Mirrorless seen as better than DSLR for first interchangeable-lens camera

An analysis says consumers buying their first interchangeable-lens camera may be better off choosing mirrorless models rather than DSLRs, as most new autofocus, video and lens development is focused on mirrorless systems. Engadget said mirrorless lineups now span entry-level APS-C to professional full-frame models, making them a simpler choice for many beginners. DSLRs still offer longer battery life and can match image quality, while existing DSLR users may have less reason to switch.
