What's the difference between a digital camera and a SLR camera?

The main differences between digital cameras and SLR cameras are as follows:

1. mirror: SLR cameras are designed with replaceable mirrors, and different shooting effects can be achieved by removing and replacing the mirrors. On the other hand, digital cameras have no mirrors, and light directly enters the sensor.

2. Image quality and imaging: Generally speaking, SLR cameras have higher image quality and better imaging ability. Because SLR cameras use larger sensors, they have higher pixels, lower noise and clearer photo details than digital cameras.

3. Operation and shooting experience: SLR cameras are equipped with more physical control buttons, so users can adjust camera parameters more intuitively. At the same time, the SLR camera adopts a better autofocus system and a shorter shutter delay time, which is more convenient for users to take moving or dynamically changing photos.

4. Appearance and volume: SLR cameras are bulky, and the weight behind the lens is heavier, which is not as convenient as portable digital cameras.

It should be noted that although SLR cameras have obvious advantages in image quality, function and shooting experience, they are usually expensive and need more experience and time to operate. For some ordinary users and novices, it may be more appropriate to choose a digital camera.
