The mirrorless interchangeable lens camera world has gotten crowded. All the major manufactures have jumped in and many have multiple models. I created my guide to mirrorless cameras to help people navigate the waters and make the proper decisions.
If you disagree with my recommendations, that’s fine. Add your suggestions in the comments area underneath this post. If you look at my portfolio or mostlyfotos, you’ll know what I like urban landscapes, architecture and street photography. I also take a lot of candid family photographs which I don’t post on the blog. These mirrorless camera recommendations are based on my experience taking these kind of photographs.
If you are confused by this new and fast growing market, don’t be. Just click on my guide for a straight forward look at what you should consider.
If you have friends that want to step up from a point and shoot or a DSLR user who is tired of lugging their beast around, please send them a link to this page or click the Facebook, Twitter or Google Plus buttons. You can also find a link to the Mirrorless guide on the right side under “Recommended Gear”
This is the fastest growing market segment for cameras in Japan. The US is are moving in that direction here as well. With good reason. Small, good quality, fast, modestly priced (for a good camera). A lot of people buy these as second cameras and discover that they rarely use their “first camera” anymore.

I know I’m lovin’ my Olympus E-PL5.., and I have to thank you for reminding me what a good product Olympus makes. Of course, I’m still getting use to the menu and controls but by and large it’s been a satisfying experience.
There are user groups online, so if you are having any problem finding something in the rather Byzantine menu system, they are a great resource. Also good when you want to buy an accessory or lens and want opinons from people who aren’t trying to sell you anything.
Meanwhile, these are great little cameras … lots of camera in a tidy little package. I really enjoy it. I got myself the Panny 14mm 2.5 lens for Kissmas. It was a compromise. It’s relatively fast, pretty wide, and I could almost afford it.
Have fun. Send pictures!
