Why mirrorless?

Re: Why mirrorless?

Point 1 is incorrect as that boils down to specific camera models. Many mirrorless cameras keep sensor exposed and to take an exposure it drops down the shutter for first curtain and then reopens it and drops down for second curtain.  This definitely has higher consequences than many DSLR designs that have been optimized over time for burst operation.

Some mirrorless and DSLRs have electronic first curtain capability. Some mirrorless and even DSLRs have leaf shutters.  So in the end it depends on the model, but to generalize and say DSLRs has more camera shake induced by actuations actually goes against my experience depending on models.
