I’ve wanted to look inside the new Canon and Nikon mirrorless cameras since the moment they were announced, so I’m probably more excited about this than you guys are.

Camera companies are clearly making new tech with these mirrorless models, not just repackaging the old. Hailed as one of the optic nerds here, I enjoy shooting collimated light through 30X microscope objectives in my spare time. Soldering the SD assembly to the board is the way it’s usually done.
