What's the point of a digital SLR?*
With a film camera, you can't look through the same lens that the film uses unless you have a reflex camera (mirror flips to let light go to the film).
With a digital camera, you can look at the digitized image itself.* That is, the light goes onto the imaging plate, it's digitized, and you can look at the exact image with an LCD screen or with a viewfinder that looks at that image.* My old mavica let me look at the image itself through the viewfinder.
I may be missing something, but it seems that a digital SLR is really silly.* As if people are used to the good cameras being SLR, so they think that a DSLR would be better.* *If I'm missing something, let me know what it is.
