Canon No Plans to Produce DLSR Models New Flagship? EOS-1D X Mark III as Company's Last Non-Mirrorless Model—But, Why?

They are using DLSRs since it allows them to capture more light compared to mirrorless cameras. But, with the new features integrated by Nikon and other giant cam creators, it seems like mirrorless models are now more advanced compared to their counterparts.

"The market needs are acceleratingly shifting to mirrorless cameras. In line with this, we are steadily shifting people," said Canon CEO Fujio Mitarai, as reported by News Heads.

Canon DSLR Will No Longer Move Forward?

According to CNET's latest report, the last DSLR model of Canon would be its EOS-1D X Mark III. Mitarai explained that they are now shifting to mirrorless development and production since the beginner and the intermediate SLR camera demand are now stronger than DLSR demand.

However, Canon clarified that they would still sell DLSRs as they continue to focus in the mirrorless camera market. The company's CEO further stated that they want RF mount camera model to be their next flagship camera device.

As of the moment, mirrorless cameras are now becoming the future of the creative industry. Many non-DLSR models now offer lens flexibility and better image quality than smartphones and digital single-lens reflex ones.

In size, mirrorless cams are also more portable than DLSRs, which are bulkier in design.

DLSR Vs. Mirrorless Camera

When it comes to differences, mirrorless models are more newbie-friendly compared to DSLRs.

This is because digital single-lens reflex models rely on a mirror that is positioned 45 degrees. As light enters the lens, it bounces at the mirror and into the optical viewfinder.

Meanwhile, the counterpart of DSLR doesn't rely on mirrors to capture light. Instead, the light would go straight through the sensor and into the viewfinder.

Since this is the case, DSLR has more options when it comes to customized images and videos. But, many people now prefer to capture photos without tweaking too many settings, such as aperture, ISO, shutter speed, and other features.

In other news, some hidden cameras are used in hotels to spy on guests. Meanwhile, Canon AI was recently used in Chinese offices to require employees to smile before entering rooms.
