They're actually called Digital SLRs because they have a Single Lens Reflex system. Not because you can change a lens, that's called having an interchangeable lens - like the new Micro 4/3 systems that are now out.
A little more research is required. A digital single lens reflex or DSLR isn't called a single lens reflex because it's ability to interchange lenses. It's called an SLR because of the mirror inside the camera to support it's TTL viewfinder.
What about some of the other fundamental differences, like the through-the-lens viewfinder and phase detection auto focus on the SLR? These things alone make it worth the switch imo.

@Jules7892 Proper Expert English Linguistics"NIKON".Since a FULL "O Vowel" is followed after the "K".IT makes and forces the "I" to become a hard "I" NOT a soft "I". Basic Elementary School Grammer in English, forces the "I" in NIKON to become a HARD "I" therefore forcing its TRUE English Interpretation to be Pronounced "NYEKON" NOT Neekon.Although,yes the Parts are Made in JAPAN,NIKONs are"ALL Assembled at NIKON Assembly Plant in Malaysia",So"NYEKON" Not a "Neekon".It is NOT a Snickers Neekon!!
"dslr" doesn't mean that the camera uses an interchangeable lens (fyi, there are also fixed-lens dslr's). The "d" stands for digital, and "slr" stands for single lens reflex, which deals with how light is manipulated within the camera.
i have had a point and shoot camera with 6x zoom it was nice. now i have a dslr with an 18-55mm lens that came with the kit.. anyway i want to be able to zoom in to distant things say 30x zoom in point and shoot terms. mine is a sony slr. how much will i have to spend on a lens to do that . also what lens how big and so on . really it is birds i like to get pics of . birds that are often far off up in tree or something and i dont want to use a tripod
i remember i was arguing with someone... they claim they can take JUST as good as photos with a point and shoot as my D5000 they said photography is simple and pictures are pictures. i love my SLR
@1994toyotasupra i wasn't calling you a noob. lol i was calling the person who said the point and shoots take just as good pictures. lol i'm a noob too. lol i've been shooting since xmas of 09.lol
@dsmrocker ohh , yeah he annoys the shit about it to me. hes like why buy that expensive of a camera is just stupid and i say ( mhm what ever you say cuz your right over anyone ) hes like one of those ignorant people
@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx875 by point and shoot you mean like at the time you click? or you have to wait 2 or x sec so the lens and flash work and them you have the pic? thats what i hate about digital cameras when i want a pic of a specific moven it take years to capture and when it does the moment is gone.
okay this may not pertain to this topic but.. I've been thinking of getting into film photography and buying a nikon fm 10. I have no clue what film photography is or its importance besides it using a film. how do you upload (if there is a way) film photographs on your computer. say if i wanted to upload so i can put it on on my myspace/facebook.? thanks.
I had a compact camera for a few years, and did loads of photography, so I decided that I'd do some research into SLR cameras, and decided to go with a sony a200, and the second I switched it on and took a shot, I think I fell in love with it, the picture quality, combined with the ability to get beautifully blurred backgrounds, and also the feel and weight of it, I rarely even touch my old P+S, now except for parties etc...
yes.... better depth of field, able to perform extremely well in low light-depending on your lens, and focus is faster and can catch many subjects with great quality.
Oh well, actually i think reflex cameras are called reflex because they have an internal mirror system that allows you to look at what the camera will take as a picture when you shoot. interchangeable lenses are just another feature. in fact, there are other non-dslr cameras that can interchange lenses!
guys if you never used a camera you should start with a compact.
practice with it,take thousands of shots and if you think you've become really talented at photographing and you want to take more professional photos then upgrade to slr.
you see people are taking driving lessons with (for example) an everyday Toyota and not with a Dodge Viper.
thanks alot. i always wanted a "professional looking camera" but i dont know where to start nor did i know what to call it.
i have a question though,
if you were to buy a digital SLR, with all its manual features would u need to take a photography class to use it? are they complex to understand and use?
i dont want to buy something that i'm not going to use to its full extend.
in my opinion, the d90's video isn't as bad as everyone says. the d90 itself is a great camera, and it's a bonus that it can record hd video as well..so it's convenient!
yes thats what Im saying dslrs are for foto shooting which means dont have video recording... that many people including me need that badly.. i upload videos on youtube and a cheap compact camera video recording makes my day
anyway my point is dslrs are too much expensive although price drop
just for 3 frame a second and little better noise reduction I dont wanna spend extra 1000$
just for 3 frmaes a second and noise reduction? lol u must read a lot more about dslr cameras. well yes they are heavier but i will say the disadvantage is more the fact that it isnt too secure to walk around with it
I am about to buy a d40, i know that it does not have a built in motor, but i am ok with that because i would rather buy a d40 and have money left for extra batteries and cases and stuff, which brings me to two questions i have for you because you own so many of these. 1) is the Nikon d40 have a good battery life? 2) although it is not a d60 or d80, does the d40 still maintain the picture quality to capture sunsets and edit them with software and stuff?
the nikon d40 has plenty of quality, just less mega pixels. Also I do not own all the cameras I review. I only own the d300. I know about other cameras because I either borrow them or use them in a store. The battery life of the d40 is great.
ok thanks. im still going to want some extra batteries, im gonna order generics off of ebay. they are still lithiom ion and should hold a good charge.
They are NOT called SLR's because they have interchangeble lenses ! .... Single Lens Reflex simply implies that it uses one set of optic that give both the user view AND the image on the film plane .... its nothing to do with lens changeability ..GET IT RIGHT ! ;-D
I think there is a bigger difference between a DSLR and a digi compact than a film SLR and a quality film compact, due to the digi compacts tiny sensors.
Nicely done. You speak well and clearly and know the subject well.
One point I'd add, is that when making enlargements, one often crops to part of the image. In such cases the larger sensor's quality will become evident even at smaller print sizes.
Also, I'm skeptical about 11 x 14s made with the G7 vs the D80. But, maybe you're right - I'm just guessing.
