Well, at last Canon and Nikon have got their act together and come up with the following, about five years late!
What is a mirrorless camera?
Unlike a DSLR, which uses a mirror to reflect light into a viewfinder, mirrorless cameras – sometimes known as compact system cameras – do not contain a mirror or an optical viewfinder, which makes them generally smaller than DSLRs.
Instead of looking through the lens to compose your image via an optical viewfinder, mirrorless cameras use either an electronic viewfinder or LCD to let you preview your shot. Despite the differences in design, mirrorless cameras - like DSLRs – still allow you to be creative with lenses.
Canon news,
In addition to a new flagship EOS R PRO mirrorless camera, Canon is also rumored to announce at least two new EOS M cameras in the first half of 2019:
Canon EOS M5 replacement with 4K and DPAF
The second will most likely be a Canon EOS M6 replacement.
Canon has announced its first full-frame mirrorless camera and lens system, both called EOS R. Coming shortly after rival Nikon announced its own full-frame mirrorless cameras, the announcement of the EOS R means both Japanese camera giants are now taking high-end mirrorless seriously after years of putting out half-hearted responses to the likes of Sony and Fujifilm.
As previously leaked, the EOS R camera is built around a 30.3-megapixel full-frame sensor with an ISO range of 100-40,000. The sensor uses dual-pixel autofocus and is paired with Canon’s DIGIC 8 image processor. There’s a fully articulated touchscreen as well as an OLED electronic viewfinder and an information panel on the top of the camera.
