mirrorless
Lacking reflective surface
Mirrorless describes a type of digital camera that lacks the internal mirror mechanism found in traditional single-lens reflex (SLR) cameras.
Without the mirror, these cameras are typically smaller and lighter while still accepting interchangeable lenses: I switched to a mirrorless system for travel photography.
The design allows the image sensor to receive light directly, enabling features like real-time exposure preview.
