1. How DSLR and Mirrorless Cameras Work
DSLR cameras use a mirror system and an optical viewfinder, while mirrorless cameras rely on an electronic viewfinder and sensor-based preview.
2. Size, Portability & Build
Mirrorless cameras are lighter and more compact, making them easier to carry, whereas DSLRs stand out with their robust body design.
3. Autofocus, Video & Stabilization
Mirrorless systems offer superior autofocus, video focusing, and built-in stabilization (IBIS) compared to DSLRs.
4. Battery Life & Durability
DSLRs typically provide longer shooting time on a single battery charge, while mirrorless cameras have shorter battery life due to constantly active screens and sensors.
5. Lens Ecosystem & Cost Efficiency
DSLRs benefit from a wide second-hand lens market. Mirrorless cameras also allow using older lenses with adapters.