Thanks for the overview... It really enlightens me but I am still undecided if I will get the SLR or the compact cam coz I really wanted the best but the only thing is the size of the DSLR turns me off, so huge and bulky.
This video needs to be edited! You didnt explain any of the basics even a little, "you can switch lenses" blehand nothing is said about aperture, contrast! You dont even explain what "slr" single lens reflex is or stands for! What about depth and preview. What about zoom contrasts and frame how about light! Argrgr ...thank you rorybaker45 for filling us in!
One thing I think that you left out is that an SLR is a single reflex lens, this is where a miror covers the sensor and when you take the picture it folds down and hits the sensor and goes up. Compared to a compact camera uses a combination 1s and 0s that tell what colors go where and when you take a picture it freezes that code of 1s and 0s and gives you a picture. Another thing is that the smaller filter gives you more compression in jpeg format than a dslr... Just though I'd let ya know....
what kind of case should you use for a compact that allow you to easily tuck the neck strap into the bag. THose little belt camera pouches are to small for this
I think you were wrong when you said the G7 is an all plastic body. It has a metal alloy body (possibly magnesium) but there are parts that are plastic.
One of the most important reasons for me buying a dslr was, because of the larger sensor, you also have a better control over depth of filed because the depth of field of a point&shoot is just ridicoulously huge and I'm a bokeh fan
question i wanna ask you because it seems to me u know ur stuff quite well. Lets say i take a pic wit a compact digital camara and it has 10mp and then i take a pic wit lets say a d60 wit 10mp as well, which photo is gonna look better and why? thats what i cant quite understand with the photo quality wise. id really appreciate if u can answer that
An slr will be better because it has a sensor that is many times larger than a compact cameras sensor. The large sensor allows each pixel to absorb more light producing pictures with less noise and much better color accuracy.
i just got my d60 today, you should make a vid like how to use shutter speed and aperture in like different enviorments. ur shooting pics in a thunderstorm helped alot.
recomend induro or gitzo? I´ve red some tests and induro was at first place with 77 points and manfrotto and gitzo 66/63..I´am not sure which to buy...
- induro was far away more stabil at difrent surface that other tripod including gitzo and manfrotto
Because the D80 is a lot cheaper and you get most of the basics. The D90 does have a better (CMOS) sensor than the D80, more megapixels, larger (and more pixel density) LCD, and a video mode among other things. But for an extra 300-400 dollars, it's up to the individual whether or not it's worth it.
once you're over 6 or so MP, there isn't any noticeable difference. i just bought a d80. i was torn between the d80 and the d90, but for me the sensor and the lcd weren't enough to justify the extra money. with the money i saved i was able to get an sb-600 and a 55-200 vr
Hey, good evening! I just bought a D80 this week...my first DSLR!! Proud Pappa...I love this baby, man! I got the 18-135mm and they threw in a 'free' Quantaray 55-200mm lens. So, how good, in your opinion, is that 70-300mm vr lens? I totally want that, but it'll be awhile. Gotta get a speedlite first...the SB800. What do you think?
i dunno what to get out of the d40 and d40x (or maybe D80?), with the d40x being more expensive, i might go for the d40 but is the d40x better in different ways than more mega pixels? its my first DSLR and the top of my budget is about £375 (maybe could stretch to £400!). Could you help me with a reply? and also what about lenses and other stuff to go with it? any reccomendations?
go with the d40, its a great price. less than some compact cameras. for lenses i suggest you get the nikon 18-70mm and 70-300mm vr. if that is too much than get the nikon d40 with the nikon 18-55mm and 55-200mm vr.
why is he pronouncing nikon like ney-con is not call ney-con is call nikon as nee-kon is not that hard. americans do that with iraq they say hi-riq lol i find americans abit funny lol
The video is great. You just forgot one thing. To mention that size of sensor inflicts with DOF. With SLR cameras is easy to get shallow DOF...but with compact or p&s that is just difficult...
Would be great to see the comparison of a phone cameras sensor compared to a compact and a SLR sensor is there any good sites I could get this information from?
You get serious. I said compact camera's and phone camera's. The latest camera phones have had great reveiws and in daylight conditions can match consumer compact for image quality. The compact camera market is becoming saturated and most people don't understand sensor size and how more mega-pixels create more noise especially on smaller sensors. So piss off you gimp.
"comparison of a phone cameras sensor compared to a compact and a SLR sensor"-- do you even know what you said? and by the way that is just sensor...why is that so important on camera...i mean it inflict directly on quality of picture but that is not the first and the last thing on camera...
...and forget phone camera's, they are just for kids...or imagined photographers...
if you look to what i put before that I said ''Great review brilliantly explained would be great to see a comparison of a compact camera and a phone camera'' Pixel size is not important but most people believe that having more pixels give you a better picture. Phone cameras are for kids so are compact cameras so your point is?
The smaller the camera the more noise you get especially if that camera dosent have a view finder most camera phones and point and shoot have lcd screens now sow in poor lighing and even in good lighting your sill going to get an un Godly amount of color and luminat noise where as an slr you get very little luminant noise and no color noise
that is a great range and both of those lenses are great. the only other lens you might need is an ultra wide angle if your into landscape. i would suggest either the nikon 12-24mm if you have the money or the tokina 12-24mm if you want the best bang for your bucks.
Hey, i recently purchased a Nikon D80 along with a 18-55 lens and a 70-300mm lens, and I've got to say, that the Nikon D80 is the best camera I've ever owned, it is easy to use for beginners but also offers professional features. Currently i have a lens rage from 18-300mm, so i'm just curious as to which lens i should next purchase. Your opinion would be appreciated. ;)
Just like AConfire said, Olympus made a lot of 35mm SLRs with fixed zoom lens (the IS serie I think), and digital cameras like the Olympus E-10 and E-20 are SLRs too even if they have a fixed lens. Just some examples.
Just a quick note... SLR doesn't mainly mean Interchangeable lens's. SLR means that you see the image straight through the lens. What you see through the viewfinder is what you will be getting. You look in the viewfinder = straight through the lens.

