Mirrorless photography

A camera architecture that allows light to hit the imaging sensor directly, eliminating the mechanical mirror and pentaprism used in DSLR cameras.

• Core Strengths: High performance in video, low-light environments, and maintaining high dynamic range.
• Market Position: While smartphones have surpassed point-and-shoot cameras in convenience, mirrorless systems remain the standard for professional-grade imaging.
