Differences:

The imaging principle of SLR cameras is completely different from that of card cameras, so the shooting effects are also different! Simply put, SLR can approximate the effect of human eye observation, combining virtual and real, and the card meticulously reflects the overall picture landscape!

The card machine has a stylish appearance, is compact, has a large screen, and has many functions!

The SLR looks bulky, but it has complex function keys and powerful imaging functions!

The lens of the card camera has few functions and poor imaging capabilities. It can only be used for travel photography and daily life photography, not professional photography!

DSLR can be used in many fields, including landscapes and portraits, but the lens is also very bulky and needs to be constantly replaced according to the needs of taking pictures, and the lens is very expensive!
