They’re just as good

If a mirrorless camera can give you the same quality of images and the same degree of extendability (interchangeable lenses, hot shoe accessory port) as a huge SLR, then why bother with the extra weight and size?

Image sensors are just as big as those found in real DSLR cameras (sometimes even bigger), and native lenses with decent apertures and similar focal range are much more handy. So again, why bother?

Well, if we had been told it could double as a bazooka, then we wouldn’t have asked.
