From a single domain, MirrorLessons grew into various websites and channels dedicated to photography over the years. Then, in 2024, we made the decision to pursue new projects outside the camera industry.
Here is an overview of everything we’ve done so far.
MirrorLessons
MirrorLessons isn’t just the name of our project: it is also our original website.
Driven by our passion for photography, we started it at the beginning of 2013 with the goal of writing honest and personal reviews of mirrorless cameras. We also included first impressions, reports from the most important photography shows, in-depth articles about specific functionalities of a camera, essays, tips and tricks, interviews and other interesting content.
Today, our focus has shifted to other subjects; therefore, we’re no longer updating mirrorlessons.com. You can access the archive of our camera reviews here.
Mirrorless Comparison
The number of mirrorless cameras and brands involved in the mirrorless sector is growing with each passing year, generating lots of confusion about which model to choose. This is why we came up with a new website that migrates the old comparison category of MirrorLessons into a brand new platform: Mirrorless Comparison.
On Mirrorless Comparison, we compared the latest mirrorless cameras and lenses with real world tests and images. Some of these comparisons took as long as a month to complete because we always made sure to use the cameras for a suitable length of time, double-check our findings, and share the most complete feedback possible.
In 2024, we decided to move away from camera reviews, which means we no longer publish new articles on Mirrorless Comparison.
Mirrorless Curation
With Mirrorless Curation, our aim was to give back to the mirrorless community by curating the work of other photographers, as well as articles and reviews we feel are worth sharing. We also used it as a platform to share all sorts of news related to the mirrorless world such as product announcements, firmware updates, software updates and more.
However, because of the increasing time required to run the other websites and our YouTube channel, we had to abandon Mirrorless Curation as it was becoming impossible to keep up with everything.
YouTube Channel
Reviewing cameras online has made us very aware of what type of content people enjoy and consume. This is why we also shared our reviews in video format on our YouTube Channel.
We also posted sample footage and videos recorded with mirrorless cameras, 4K comparisons and other interesting content.
As with our other camera-related website, our channel is no longer being updated, as we are now focusing on new projects.
Instant Camera Blog
Instant Camera Blog was a small side project we ran for a few years after we began experimenting with instant film cameras, such as the Instax Mini series. There you’ll find reviews, comparisons and lots of tips/tricks to help you get the most out of your instant camera.
Language-related websites
In 2019, we embarked on a new venture that, for the first time, didn’t involve cameras. We sought to nurture another passion of ours: languages. Starting with Italian seemed like the natural choice, given our shared connection to Italy, where we first met. On Daily Italian Words, we share Italian words, phrases, and idioms every week, along with in-depth blog posts about the language.
By the end of 2023, we expanded with We Learn Welsh, which follows the same concept but is dedicated to the language of the country where we live, Wales.
We Travel Wales
Our most recent project, We Travel Wales, began at the start of 2025 and is our way of paying tribute to this beautiful country we’re lucky to call home.
