Most of us wonder, what probably is the difference between digital point and shoot cameras and Digital SLR Cameras? The features might look the same, so does the performance- but, actually that’s not the case. The catch here is that Digital SLR cameras work on a reflex design scheme, which their digital counterpart does not.

The reflex design scheme in Digital SLR Cameras allow the camera’s screen to be used as an electronic viewfinder by consistently exposing the sensor to the light projected by the lens. The light from the scene can reach either the viewfinder or the sensor, according to the viewing position of the reflex mirror. Older models of Digital SLR Cameras did not have live preview, but the option has been incorporated in the newer DSLR models.

Professional still photographers prefer Digital SLR Cameras over the others, as they facilitate an accurate preview of framing close to the moment of exposure and depth of field. Large sensors are the other main reason why many professionals prefer DSLRs to other compact digitals, as comparatively large sensors ensure similar depths of field and picture angle to film formats.

Digital SLR Cameras are available in a variety of interchangeable lenses according to the user’s needs. One should preferably buy these lenses from the same manufacturer as the camera body to avoid any compatibility issues. Digital SLR Camera Prices in India largely depend on the manufacturer, and the specifications associated. Some of the major manufacturers of Digital SLR Cameras include Sony, Nikon, Kodak, Panasonic, Fuji, Canon and Olympus.
