Cameras have been around for hundreds of years. First as black and white, then as digital, and now in the form of a mirrorless camera. Mirrorless cameras are not brand new technology, but the market for high quality mirrorless camera lenses is a relatively new phenomenon.
A mirrorless camera is a digital camera that does not contain the inner mirror, which is what makes the “click” sound when taking a photo. What this does is force the light to go directly through to the LED screen or viewfinder, and making it easier to take high quality photos on a smaller, more compact camera.
According to this Bloomberg article, two large camera companies are competing for the top spot in mirrorless camera technology. Sony Corp. released new lenses for their mirrorless camera, prompting Nikon Corp. to follow in their footsteps and create their own new lenses.
This newly competitive lense market is creating more and more options for the consumer. With the addition of more lenses for photographers to choose from, mirrorless cameras will soon be the norm, and camera companies seem to be nowhere close to slowing down.
