What is the difference between a paraxial camera and a SLR camera?

The difference between paraxial camera and SLR camera: whether there is a reflector, different focus coverage and different shooting methods.

1. Is there a reflector? There is no reflector on the side shaft, which reduces the thickness of the camera and the vibration of the machine, and realizes the complete synchronization of the flash by using the shutter between mirrors. SLR has a mirror.

2. Different focus range: The focus range of paraxial camera is narrow, and the general wide-angle lens can be made very close to the negative, and its structure and imaging are better than that of SLR, so short and standard focal length are its strengths, and the telephoto is almost virtual. The advantage of SLR lies in its wide focal length coverage and unparalleled advantages in telephoto and macro.

3. Different shooting methods: the side shaft belongs to its ugly appearance, and you can see the scenery outside the picture through the viewfinder, and you can press the situation at any time, while the SLR directly presses the shutter to complete the shooting, which makes it impossible to shoot accurately.
