As technology marches forwards the SLR has given way to the DSLR and Mirrorless cameras have improved in leaps and bounds narrowing the gap. It's an exciting time to capture the moments around you.

This isn't just a random "hey, this thing is in common". Arguably there are other stand out features that are com...
