Digital single-lens reflex camera
A digital single-lens reflex camera (also called a digital SLR or DSLR) is a digital camera combining the optics and the mechanisms of a single-lens reflex camera with a digital imaging sensor, as opposed to photographic film.
The reflex design scheme is the primary difference between a DSLR and other digital cameras. In the reflex design, light travels through the lens, then to a mirror that alternates to send the image to either the viewfinder or the image sensor. The alternative would be to have a viewfinder with its own lens, hence the term "single lens" for this design.
By using only one lens, the viewfinder of a DSLR presents an image that will not perceptibly differ from what is captured by the camera's sensor.
DSLRs largely replaced film-based SLRs during the 2000s, and despite the rising popularity of mirrorless system cameras in the early 2010s, DSLRs remained the most common type of interchangeable lens camera in use as of 2014.

    Buying Advice - Beginner DSLR

    Sorry if this has been asked a million times before. Got a hankering for a DSLR, had one before and sold it (Nikon D3100). I didn't really use it enough, I think mainly because of the pain of transferring images to a laptop before being able to use them anywhere. With that in mind I am...

    I use a Fuji XE1 camera and I would like to fit a Mic to hot shoe. I just want to pick up ambient noises; birds, light wind etc. The built in mic makes wind sound like noise. Any suggestions please. A budget model will suit as anything over 100Euro is beyond what I can afford. Is such a Mic...

    Hey everyone, I bought a 2nd hand camera off somebody on eBay, and it turns out to have something wrong with it. The guy won’t accept a return either. When I take photos with the lens fully collapsed, I get small shadows on each corner of the image. The lens is also loose, and completely...
