As far as the viewfinder is concerned, they are the same. Subsequently claiming a pellicle mirror as part of the viewfinder to be some new development is false.leica Barnack Berek Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01751723447146584036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1320126156594375642.post-51153755934976396502019-11-13T14:56:01.481-06:002019-11-13T14:56:01.481-06:00You quoted Sony as saying "..While traditiona...You quoted Sony as saying "..While traditional DSLRs depend on a reflex mirror to flip up and down with every shot, Sony's award-winning technology changes all that.." ..and note that Sony says "DSLRs" ..that's DIGITAL SLRs.<br /><br />The Canon Pellix - and Canon's later EOS autofocus RT - were not DIGITAL SLRs, but both of them use(d) film.<br /><br />So Sony's statement is definitely not false.

It does not mean that the camera is devoid of any mirrors.leica Barnack Berek Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01751723447146584036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1320126156594375642.post-17248935409991509602019-11-13T10:27:15.214-06:002019-11-13T10:27:15.214-06:00The rangefinder in the Leica does have mirrors, so...The rangefinder in the Leica does have mirrors, so it is not mirrorless.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1320126156594375642.post-77894254844826550942019-11-13T10:26:32.399-06:002019-11-13T10:26:32.399-06:00While that is correct for older models, both the L...While that is correct for older models, both the Leica M240 and the Leica M10 series camerasdo offer an electronic viewfinder as an accessory.

The terminology of mirrorless camera appeared a lot later, however, the definition of a mirrorless camera applies to the Leica M cameras as well. They are indeed mirrorless cameras which also happen to have a rangefinder.leica Barnack Berek Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01751723447146584036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1320126156594375642.post-44863077219954477792019-11-13T10:23:58.627-06:002019-11-13T10:23:58.627-06:00But the Leica M cameras are rangefinder cameras, M...But the Leica M cameras are rangefinder cameras, M as in Messsucher, German for rangefinder.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
