DSLR or Digital SLR or Digital Single Lens Reflex technology is used in DSLR digital cameras. Digital SLR technology is used to provide the view of what camera is currently capturing. Digital SLR is equally useful for novice and expert photographers, as this allows a preview in the Viewfinder unit of the camera, and gives photographer a fair idea of the scenario to be captured. Other reasons for the preference of Digital SLR based cameras are options to use different lenses according to the need and ability to capture images and videos even in the nighttime without flash. There are many advantages of using Digital SLR cameras, which cannot be found in conventional digital cameras.
Digital SLR cameras are speedier then their non-SLR digital counterpart cameras. Their response time is way quicker than other camera, despite of the fact that SLR based cameras rely on mechanical mechanism of opening and closing of the shutter. Actually in normal digital cameras there are no shutters and the sensor is invokes every time an image is captures. On the other hand, the DSLR cameras open and close the shutter almost immediately and there is a very little (in nanoseconds) propagation delay. This is a huge advantage, as many times due to delay the images are not captured as per the last seen view. If the subject that are being captured involve kids, animals or any scenario that may change position or disappear altogether immediately, even the minor of the delays can totally ruin the picture and in turn your mood.
Due to the ability of working with multiple lenses, DSLR cameras are fit for all kind of environments and are suitable to be used in both day and night time. So from micro to macro images, with the aid of the appropriate lens a DSLR camera is adequate for all the occasion. As a matter of fact, normal digital cameras are also furnished with adjustable zoom lenses and also allow the photographers to attach different lenses. However, if you add the previously mentioned time factor and the further delay it will take to zoom in or zoom out, DSLR will definitely come out as the winner. DSLR cameras have a feature known as ISO, which enables the photographer to capture the photographs even in the dark without using a flash. There is no compromise whatsoever on the quality of the image captured in the dark using DSLR cameras.
Professional photographers prefer DSLR cameras because such cameras provide them full control. Due to their professional requirements, they want to have the full control and do the necessary adjustments themselves, rather than following the automatic settings of the cameras. This may not exactly be an advantage for common users, as their requirements are not too technical and the usage is mostly domestic.
There are plenty of other advantages of using DSLR cameras, but the fact remains that for common users a normal digital camera is as good as anything, but when the needs are specific a DSLR camera is the preferred choice.
