Anyone who has been involved in photography long enough
should be familiar with the sometimes contentious debate
about the differences, whether real or imagined, between film
and digital. Which exhibits better dynamic range? Which has
better resolution? How much better is it? The digital medium
has established itself as the imaging standard, and most who still
engage in the film versus digital discussion are generally content
to concede that both can co-exist.
Arguments over the merits of film photography as compared
to digital photography have died down as technology has
continued to advance, but it is this ever-advancing technology
that is responsible for the persistence of still another topic of
debate within the photography world: DSLR versus mirrorless.
Are DSLRs, with their bulky bodies and slapping mirrors,
really dinosaurs? Are mirrorless cameras truly the future of
photography? These questions don’t have simple “yes” or “no”
answers, and that is a good thing for everyone. But if you find
yourself in a position of having to choose between the two
technologies, here are a few key factors to keep in mind.

A LITTLE BACKGROUND
Strictly speaking, mirrorless cameras
aren’t anything new; rangefinder cameras
(such as those world renowned Leicas),
which have been around since before
the first film SLRs, don’t use a mirror and
pentaprism like an SLR — hence, they
are mirrorless cameras. SLRs and DSLRs
employ a mirror/pentaprism system,
allowing the photographer to see exactly
what is coming through the lens and
making focusing a breeze. Rangefinders
only simulate this process; focus is typically
achieved by moving a calibrated focusing
wheel to align the images that appear in
the viewfinder.
In modern, digital-centric parlance,
mirrorless cameras typically refer to digital
cameras that do not possess a mirror
and pentaprism. These cameras are not
rangefinders in the traditional sense.
Thus, while all rangefinder cameras are
mirrorless, not all mirrorless cameras are
rangefinders.

This is an example of what you can expect when you peek through a
rangefinder’s viewfinder. The viewfinder is that small window at the
back of your camera that allows you to preview your shot.

This is a film rangefinder, a type of mirrorless camera. This type of camera
will have a window in front so that when you peek through the viewfinder
at the back, you can get an estimate of how the camera will frame your
shot. Digital SLRs and mirrorless cameras do not have this front window
since these cameras allow you to preview what the lens sees.
