DSLR vs MIRRORLESS
Most advanced digital cameras evolved from traditional film camera body designs. For example, my first professional DSLR was the Canon EOS-1Ds,
which was based on a Canon 35mm film camera body. Since then, I have
purchased successive models of full-frame as well as APS-C-sensor Canon cameras. I have also shot using medium-format cameras such as the Hasselblad and Pentax 645 systems, and these too are based on SLR designs dating back to the era of film. During the past eight years or so, we have seen camera manufacturers break free from the constraints of placing the sensor inside the body of what is essentially a 35mm SLR film camera, and choose instead to rethink their digital camera designs from the ground up. A number of manufacturers have produced brand new systems based on a mirrorless design with dedicated lenses.
