Canon's Compact DSLR May Not be Mirrorless

Canon has hinted that it may not throw its considerable weight behind the mirror-less compact DSLR design.

However, the company is convinced DSLR sizes need to be reduced to keep up with prosumer perceptions.

When quizzed by Reuters, Canon's Masaya Maeda said:

"It's not a question of whether or not you have a mirror. There is a consumer need for good-quality cameras to be made smaller. We will meet this need."

Maeda hinted that canon would be able to compact DSLR size without eliminating its mirror box assembly that is essential for using an optical viewfinder.

Optical viewfinders use incoming light phase detection for predicative and near instantaneous focusing on a subject, allowing rapid shooting with accurate focus.

Mirrorless DSLRs lack an optical viewfinder; they use an electronic viewfinder for focusing using contrast detection, a much slower technique.

Interestingly, a Pentax official had earlier hinted that his company may not adopt the mirrorless DSLR concept.

So far Olympus, Panasonic, Samsung and Sony have adopted the mirror-less DSLR design to make DSLRs smaller.

Nikon company president Makoto Kimura told Bloomberg on July 8 that Nikon plans to introduce a new concept DSLR which would possibly be mirror-less.

Canon's refusal to jump on to the mirror-less DSLR bandwagon will be a big setback to the design.

The technology that Canon develops to compact DSLR size without sacrificing the optical viewfinder is sure to be emulated by other camera manufacturers.

Eventually, the mirror-less DSLR design may well fade away.
