Both DSLRs and mirrorless cameras can produce excellent images, and the "better" choice depends on individual needs and preferences. DSLRs offer a longer history of design refinement, potentially superior autofocus in some situations, and the traditional feel of an optical viewfinder. Mirrorless cameras are smaller, lighter, and often feature faster continuous shooting speeds and advanced autofocus features, like eye autofocus. They also excel in video capabilities and are continuously improving with new technology.
