Often I am asked about types of cameras and which one I should use. The obvious answer is of course whatever camera you have with you or that you have access to. The problem with this is that we all carry a phone with a camera, and while these are increasingly more and more capable as cameras, they still shoot files that have a high amount of compression, are only 8 bit (256 tones per colour channel) and rarely make for good prints.

Mirrorless cameras and becoming really capable, and offer, in some cases, quite exceptional quality. If you are looking for a camera, i recommend http://www.dpreview.com as a good place to start.
