Sony A99 is a mirrorless. It's definitely not compact. smile.gif

Typically Mirrorless refers to any camera that does not have reflex mirrors.

Eh is it? I thought there's still a mirror inside? And the technology is called "semi translucent mirror", just that it doesn't have a normal optical viewfinder.

Well, I've always considered them as Mirrorless as the said mirror refers to that flapping thingamajig (reflex mirror) on DSLR.

Sure, those Sony ones are using semi-transparent fixed mirror but that's not the same as the reflex mirror in which I believe what "mirrorless" was referring to.

One source that sees it the way I see is Mr Rockwell - http://www.kenrockwell.com/sony/a99.htm

hmm... but for most people, the mirrorless terms stand for those m4/3 or NEX kind of camera.

In my opinion, those DSLT still aren't mirrorless, but they are someway between mirrorless and DSLR, that's what makes them unique.

And as most mirrorless, the light just went through the lens hitting the sensor straightaway (not only when pressing the shutter) , when you detach the lens, the sensor is exposed. but the sony isn't the same.

So much for mirrorless supporters bashing DSLR.

tongue.gif Let's not forget that Olympus' OM-D also have an SLR feel to it.

What's with this hatred from mirrorless user towards DSLR anyway? No matter how, DSLR still reigns in many aspects.

The way an SLR is designed, it's really the best in overall ergonomics and stability, especially with the grip and their size and weight.

yeah, mirrorless just cant beat dslr in terms of button placement and controls. but that kind of size and weight is a pain when you wanna travel with it sweat.gif

ehh SLR also there are small ones. entry level ones are pretty light, the EOS 100D is even smaller.

I know the 100D is quite small, but most mirrorless are pocketable when paired with their pancakes. tongue.gif
