Questions? We've Got You Covered

Wondering what makes each brand different? These quick answers will help you compare systems, understand key features, and feel more confident when hiring your next mirrorless camera.

What is a mirrorless camera?

A mirrorless camera uses a digital sensor to capture images without the traditional mirror mechanism found in DSLRs. This makes the body more compact and enables faster shooting, electronic viewfinders, and features like silent shutter modes.

Which mirrorless camera brand is best for video?

Panasonic is a top choice for video, with features like internal ProRes, RAW, and unlimited recording times. Sony is also popular for real-time Eye AF during video and strong low-light performance.

What’s the most beginner-friendly mirrorless camera system?

Canon and Fujifilm are great for beginners. Canon’s Dual Pixel AF makes focusing easy, while Fujifilm offers intuitive manual controls and creative Film Simulation modes that are ideal for learning.

Is it worth hiring a mirrorless camera before buying?

Absolutely. Hiring lets you test cameras in real-world settings before making a big investment. It’s a smart way to explore different systems and features to see what suits your shooting style.

How do I choose the right mirrorless camera for my needs?

Start by considering what you’ll be shooting — like portraits, landscapes, wildlife, or video. Then think about what matters most: size, autofocus, low-light performance, or colour rendering. Our selector tool can help guide your choice.

What lenses are compatible with mirrorless cameras?

Each mirrorless system has its own mount — like Sony E-mount or Canon RF — but adapters allow you to use DSLR lenses too. It’s best to hire first if you’re planning to mix formats or test compatibility.

Can I use a mirrorless camera for both photo and video?

Yes — many mirrorless cameras are built for hybrid use. Sony, Canon, and Panasonic in particular offer excellent photo and video features, making them great for content creators, vloggers, and professionals alike.
