| Digital single-lens reflex cameras | Digital single-lens reflex cameras (Digital SLRs or DSLRs) operate on the same principle as standard film single-lens reflex cameras. The key difference is that the film is replaced with an electronic sensor (such as a CCD or CMOS sensor), giving the advantage of needing no film and other features common to digital cameras. Like SLRs, DSLRs are often used by professional photographers and advanced amateurs. (references) | ||
