What exactly is a Digital SLR?
: The term Digital SLR means digital single lens reflex and is named this because these cameras all use a mirror positioned behind the DSLR camera lens to direct the light towards the viewfinder when you are composing a photograph. What exactly does this mean? The picture you take will be higher quality, and it will be the same as the image you view through the lens. The SLR design allows a single camera to use a very wide range of lens focal lengths. This is arguably the primary reason that SLRs dominate quality photography. Back to top.
