One of the prizes on Lucky Hammer at the moment is a Nikon Digital SLR Camera. We've had a few people getting in touch to ask what the SLR means.
SLR stands for Single Lens Reflex and in the old days (when cameras used actual film and you had to go to a photoshop to get them developed!!) they were the only camera that would show through the view finder what you would actually get on film.
To get more information on SLR cameras go to Wiki! or look at the Camera Advice Centre.
Due to the complexities the cameras were reserved for photo enthusiasts - to take a photo you'd have to manually change the aperture, shutter speed and focus.
So why do people use them? SLRs give better photos! Given the right skill the photos you will get are outstanding.
Now that digital SLR cameras have hit the market these great quality photos are available to mere mortals so you don't have to go on a three year photography course to get a half decent photo!
Hope that helps. Any other questions, fire them over!
