Mirrorless Cameras

A mirrorless camera does not have a mirror and has an electronic viewfinder instead of an optical one. They are also typically much smaller and thinner than DSLRs. They also use their main imaging sensor for focusing, and DSLRs have a separate autofocus module.

Pros:

• Typically smaller
• Hybrid autofocus- more accurate and consisent, awareness of the scene- can pinpoint subject's eye
• Better able to shoot videos
• More modern and new lenses to use

Cons:

• Less consistent performance because it's still being experimented on
• Smaller battery life
• Electronic viewfinder lag behind the action

You should get some mirrorless, because there are advantages: better focus and a smaller body, but DSLRs are also good- we are more used to them, and they take less power to use.
