Picturing: My First 'Mirrorless'

Over the past few months I would read bits, and watch YouTube videos, on the advantages of 'mirrorless' cameras, and how a lot of professional photographers have switched over to the type in whole or in part. The big advantage for me would be the camera's smaller profile. Having a regular DSLR hanging off one's chest is not conducive to photographer anonymity, especially when doing street photography. This benefit has been noted by many photogs, big and small.

Today was my day to bypass the mirror and go straight to the sensor: I decided to start with the Canon EOS R100. One can spend a lot more money on a mirrorless camera, and I did consider going higher-end while perusing the many cameras of the sort today, even after doing a blitz of research and deciding on this model before stepping into the store, but Canon is always trusty... and it's been my camera brand since, and including, my SLR film camera (that wee beasty served me well when I worked as a hospital/medical/surgical and public relations shooter).

To the test phase! Well, after the battery finishes charging....
