Full-Frame Mirrorless Cameras List
Discover the rise of full-frame mirrorless cameras, blending DSLR quality with the convenience of a smaller, lighter design.
In digital photography and videography the current trend is clearly shifting in the direction of full-frame mirrorless interchangeable-lens cameras. Mirrorless interchangeble-lens cameras are often abbreviated as DSLM (Digital Single Lens Mirrorless). As the technology gets cheaper the digital cameras with full-frame sensors become affordable to broader masses of amateurs and professionals.
A full-frame mirrorless camera is a mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera with a digital sensor the same size as 35mm format (36mm × 24mm) film. Full-frame mirrorless cameras unite advantages of two worlds: the mirrorless form-factor (that became popular in cameras with smaller crop sensors) and the full-frame sensor size (previously available only on DSLRs). Compared to full-frame DSLRs (digital single-lens reflex cameras) mirrorless full-frame cameras are smaller in size, have less weight, some models with electronic shutter can take pictures almost silently. Compared to mirrorless cameras with smaller micro four thirds and APS-C sensors, full-frame mirrorless cameras can contain more megapixels on their (bigger) sensors and hence have the greater amount of detail that can be captured in a picture. Often, but not always, full-frame sensors can better perform in low light conditions.
Below are the lists of all known mirrorless full-frame cameras, sorted by the brands like Canon, Sony, Panasonic or Nikon. There are rumors that other, not listed here, photo companies and brands are willing to enter the full-frame mirrorless camera market in the near future.