They are NOT called SLR's because they have interchangeble lenses ! .... Single Lens Reflex simply implies that it uses one set of optic that give both the user view AND the image on the film plane .... its nothing to do with lens changeability ..GET IT RIGHT ! ;-D

I think there is a bigger difference between a DSLR and a digi compact than a film SLR and a quality film compact, due to the digi compacts tiny sensors.
ajuk1 2 years ago
Nicely done. You speak well and clearly and know the subject well.
One point I'd add, is that when making enlargements, one often crops to part of the image. In such cases the larger sensor's quality will become evident even at smaller print sizes.
Also, I'm skeptical about 11 x 14s made with the G7 vs the D80. But, maybe you're right - I'm just guessing.

Thanks for the overview... It really enlightens me but I am still undecided if I will get the SLR or the compact cam coz I really wanted the best but the only thing is the size of the DSLR turns me off, so huge and bulky.

This video needs to be edited! You didnt explain any of the basics even a little, "you can switch lenses" blehand nothing is said about aperture, contrast! You dont even explain what "slr" single lens reflex is or stands for! What about depth and preview. What about zoom contrasts and frame how about light!

One thing I think that you left out is that an SLR is a single reflex lens, this is where a miror covers the sensor and when you take the picture it folds down and hits the sensor and goes up. Compared to a compact camera uses a combination 1s and 0s that tell what colors go where and when you take a picture it freezes that code of 1s and 0s and gives you a picture. Another thing is that the smaller filter gives you more compression in jpeg format than a dslr... Just though I'd let ya know....

I think you were wrong when you said the G7 is an all plastic body. It has a metal alloy body (possibly magnesium) but there are parts that are plastic.

