![]() ![]() When the mirror does flip up, that’s the only time power is exhausted. You don’t have to power an electronic viewfinder because your camera sensor isn’t always on. Sony uses a Z battery which gives you substantially longer battery life than ever before.ĭSLRs tend to have longer battery life for shooting still images. However, many mirrorless, Sony specifically, have improved. Battery LifeĪnd while a smaller sized camera may be good for travel and mobility, the small size of a mirrorless camera usually demands a smaller sized battery, and therefore, shorter battery life than DSLRs. Cameras like the Nikon z7 mirrorless are but one example. Companies are building mirrorless cameras to be more robust to match the durability of DSLRs. This is often why some photographers see mirrorless cameras as less professional just because it doesn’t look like what a professional camera is “supposed to look like.”Īnd once again, even this is changing. Mirrorless cameras are significantly smaller because they don’t require a reflex mirror. After the video, we'll jump back into the mirrorless vs DSLR debate.īecause of the mirror box and pentaprism inside, DSLRs are bigger and bulkier. To get a broader perspective on the benefits of mirrorless cameras, let's review the top options. Electronic viewfinder - limited in low light environments.Limited lens selection (again, getting better! But a fair point).Ergonomics (small, maybe too small for anyone with big hands).Battery life (though getting better! See more on this below).Also, high resolution is built into most mirrorless even if they’re on the low-end, quality wise. The electronic viewfinder can be used in video mode, while the viewfinder on a DSLR cannot.No flicking mirror means no camera shake.Less moving parts, they’re quieter than other cameras.Again, we're just covering the basic talking points here but we'll get to a more in-depth comparison in the next section. Now let's look specifically at the drawbacks and benefits of mirrorless cameras. Mirrorless vs DSLR Pros and Cons Pros and cons of mirrorless cameras ![]()
