DIFFERENT BETWEEN DIGITAL CAMERA AND DSLR

Well the major difference between a digital cams and DSLRs is in the way of viewing the picture or the scene. 
Digital cams use LCD or an Electronic Viewfinder while the DSLR or the so called Digital Single Lens Reflex have the optical viewfinders, this means it consist of a return mirror and a pentaprism.

Another difference between the two includes the chip size, Most DSLRs use an imaging.
There are DSLRs with 6 Megapixel chips, and the digital cams with 8 Megapixel, as far as I know, Megapixel are only part of the image quality, and frequently not important. The Size and weight between the two are also different.



DSLR are excellent in image quality at low ISO level, lower noise at a high ISO level, have a wide range of exchangeable lenses, the availability of Image lenses, much brighter and clearer viewfinder compared to the digital cams. DSLR have a high frames rates even if you are in a RAW mode settings and allowing rapid shooting without freezing.

Digital Cameras are smaller and lighter weight. The zoom lens is included depending on the price. No shutter and mirror noise. Macro shooting accessibility without other lenses depending on the model; Tilting and revolving the LCDs are allow for framing purposes at short angles. Depth of field at any given image exaggeration and the switching between LCD and EVF (Electronic Viewer Finder) is slow.



Size and Weight

Anyone who wants a camera that fits in their pocket can forget all about digital SLRs.
Size and weight is the second most obvious difference between SLR and compact digital cameras after price. Even a small-sized digital SLR camera is twice the size and bulk of a compact camera.
While there are many new digital SLR models that are more portable (and are easier to travel with) the addition of a lens to your camera ensures that you'll never be able to stow it away in your shirt pocket or purse.


So What Should You Buy?

Even though I've talked about the difference between SLR and digital compact cameras you still might be on the fence.
Here are a few questions that might help you make up your mind:
  • Do you want to take more professional-looking photos?
  • Do you want to create high-definition home movies?
  • Do you want to be able to change the lens attached to your camera?
  • Do you want more control over the photos that you take?
  • Are you sick and tired of the slow speed of your compact camera?
  • Do you want to take lots of photos in dim light?
If your answered YES to every question, get a digital SLR. You'll be happier in the long run.
If your answered NO to every question, so u might be cHoose Digital Compact :D .
