Should I change from DSLR to mirrorless?
Mirrorless cameras have the advantage of usually being lighter, more compact, faster and better for video; but that comes at the cost of access to fewer lenses and accessories. For DSLRs, advantages include a wider selection of lenses, generally better optical viewfinders and much better battery life.
Are professionals switching to mirrorless?
Despite the remarkable improvement in their technology, the mirrorless market has sat at around the 3 million mark for the past few years – and it seems that even though there’s no ground-breaking upward trajectory in sales likely, many pros are going on record to say they’re making the switch and don’t want to go back …
Will mirrorless cameras replace DSLRs?

What is the difference between mirrorless and DSLR sensors?
APS-C is also a common sensor size, for both mirrorless and DSLR. All of this means that there’s no generally discernible difference between outright image quality in DSLRs and mirrorless cameras, no matter which you choose to go with.
Are entry-level DSLR cameras shrinking in popularity?
Conversely, entry-level DSLRs are shrinking to compete with the smaller footprint of similarly priced mirrorless cameras. Nikon’s D3500 and Canon’s EOS Rebel T7 / 2000D are charmingly small and light, making them less of a burden to carry around.
What is the average battery life of a mirrorless camera?
On average, battery life for entry level mirrorless cameras is about 300 shots. The high end camera Sony a7 iii reaches an astonishing 700 shots. Entry level DSLRs also allow you to take around 400 shots with a charged battery. Up to 1000 shots for the pro models (e.g., Canon 80D).
