Difference between SLR and DSLR cameras.

Photographs are essential elements of memories. We all take photographs on special occasions or randomly to cherish some resplendent memories in future. We had photography in our last semester and one of my friends was sceptical regarding the difference between SLR and DSLR cameras. Therefore I decided to write a post on my blog instead! So that it helps various other people who find it difficult to comprehend the difference and consider both to be the same.

The basic difference between both the cameras is the way pictures are developed.  In an SLR (Single Lens Reflex) camera, films that are usually 35mm are used to record pictures, whereas in a DSLR (Digital version of SLR) camera, a memory card is used. It is a lot better than SLR because of advanced features and settings. It is a perfect choice for professional photographers, as they won’t need to change the memory card and can store a lot of amazing and breathtaking photographs.

There is also a vast difference between a DSLR and a plain Point and Shoot/ Compact camera. People sometimes use the term “DSLR” when they mean a plain digital camera. DSLRs are larger in size and more expensive. DSLRs are a bit intricate to use due to different settings. There is also a vast difference between the image qualities of the pictures taken by these two different cameras. Photographs clicked with a DSLR camera are certainly more superior. The lens of a DSLR camera is more complex and is manual whereas Compact digital cameras have automatic focus and zoom as high as 12 X.

We all love taking photographs irrespective of the fact whether we take pictures of finest/average/poorest quality. So grab your cam and keep clicking! J