One of the most important reasons for me buying a dslr was, because of the larger sensor, you also have a better control over depth of filed because the depth of field of a point&shoot is just ridicoulously huge and I'm a bokeh fan

question i wanna ask you because it seems to me u know ur stuff quite well. Lets say i take a pic wit a compact digital camara and it has 10mp and then i take a pic wit lets say a d60 wit 10mp as well, which photo is gonna look better and why? thats what i cant quite understand with the photo quality wise. id really appreciate if u can answer that
mikenyesi123 3 years ago
An slr will be better because it has a sensor that is many times larger than a compact cameras sensor. The large sensor allows each pixel to absorb more light producing pictures with less noise and much better color accuracy.
QQQQcon 3 years ago
ohh ok so the slr will give a much softer crisper pic right?

Akiston 3 years ago
Why ?
The D90 just came out.
IdiotsGon3Wild 3 years ago
Because the D80 is a lot cheaper and you get most of the basics. The D90 does have a better (CMOS) sensor than the D80, more megapixels, larger (and more pixel density) LCD, and a video mode among other things. But for an extra 300-400 dollars, it's up to the individual whether or not it's worth it.
ParadoxlnABox 3 years ago
once you're over 6 or so MP, there isn't any noticeable difference. i just bought a d80. i was torn between the d80 and the d90, but for me the sensor and the lcd weren't enough to justify the extra money. with the money i saved i was able to get an sb-600 and a 55-200 vr

So, how good, in your opinion, is that 70-300mm vr lens? I totally want that, but it'll be awhile. Gotta get a speedlite first...the SB800. What do you think?

i dunno what to get out of the d40 and d40x (or maybe D80?), with the d40x being more expensive, i might go for the d40 but is the d40x better in different ways than more mega pixels? its my first DSLR and the top of my budget is about £375 (maybe could stretch to £400!). Could you help me with a reply? and also what about lenses and other stuff to go with it? any reccomendations?
Thanks very much

go with the d40, its a great price. less than some compact cameras. for lenses i suggest you get the nikon 18-70mm and 70-300mm vr. if that is too much than get the nikon d40 with the nikon 18-55mm and 55-200mm vr.
QQQQcon 3 years ago

Okay, great video, you seem to know a lot about slrs. Now I've finally decided on the Nikon d80, so what lense is better,
the nikor 18-70mm or the 18-135mm?

I would get the 18-70mm. If you get that one then i would also get the 70-300mm vr lens.

No one will do that. It's just stupid. SLR camera's are for serious use...and cameras in phones are just for play...be serious...
pravedni87 4 years ago
You get serious. I said compact camera's and phone camera's. The latest camera phones have had great reveiws and in daylight conditions can match consumer compact for image quality. The compact camera market is becoming saturated and most people don't understand sensor size and how more mega-pixels create more noise especially on smaller sensors. So piss off you gimp.
springbox1982 4 years ago
"comparison of a phone cameras sensor compared to a compact and a SLR sensor"-- do you even know what you said? and by the way that is just sensor...why is that so important on camera...i mean it inflict directly on quality of picture but that is not the first and the last thing on camera...
...and forget phone camera's, they are just for kids...or imagined photographers...
...be well!
pravedni87 4 years ago
if you look to what i put before that I said ''Great review brilliantly explained would be great to see a comparison of a compact camera and a phone camera'' Pixel size is not important but most people believe that having more pixels give you a better picture. Phone cameras are for kids so are compact cameras so your point is?
springbox1982 4 years ago
The smaller the camera the more noise you get especially if that camera dosent have a view finder most camera phones and point and shoot have lcd screens now sow in poor lighing and even in good lighting your sill going to get an un Godly amount of color and luminat noise where as an slr you get very little luminant noise and no color noise
GospelofTheCrown89 3 years ago
Great review brilliantly explained would be great to see a comparison of a compact camera and a phone camera.
springbox1982 4 years ago
that is a great range and both of those lenses are great. the only other lens you might need is an ultra wide angle if your into landscape. i would suggest either the nikon 12-24mm if you have the money or the tokina 12-24mm if you want the best bang for your bucks.

Hey, i recently purchased a Nikon D80 along with a 18-55 lens and a 70-300mm lens, and I've got to say, that the Nikon D80 is the best camera I've ever owned, it is easy to use for beginners but also offers professional features. Currently i have a lens rage from 18-300mm, so i'm just curious as to which lens i should next purchase. Your opinion would be appreciated. ;)

Just like AConfire said, Olympus made a lot of 35mm SLRs with fixed zoom lens (the IS serie I think), and digital cameras like the Olympus E-10 and E-20 are SLRs too even if they have a fixed lens. Just some examples.
WiiFi 4 years ago
Just a quick note... SLR doesn't mainly mean Interchangeable lens's. SLR means that you see the image straight through the lens. What you see through the viewfinder is what you will be getting. You look in the viewfinder = straight through the lens.
