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 Tri 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 35 millimeter 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 okay look 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 electronic 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 they're 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 little small and light lenses which are further cut downs on bulk so now we know the physical difference is 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 making 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 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

did you hear about us section let's experiment a little bit here instead of like new video if you liked it and dislike in video if you just liked it like the video if you're still sticking with DSLRs dislike the video if you're more into mirrorless cameras I might have to explain the Lynas why the like to dislike on this video is super screwed but do it anyways I'm really interested in the results all so another thing to do check out this video which is probably covering my face it's a mini drone little kind of video thing I'll channel super fun that's super well fun and you should check it out
