Panasonic Mirrorless

Capture stunning photos and videos with a mirrorless camera!

The performance and features of mirrorless cameras have improved and expanded in leaps and bounds in recent years, and show no signs of stopping. The high-end models now equal (or exceed) the pro-level DSLRs, once considered the rulers of photography, and are causing many photographers to question whether to opt for a mirrorless or DSLR camera.

While DSLRs are often considered the default choice for most professional and amateur photographers, they’re not always the most practical option because of their bulkiness and heavy weight. More and more, photographers are making the switch to much lighter, fast, and tough mirrorless cameras.

What is a mirrorless camera?
When hearing about mirrorless cameras, you will also hear them being called Micro Four Third (4/3), a micro-SLR, bridge camera, compact pro, or even a hybrid cameras. Those all mean they occupy the category between a compact and a DSLR, with stunning image quality but low weight.

So, what is the difference between DSLR and mirrorless cameras? As the name suggests, mirrorless cameras do not have the mirror which DSLR cameras use to reflect the image captured by the lens to the camera’s optical viewfinder. mirrorless cameras also don’t have an optical viewfinder. They use a simplified system in which the image captured by the lens passes directly to the camera’s sensor for capture, and is then projected to the electronic viewfinder and the LCD screen.

What are the benefits of mirrorless cameras?
Mirrorless cameras are compact and lightweight, making them some of the best travel cameras out there. They’re amazing for everyday photography, as they won’t take up too much space or add too much weight to your camera bag. By opting for a mirrorless camera, your camera kit can remain lightweight and comfortable to carry around - just add a compact camera lens and the right accessories, and you are ready to capture your best shots wherever you go!

Beyond their portability, these cameras are also notable for their great photographic image quality and high-end video capture. Mirrorless models also tend to be more affordable than expert-level DSLRs, so if you’re not yet ready to commit to a DSLR, a mirrorless camera might be the perfect affordable camera for beginners that you're looking for. Plus, recent models feature modern connectivity, microphone compatibility, and more, making them the best cameras for vlogging and live-streaming.

What’s the best mirrorless camera for me?
Major camera manufacturers such as Canon, Nikon, and Sony are releasing more and more mirrorless models. Their full-frame mirrorless cameras aim to meet the high expectations of professional users, without sacrificing the portability that makes mirrorless cameras such an attractive choice for photographers.

Fujifilm, Olympus, and Panasonic have also continued to produce brilliant mirrorless cameras which push the boundaries on what can be expected from such compact cameras. To find the best mirrorless camera for you, check out Ted’s Top 5 mirrorless cameras guide.
