DSLR vs Mirrorless Debate

The DSLR vs. mirrorless debate centers on camera design and performance. DSLRs use a mirror and optical pentaprism to view the scene directly through the lens, offering robust build and longer battery life, but tend to be larger and heavier. Mirrorless cameras eliminate the mirror, relying on digital viewfinders or screens, making them more compact and often quicker to autofocus, especially with video. While DSLRs excel in optical view clarity and battery longevity, mirrorless options have advanced rapidly, providing similar or better image quality, with the added advantage of lighter, more portable gear. The choice depends on size, weight, and specific photography needs.
