What is a DSLR camera?
"You’ve finally gotten tired of your old point-and-shoot camera. The pictures and videos aren’t so hot and sometimes it moves slower than an old lady with a walker, so you often miss getting that great shot. A great solution is a DSLR, a digital single-lens reflex camera. Basically, DSLRs are like point-and-shoots but the overall quality and response is so much better. Let’s discuss what really sets them apart from basic cameras so you get on the right path.
DSLRs have built-in mirrors (reflex) so the image you see bounces up to the viewfinder. It passes through a focusing screen and a condenser lens, and then reflects off of a prism’s walls to reach your eye. This allows you to see exactly what the lens sees through the viewfinder. When you hit the shutter release the mirror flips up to get out of the way. Once this happens, the shutter opens and let the light pass through the lens to imaging sensor which is rated in megapixels (MP).
Simply put, a DSLR is just a camera that uses mirrors and interchangeable lenses. One of the best features of a DSLR is the ability to switch lenses. Each delivers a new and invigorating view. There are telephoto lenses, wide-angles, fisheyes and many more. A telephoto lens lets you see farther so you can zoom in on a far away subject, a wide-angle lens allows a wider field of view which is great for landscapes and a fisheyes are extra wide-angle lenses that distort images in unique ways.
