
1:33
susceptible to things like lag or pixelation which is why many still
1:37
prefer seeing the real thing with the optical viewfinder of a DSLR rather than
1:41
seeing a simulated image on the screen of a mirrorless camera but outside the
1:46
viewfinders another important consideration is lenses different lenses
1:50
provide many different types of functionality almost to the point where
1:54
there are like apps for your phone kind of if you want to look at it that way
1:58
for Now history is on the side with dslrs there are a plethora of lenses
2:02
available to buy but mirrorless systems offer incredibly small and light lenses
2:07
which are further cutdowns on bulk so now we know the physical differences but
2:12
who should be buying what if you're into sports photography then you should pay
2:17
particular interest to mirrorless systems advancements in the field are
2:21
making these systems excellent for continuous shooting as mirrorless
2:25
systems don't have well a mirror that needs to constantly move up and down
2:29
make them operate more quickly mirrorless systems are also catching up
2:33
to dslrs with autofocus speed as they used to be fairly notorious for being
2:38
slower however dslrs offer more for your money on the lower end of the price
2:42
Spectrum as they usually offer a more feature complete camera which is not
2:47
necessarily the case for mirrorless systems mirrorless cameras tend to be
2:50
more compact but miss out on features such as a viewfinder leaving you to rely
2:56
on the screen on the back of the camera at the lower price bracket but what
2:59
whatever you want to go with camera Tech is moving incredibly fast and more
3:02
advanced features are trickling down into both lower price ranges and smaller
3:07
camera bodies so maybe it will soon again make sense to for more people to
3:12
carry around both a smartphone and a separate camera around or they can just
3:16
use like that yellow Batman utility belt
3:19
in the meantime I don't know freshbooks is on a mission to make Freelancers less
3:23
stressed and more organized through their easy to use tool for crafting and
3:27
sending professional invoices in seconds
3:30
freshbooks also helps you track your hour so when it comes time to create
3:34
that invoice you know exactly what you did when you did it and who you did it
3:39
for you can even accept deposits through their platform so your work is paid for
3:43
on your schedule they also have a tool to manage your expense reports their
3:47
mobile app lets you take a picture of your receipt and pretty much just
3:51

4:08
experiment a little bit here instead of liking the video if you like it and disliking the video If You disliked it
4:12
like the video if you're still sticking with the slrs dislike the video if
4:17
you're more into mirrorless cameras I might have to explain to lonus why the
4:21
like to dislike on this video is super screwed but do it anyways I'm really
4:24
interested in the results also another thing to do check out this video which
4:28
is probably covering my face it's a mini drone little kind of video thing on
