SLR is poor for three generations, and photography destroys life. What does this mean? Does it mean that being a photographer is a profession that burns money?

The simple explanation of "SLR is poor for three generations, and photography destroys life" is that people who play SLR spend three generations to buy SLR, and photography will destroy life. From the side, it reflects that SLR holders love it very much, and even the "poor three generations" are willing to pay for it.

This sentence is a mockery of the high price of photographic equipment. Because SLR cameras and their spare parts are expensive, SLR enthusiasts often need the integrity of related accessories, including supports, lenses and other consumables, in order to pursue the high quality of SLR cameras.

But at the same time, the high price of tens of thousands of dollars is a problem that SLR enthusiasts have to face.

Characteristics of SLR cameras

A major feature of SLR digital cameras is that they can change lenses of different specifications, which is an inherent advantage of SLR cameras and incomparable to ordinary digital cameras.

In the area of photosensitive elements (CCD or CMOS) related to the photographic quality of digital cameras, the area of SLR digital cameras is much larger than that of ordinary digital cameras, which makes the photosensitive area of each pixel of SLR digital cameras much larger than that of ordinary digital cameras.

Therefore, each pixel can show a more detailed brightness and color range, which makes the photographic quality of SLR digital cameras significantly higher than that of ordinary digital cameras.
