Camera basics:

What is camera?

A camera is an optical instrument that records images that can be stored directly, transmitted to another location, or both. These images may be still photographs or moving images such as videos or movies. The camera also record sound but not as preliminary function.

What is a DSLR Camera?

A DSLR is a digital single lens reflex camera. It's a digital camera that has a built-in. It goes through a focusing screen and a condenser lens, and then reflects off of a prism's walls to reach your eye.

You then get to see exactly what your lens does through the viewfinder. The mirror moves up to get out of the way when you press the shutter release, and the light flows through the lens to the digital sensor.

Photography: is the science, art, application and practice of creating durable images

Sensor Size and Image Quality

Generally speaking, the larger the sensor, the better the quality of the image. A large DSLR with a full-frame sensor of 20MP will produce far better images in terms of picture quality than a smartphone camera of the same megapixel count. Sometimes the smartphone or compact camera is just more convenient to carry and use, but when image quality counts, reach for the DSLR.

What is a Mirrorless Camera?

A mirrorless camera, as the name suggests, does not have a mirror mechanism. The full name for these cameras is a Mirrorless Interchangeable Lens Camera (MILC.)

The light passing through the lens ends up directly on the imaging sensor. Mirrorless cameras typically have electronic viewfinders, (EVF) since light is no longer reflected on to an optical viewfinder of the type we are all used to on our cameras (OVF.)
