It connects us with hidden treasures and brings us closer to distant goals. And, the camera plays a pivotal role in transpiring them. In the ever-evolving world of photography, the mirrorless camera has emerged as a game-changer and has taken centre stage in transforming the way we capture moments. As someone who has been closely associated with this industry for many years, I have not only witnessed the fascinating evolution of camera types but also the transformative impact of mirrorless technology. The mirrorless camera goes beyond just being a camera. With their compact design and cuttingedge features, mirrorless cameras have brought a revolutionary change in offering photography enthusiasts an unparalleled experience. Through the lens of my experience, let's delve into the stellar journey of mirrorless cameras, from their inception to their present-day dominance.
Birth, Evolution and Innovation
The concept of mirrorless cameras began to take shape in the early 2000s when manufacturers aimed to create more compact and lightweight cameras without compromising image quality. Traditional DSLRs (Digital Single-Lens Reflex) cameras were widely popular but came with the inherent bulkiness of the mirror and prism mechanism. This led to the birth of the mirrorless camera - a revolutionary alternative that replaced the mirror with an electronic viewfinder (EVF). This innovative leap paved the way for a new era of photography, unencumbered by the limitations of size and weight and opened up new possibilities for travel and street photography.
