So why not ILEV? Oh, that's right. You're a low-life completely insecure DSLT-TROLL of a toad. You have to choose another derogatory name for anything that's not like your rube-goldberg mechanical contraption of a camera from last century. ILC suffices quite nice.

The "single lens" in SLR is referring to the viewfinder and camera lens as being one in the same. It has nothing to do with interchangeable lenses, but this is a feature found on most SLR cameras. > But since the term exists, why not go the whole hog and use "mirrorless > SLR" for something which is neither reflex nor single lens. Some people seem to like using this term, despite it being self-contradictory. I personally prefer EVIL (Electronic Viewfinder, Interchangeable lens).

Further, it distinguishes an SLR from a twin-lens reflex, a type that has pretty much vanished from the market. >> But since the term exists, why not go the whole hog and use "mirrorless >> SLR" for something which is neither reflex nor single lens. > > Some people seem to like using this term, despite it being > self-contradictory. > I personally prefer EVIL (Electronic Viewfinder, Interchangeable lens). I like that.
