What Does DSLR Mean? More Baffling Stuff Explained In Less Than 10 Minutes

A DSLR is a digital single-lens reflex camera. Digital refers to the sensor in the camera, which takes digital images, not film. Single-lens is the (single) camera lens that you look through when you are taking a photo. Reflex is the pentaprism and mirror arrangement built into the camera, enabling you to look through the camera lens rather than a separate viewfinder.
