Full origin of SLR →Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between an SLR and a DSLR?
The mechanism is the same; the difference is what records the image. An SLR exposes film, a DSLR exposes a digital sensor. Almost every SLR sold today is a DSLR.
What is the difference between a DSLR and a mirrorless camera?
A DSLR bounces light off a mirror into an optical viewfinder, so you see the scene directly. A mirrorless camera removes the mirror and shows you the sensor's feed on a screen, which makes the body smaller and lighter.
