im not sure what SLR stands for Single Lense Reflex. When you look through the camera, you are actually looking through the lense. single lens reflex single lens reflex...link below single lens reflex
read about it more so you will understand it SLR = Single Lens Reflex. In a nutshell it means your viewfinder image and the actual picture image is made through the same lens.
This is as oppsed to TLRs (Twin Lens Reflex) where you have a different lens for focusing and picture taking (normally one above the other) and rangfinders/compacts where the viewfinder is mounted somewhere else on the body (normally above the picture taking lens). This may pose an issue when taking extreme closeups where parallax errors may occur. single lens reflex, which means the image is focused through the lens, of course. In simple layman terms, SLR typically refers to higher end cameras that allows you to change the lens from standard 50mm to wide angle to long zoom lens like 200mm. They will also have the full functionality of allowing you to control features such as aperture, speed, ISO etc.
The other lower end of the scale are the compact digital camera where the camera body and lens are integrated. What you see is what you get and there is nothing you can change about the lens.
One thing you notice is that they are large compared to the typical compact digital camera you see in the shops.
If you see a price tag of over $1000, it gotta be a digital SLR. By this time you known about SLR. It is related to lens through which light enter into camara. "Digital" is related to type of formet to which saving the object. If you haven't received an answer yet... SLR stands for Single Lens Reflex. It's the kind of camera used by professionals, such as in modeling studios and those who take pictures for journals, such as National Geographic.
Even though these are cameras are used by professionals, beginners use them, too. There are three different kinds of SLRs... (1) the F/SLR (F for film) (2) the D/SLR (D for digital and (3) the P/D/SLR (P for professional).
Even though professionals use the first two, the PDSLR camera is the best of them all. Usually with price tags range from $3999 to $8999 (body only... no lens). Many lenses can cost as much or close to a PDSLR camera body with megapixels pushing 20mp's.
I have a Nikon D50 DSLR, which is a good camera for beginners and enthusiasts. It's also good for a professional if he/she can't afford the PDSLRs nor can afford a high-end DSLR, which start around $1200. I hope all of this helped!
God bless! :) |
