Interesting, so can someone explain, for a thicky like me, why mirrorless is good? What exactly does it do/mean?

Mirrorless technology eliminates the mirror and prism housing that holds it making the camera much smaller. And, because there's no moving mirror there's no movement and vibration.

...and also saves space - so you can end up with a smaller camera

One of the big attractions is when Canon & Nikon join the party they will provide the 'adaptor mount' so all our lenses can be used with them.
