While these masters of everything entertainment have been making audio and visual hardware for over 70 years, Sony only emerged in the world of photography in 1988. Their first product in the category was the Mavica—but their smash hit changed the market in 1998 with an external memory card, where most devices had previously used internal data storage. This removable memory card made data transferral easy and acted as a form of SD card. Every photo snapped with Sony lenses was stored right on that memory stick.

DSLR or Mirrorless?

When picking a Sony lens, it's important to check whether the accessory will actually fit your camera. That all depends on its brand and whether you own a mirrorless model or a version that's DSLR. (Hint: if you're not sure, give our experts a call at 800-860-3577 to double-check.) In the past, DSLR cameras have been considered more flexible. Users can switch out interchangeable lenses as often as they like for the desired effect—whether they're searching for a detailed shot or a zoomed-out look. However, that can mean your camera case (or even cases) can get heavy and loaded down with an extra-long magnifier and other accessories. That means that your expensive gear might end up banging against itself, and no one wants to spend time sorting through different accessories.

That's one reason that many beginner and intermediate artists are choosing new mirrorless offerings from Sony. These models tend to be smaller, thinner and less heavy than their DSLR siblings. Some versions can even change lenses while retaining strong image quality and unbeatable video capabilities, with other models capable of capturing the world in stunning 4K. The added functionality means that mirrorless models are beginning to beat back the popular DSLR. Which one is best for you depends upon a few factors like skill level, subject matter, battery life and included features.
