    Mirrorless Camera:

    Mirrorless cameras are a lighter and compact alternative to the DSLR, and provide incredible quality images, especially video. 

    The camera body lacks a mirror that reflects light to the sensor, instead the light goes straight to the sensor. The very mechanics of the mirrorless automatically limit camera shake as compared to the DSLR. And with less moving parts, they’re quieter than DSLRs. However, when it comes to lens options, it’s somewhat limited.

    DSLR Camera:

    It stands for digital single-lens reflex but the mechanics of a DSLR are fairly simple. Light enters a single lens and hits a mirror which reflects that light up into the viewfinder. You can have a DSLR with a full frame sensor or 35mm, or an APS-C sensor which is a crop sensor.

    DSLRs are the go-to cameras for most creatives. Whether you’re a professional photographer or aspiring videographer looking to get their YouTube channel off the ground, you’ll likely find this camera works for any project. 
    Note:

    These are some of the types of cameras that you can bring to your trip. Choose the one that suits best your needs and get ready to capture the best moments on this exciting adventure in Cusco.
