DLSM
camera versus DSLR Camera.
Is it time
we switched from a DSLR camera to
DSLM? Some say it depends on what you want and what's right for you. Okay, sure
a lot of people get confused when faced with the choice to choose one type of
the camera, especially for novice photographers who would buy a camera for the
first time. As you know DSLR cameras, which do use a mirror, stands for Digital Single Lens Reflex.
Meanwhile, DSLM stands for Digital Single Lens Mirrorless,
On this
occasion, need to be explained once again that there is a difference between a
DSLR camera with DSLM camera, not
just because of the weight, size and price. The type of DSLM camera is a Micro
Four Thirds camera or mirrorless cameras. The Micro Four Thirds system (MFT) was created by Olympus and Panasonic in
2008. Both companies this was the pioneer type of camera DSLM, followed by
other well-known brands such as Nikon, Pentax, Samsung, Sony, and Canon later
also launched a MFT camera.
The
difference between such a mirrorless system camera and a digital SLR camera is, as the name implies, that the mirrorless
camera system, works without a mirror. In addition, this technique provides the
same or similar features and capabilities, as do other digital camera systems
also.

Both
camera system has the same advantage over the compact camera models, as well as
DSLR cameras, the mirrorless cameras that have interchangeable lenses, the
which offer photographers the opportunity to the camera to its current design,
the current environment or special photography techniques, such as the Time
lapse Photography adapt.

The most
significant advantage of mirrorless cameras over digital SLR cameras is the
weight, that DSLR cameras are heavier and larger than DSLM as a system camera
to dispense with the mirror inside, it is also much easier. In addition, of
course, the time-consuming purification system for the mirror also falls away.
The image sensors used in Micro Four Thirds and APS-C, are identical to those
of SLR. By the same sensors, the image quality of the mirrorless cameras even
at high ISO speeds also very good, even when using Auto ISO.
The
reference in the field of speed comes from the single-lens reflex. Related to
this: the autofocus: The DSLR cameras use a phase auto focus, which works
faster than the contrast AF system in the camera. This makes fast image series
for sports photography with the DSLR really lucrative. There is also the SLR currently
even more accessories and a wider choice of different lenses, from wide angle
to super zoom or even macro lens.

The
primary disadvantage of DSLR cameras is their size, but Canon has launched the
Canon EOS 100D (This camera is great for the novice photographer), which is
claimed to be the smallest DSLR camera, where the camera can also make movies
with Full HD quality, even with a touch screen. It must be recognized that
DSLRs can also be a bit complicated to learn Because of all of their different
buttons and features, and of course the DSLR cameras usually large, and heavier,
so it is rather inconvenient when used during long holidays, not to mention
that you bring a lot of lenses.
With all
the complexity that exists when will choose between DSLM or DSLR, then you try
to reflect for a moment, what is the purpose you buy a camera? Each model
certainly has its advantages and disadvantages. There are some personal
opinions and reviews of professional photography in magazines or on the
Internet who say that when it comes to image quality there is no doubt that
there are many things that a DSLR does better than a MILC (mirrorless), for example,
speed and accuracy. Although DSLR cameras quickly lose market share in favor of more compact
and high performing ILC cameras, still, DSLR cameras are still a better tool
for many photographers who choose a DSLR for professional work.

In the
opinion of some aspects of it may be true, but with the technological
developments in the last two years, mirrorless cameras have begun to approach
even superior in some ways as well. There is also the opinion that professional
photographers have made mirrorless camera as a second camera, mainly used to
perform the test photos when shooting a photo model, or when photographing a
product for advertising needs. Say if you are on holiday in Bali or when you are in a family event such as a
birthday party, then the mirrorless camera is definitely more convenient for
you to carry, and can go in your pockets or purse.
Whatever
decisions you will take, then you needs to understand your own preferences and
your own needs in order to make a choice. You do not need to be affected by the
charm of the ads that you find in magazines, newspapers or camera promotion on
the Internet, you are the king, and then you are the person in charge at your
own decision.
