Small SLR Cameras

Full Creativity in a Small and Lightweight Package

Many of us have been looking for that mythical sweetspot between a full featured SLR and a point and shoot camera. We have been attempting to find something that would allow us control over the artistic aspects, such as shutter speed, aperture, and choice in which lens to use, but in a small and compact package. Now, thanks to digital technology, we can have the best of both worlds – we can fully exercise our creativity but not be bothered by the weight and clumsiness of a full sized camera.

The biggest revolution in small SLR design is the development of the mirrorless camera. Since much of the bulk and weight of an SLR is due to the mirror, removing this allows the size and weight of the camera body to shrink considerably. The disadvantage is that those of us who are used to looking through a viewfinder, have to compose their shots using the LCD screen instead. For most, this isn't too big of a deal, and the major advantages in size and weight make the Small SLR option truly great.
