Next big purchase I'm thinking about is a camera. I've been wanting to get back into photography for a while now. Not sure what to get at this point though, gotta do some reading.

I don't really feel like doing any research so I'm just going to save up to get this, probably will be the next thing I purchase.Why mirrorless?

A mirrorless camera doesn't need to contain mirrors, so it can be made a lot smaller. I think the mirror is what you actually use look through the camera to see what is going on in front of you like in old fashion cameras. I have no idea though, I just did some quick googling because I'm curious too. It looks like mirrorless is superior.It's kind of debatable. The mirror isn't what you think - that's called the viewfinder. Plenty of mirrorless cameras still have one of those. The mirror is what reflects the light either into the viewfinder or onto the sensor, which is why you get that split second of darkness when you take a picture with a film or DLSR camera. The main benefits that mirrorless offers is that they can be smaller / lighter and have better video capabilities (4K/60fps) even on lower-end kits. The biggest downsides is that their battery drains a lot quicker, that there's not that many lenses available for them (yet) and that they're often more expensive than DSLR's offering pretty much the exact same thing. For me it's the lack of lenses that's the biggest issue. I also like the weight and feel of the DSLR much more (the mirrorless I've held feel more like those rectangular point-and-shoot cameras than serious gear) and am a big fan of Canon/Nikon - neither of which have embraced mirrorless yet. Mirrorless is going to be the future and be superior at some point but I don't think we're there yet. In your case, I probably would advise getting the one your friend suggested.
