mirrorless-migrationMirrorless cameras have been picking up steam as manufacturers continue to advance the technology that goes into the small, but powerful camera bodies. Many photographers have already abandoned their DSLR’s to make the switch to mirrorless and it’s a trend that probably isn’t going away any time soon.

Myth Busting

Sometimes it can be difficult to accept change, much less embrace it. There’s no exception when it comes to our cameras. There are still a lot of diehards shooting film out there not ready or willing to make the move to digital (and, to be clear, I mean no disrespect, I dig film, too!). The same can be said for the DSLR vs mirrorless movement. A lot of it comes down to personal preference, as mirrorless (like film or DSLRs) are not for every shooter, but it helps to be fully informed of the facts before you dismiss a certain style.
