DSLR vs Mirrorless with Charlotte Reeves - a podcast by Nicole Begley

178 - Do you know what the biggest difference between DSLR and mirrorless is? There's no mirror!

Ummmm … duh, Nicole. That's why they call it "mirror-less." 

 

But really, when you make the switch to mirrorless, you might even be holding your shutter release button down and thinking the whole time "I got a lemon! This thing isn't doing anything." Meanwhile, you just loaded 8,362 images onto your memory card because you didn't hear a thing. 

 

Haha! Can a memory card even hold 8,362 images?  

 

Seriously, though, you guys, there are some major differences between your digital single lens reflex camera and the new mirrorless systems. I brought onto the podcast today Unleashed Education's gear guru Charlotte Reeves to break it all down for us. 

 

Charlotte, also of Charlotte Reeves Photography in Brisbane, Australia, is a graphic designer turned award-winning photographer. She is a master of natural light, especially backlight, and has an eagle eye for the teeniest of distractions in an image.
