Micro Mirrorless camera system is a new Kickstarter campaign trying to balance compactness, quality, usability, and affordability. The outcome is an extremely compact interchangeable lens system aimed at travelers, content creators, and smartphone upgraders. Some details are yet to be disclosed as the new product seems to be in its early prototyping stages, but we’ll try to figure out this unique offering, hoping to get a working sample for further review in the near future. The concept of a small sensor interchangeable lens is quite charming, but no system smaller than Micro Four Thirds has managed to prove sustainability. There weren’t so many to start with, but Nikon’s “1” series was probably the most successful. Based on a 1″ sensor (x2.7 crop factor, about half the size of Micro Four Thirds), this system consisted of several camera bodies and a dozen lenses. Another system that seems a bit more closely related to the Micro Mirrorless camera system is the Pentax Q. This system forfeited professional aspiration for a more “chilled”, playful experience. A much smaller 1/2.3″ (x5.6 crop factor) sensor was used (with an upgraded 1/1.7″ for the “higher” models) and several lenses, including some “toy lenses”.
