The Checklist Why DSLR Different From other Camera

In this checklist you will get to know about the differences between DSLR camera and normal camera.

1.     View Finder

One of the major differences between DSLR camera and compact camera is the way of viewing. You can capture the exact image, which you can see through the optical viewfinder of DSLR camera. On the other hand compact camera has an electronic or LCD screen, which is offset from the lens, and doesn’t matches with the viewfinder image.

2.     Image Quality with ISO Level

In image quality there is no alternative of DSLR camera. It can capture excellence image in low light with out noise. The reason is the photographic lens which makes exposure for image sensor and improves the image quality. And also for the high ISO level. On the other hand digital cameras have laggings to the image quality or require a flash in low light condition.

3.     Cameras Constriction

The camera body constriction itself makes DSLR totally different from other camera. The body of DSLR cameras is super heavy. The DSLR camera consist of Aperture, Sutter and lens which are the physical components of the camera, hence making DSLR camera looking large and expensive. 

Normal cameras are small and easy to carry. They don’t have physical Sutter or any mirror component like DSLR camera, hence making a compact camera less expensive.

4.     Camera Sensor Size

Basically DSLR cameras have larger image sensor than compact camera. And the image which captured with DSLR camera contains much more pixels. Compact cameras have small image sensor that’s why this types of camera provides less pixels.

5.     Lens

In this fact DSLR cameras always stand 1^st. Because the lens of DSLRs can be changed when need. If one wants to capture portrait one could use wide angle lens, and many other lens according to the situation. Compact cameras contain fixed lens. So no one can change it.

Under the circumstances we can easily realize why DSLR camera is different from compact camera. Let’s get enjoyed with DSLR having HD image quality. Taking images more fun!
