"Mike Warren" wrote in message I don't quite understand why since I thought "reflex" referred to the moving mirror. AFAIK it does. Actually it refers to the folded light path leading to the viewfinder. In the SLR that's usually done with the moving mirror. |

wrote: Hi, I am a newcomer to photography.Just tell me the difference between a SLR and SLR like camera.For example Canon EOS 350D is an (D)SLR and Fuji S5500 is called an 'SLR like' camera..By single lens reflex I suppose that what you see through the view finder is what you are going to get as the image.i.e front end optics for both the viewfinder and image capturing mechanism are same. Both of these cameras satisfies my definition.But only one is qualified as an SLR why ?? I think they're making a distinction between a camera with interchangeable lenses (SLR) and a camera with a fixed non-interchangeable lens (SLR like). Yes. It's a non-obvious, non-logical, non-official quirk of the terminology, but that's the way people got used to using the terms from the 1950s until the 1990s, or some such. And, for many purposes of discussion, Leica rangefinders were grouped with the "SLRs" during those periods -- because they were 35mm cameras used by serious photographers. Nobody would have said that an M3 *was* an SLR, but their users shared many of the same interests anyway. For a lot of purposes, the interchangeable lenses were *more* important than the viewing through the taking lens. -- David Dyer-Bennet, , http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/ RKBA: http://noguns-nomoney.com/ http://www.dd-b.net/carry/ Pics: http://dd-b.lighthunters.net/ http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/ Dragaera/Steven Brust: http://dragaera.info/ |
