In the spectrum of camera ease and simplicity of use point and shoot cameras are at one end while SLRs are in the other end. The single-lens reflex (SLR) camera uses an automatic moving mirror system which permits the photographer to see exactly what will be captured by the film or digital imaging system. In non-SLR cameras the view through the viewfinder could be significantly different from what was captured on film. Up until the 1990s SLR was the most advanced preview system. But recent developments in digital imaging technology with an on-camera live LCD preview screen have overshadowed the SLR’s popularity.
