CSC (Compact System Camera)

A compact system camera (CSC) is a digital camera with interchangeable lenses but no mirror inside. It is also called a mirrorless camera. Without the mirror and optical viewfinder of a DSLR, the body can be smaller and lighter, while offering similar controls and image quality.

The image is viewed on the rear screen or through an electronic viewfinder. Some models have no viewfinder at all.
