What is the difference between a regular digital camera and an SLR digital camera?
What does SLR stand for when it comes to digital camera's?
SLR stands for single lens reflex. SLR (single lens reflex) refers to the way these camera's work. When a photographer presses the shutter button, a mirror flips out of the way to reveal the sensor. Some people also refer to them as DSLR, with the D being short for digital.
What are the main differences between a digital SLR camera, when compared to a point and shoot?
* One of the main differences between a point and shoot camera and a SLR digital camera is that an SLR has a detachable lens. In other words, you're not limited only to the lens that comes with the camera.
* SLR camera's also give you more control over manual settings such as exposure.
* In many cases they offer a higher resolution. 10mb resolutions are quite affordable nowadays for those purchasing their first SLR camera.
* Another advantage to SLR digital camera's is that they take photographs almost instantly with no lag time. This is useful when taking photographs of moving objects such as children.
Yea I guess you're right, just that point and click don't get near the quality of picture that SLR gets. But I guess for a photography hobby it's ok.
This is untrue, you just need to learn to use your camera well. I've seen lots of beautiful photos come from point and shoots.
Yea I really know nothing about that.. I just point my camera at things and take pics... Not sure how to be "artistic"
Yeah, i'm not saying the quality is worse...just that you have les flexibility with features, lenses, that kind of thing. They are usually best when just left on auto. SLR gives you lots of options when you want to go manual.
Then learn that first, a DSLR isn't going to improve your photos at all at this point.
