Dear friend, @AbdullahAM - shall we discuss about any brand or type, after explaining all the 3 types = DSLR, Mirrorless & P&S cameras, please? we will try, for sure.

Hi @Avraham_Jurado, happy to know that the post was useful to you & Welcome to our series. If you see the first post (Here), you will get an idea about this series - surely<God willingly,I shall try to complete all the topics promised.

Also, if time permits, Here is my profile & many such topics were discussed earlier - kindly have a look & let us know your views.

1. "... thank you for mentioning in the post as a contributor..." While I humbly accept your kind regards, I state that 'Promoting' you all is the responsibility of we seniors.
2. " ... in terms of cost P&S<DSLR<MLD..." : Technically speaking, DSLRs are more costlier than Mirrorless for the simple reason that the DSLR carries many additional mechanical parts (moving & fixed = mirrors, prisms, shutter screen etc.) and more complicated electronic circuitry to control these; however, many manufacturers today started selling DSLRs even below mirrorless price - this is just because of the development cost of Mirrorless, which is relatively a new technology, is higher. But, over a period, mirrorless will be much cost effective and DSLRs will go to the back row for sales.

Thank you for your point 3

Regards

Viewfinders are equally appreciated by Pros, also.

Now, it is very clear that, over a period, all these 3 types will merge into one category "Mirrorless"...

Dear @Venky_lightbug & @sonnyNg 

Thanks

Good post @TravellerG 

The Point and Shoot remains popular. I think most people who have them like them because usually they can carry them around in their pocket and while they do have a small sensor, the proper lens makes for better results than you get from an average phone camera. The lower end models are best avoided, they're often slow and don't use rechargeable batteries. When you're choosing from a point and shoot system make sure you try the camera to ensure the boot time (from power off to ready and sleep to ready) are quick enough for you and that the autofocus can actually focus on things in the light you're going to use.

Thank you very much dear @PaulPavlinovich for your detailed post & the 3 Specific guidance points:

1. To avoid lower end models for multiple reasons, including battery issue,
2. Boot in speed, which is again is very important,
3. Auto-focus capability, in the users light conditions and specific uses of the camera.

Regards

PS:

I have added relevant points in the main body of the post, thanks
