Dear all,

I wanna learn photography (like aperture, shutter speed or ISO). My main interest is dslr. however, my concern is that it is too bulky..i dont think i will wanna carry a 0.5kg item around me in the city..then i come acorss mirror less camera like sony nex 5. is there any difference in terms of image quality? Can i use lenses for dslr on a mirorless camera (thats if i have the mount specific for my mirorless camera) ? In long term, i would like to take macro picture like bugs/flowers... will a mirorless give me a great picture?

basically, what are the main difference between these 2 type? why would ppl choose  a bulky dslr over the mirror less camera ?

In terms of autofocus lenses, a DSLR is a better bet.

Yes, mirrorless can give you equally good pictures. I am more familiar with Sony NEX and Fujifilm's cameras, and I don't think they have good macro lenses. Do take a look into Panasonic and Olympus' m43rds line up to see if there are lenses that suit your needs. If they do, then great but be aware that the sensor size is smaller.

Many macro users like manual focus lenses, so it's possible that you might get an adapter to use it on your Sony, Fuji, Panasonic or Olympus bodies. That way, you can retain the weight advantage of mirrorless.
