Mirrorless cameras are the go-to cameras for photographers these days. Mirrorless cameras are pretty much like the DSLR, if not even better. Unlike the DSLR, mirrorless cameras do not need a reflex mirror and do not have an optical viewfinder. Instead, they have electronic viewfinders (EVF). They are also much smaller in size, which makes it really convenient for travel. Here are 10 mirrorless cameras options you may just want to consider.
