If you are thinking of making a jump to a camera of superior benefits to the one you have because you feel that it falls short, that you lose things and that you can take advantage of some with more advanced benefits, you should know that everything does not end in the DSLR or what we commonly know as SLR cameras. If you have not heard of Evil (or CSC) cameras yet, I recommend this article that will give you a general idea of ??the type of camera we are talking about. As well as its advantages and disadvantages compared to other types of camera such as compact or SLR. In general, however, I will tell you that they are more advanced performance cameras than a compact one, without a mirror , with larger sensors , interchangeable lenses and smaller size and more compact than that of SLR cameras. Within the wide range offered by these cameras in terms of quality and price, we cannot say that they are better or worse than any other, because it always depends on the model, the comparator and, above all, on what each photographer looks for in a camera . What we can assure is that they are treading hard and increasingly with more improvements, more accessories and more brands that add to this boom of the EVIL. Here I leave a list of some of the best you can find today, of different range and price, with its general characteristics and approximate price.
