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.

    Question Looking to buy a capable camera smaller than a DSLR camera

    I currently have a Nikon D3300, which I really like. I mainly use the single-point AF feature, due to the excellent "depth of field" effect it gives on photos. However, the camera is too large and heavy for my trips abroad. I am hoping for some advice/suggestions with the following...
