Question 1: What is the difference between a micro-single camera and a single-cell camera? Which one is better? Single battery: It has a fixed translucent reflector and uses an electronic viewfinder

Representative model: Sony SLT-A55/SLT-A33

Advantages: Fast continuous shooting speed, video recording can focus automatically.

Disadvantages: Compared with SLR, it consumes more power.

Micro-Single: There is no reflector, the appearance is more similar to the traditional small DC, but the lens can be changed

Representative models: Sony NEX-5, Olympus E-PL1

p>

Advantages: Small size, light weight, easy to carry

Disadvantages: Slow focusing; the small body appears top-heavy when accommodating a larger telephoto lens

Question 2: What is the difference between DSLR, mirrorless camera and single camera? Which one is more worth buying and what are the pros and cons of each? Is a single battery more powerful than a mirrorless one? First, let’s explain one by one what the abbreviations you mentioned mean.

Card - As the name suggests, it is about the same size as a card (portable camera).

This concept simply points out the size. In fact, if we understand it literally, the so-called "micro-single camera" can also be regarded as a type of card machine. In addition, some cameras that cannot change the lens, such as those that look like a SLR, are usually called "telephoto cameras". According to this concept, they are not card cameras.

Among the English abbreviations, the word DC (Digital Camera - digital camera) should be closer to it. The DC we usually talk about also refers to card machines.

SLR – Abbreviation for single-lens reflex camera (camera).

Literally understood, SLR actually refers to a camera with a single lens (replaceable) and a reflector. It should not involve whether it is a digital camera. Because I have never experienced the film era, I don’t know whether the cameras that used film, single lenses, and mirrors at that time were also called SLRs.

In the English abbreviation, the single word corresponds to the word SLR (Single Lens Reflex). If it were called a digital SLR, it would be a DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex).

In addition, there is a concept called Twin Lens Reflex that corresponds to the SLR. If you are interested, you can go to *** to have a look.

I think it’s better to talk about the two concepts of micro-single camera and single-cell camera together, because there are too many misunderstandings.

Let’s talk about single electronic viewfinder cameras first.

This concept is also easy to understand, a camera with a single lens (interchangeable) and an electronic viewfinder. The biggest difference between it and a SLR is that a single camera uses an electronic viewfinder, while a SLR uses an optical viewfinder.

Speaking of which, I have to mention Sony's products. For example, Sony's A77 camera has a mirror that is different from other SLRs. Sony uses a translucent reflector and an EVF LCD viewfinder. So you can call it a SLR camera because it has a mirror; you can also call it a single-lens camera because it has an electronic viewfinder.

Of course, the cameras now called "single electronic" cameras are generally mirrorless cameras like card cameras. But we still need to know what the correct definition of so-called single electricity is.

Let’s talk about mirrorless cameras again - it is actually an extension of the single-cell camera. It is Sony’s name for its “mono-cell” digital cameras, which can be understood as miniature, single-cell cameras. To put it simply, mirrorless is actually the name of Sony’s NEX series of digital cameras. Therefore, others say that mirrorless cameras are equal to single-lens cameras, which is actually correct, but it should be noted that they specifically refer to Sony's single-lens, mirrorless, and electronic viewfinder products.

Interestingly, there is actually no corresponding abbreviation for single power in English.

The English abbreviations related to single cameras are as follows:

MSC - Mirrorless System Camera

CSC - pact System Camera

DSLM - Digital Single Lens Mirrorless

DILS - Digital Interchangeable-Lens System camera

EVIL - Electronic Viewfinder with Interchangeable Lens

Now it seems that it means the same as single lens The closest thing is probably EVIL - Electronic Viewfinder with Interchangeable Lens - interchangeable lens electronic viewfinder (camera).

After reading all the abbreviations, you may have a clearer idea of ??their advantages and disadvantages.

Since the card machine focuses on size, that is, portability, and is aimed at the consumer market, its cost must be controlled at a relatively low level. Therefore, its photosensitive elements are generally relatively small. Optical performance is also limited since the lens cannot be replaced.

The advantages and disadvantages of SLR cameras are opposite to those of card cameras. SLR users are generally people who have certain requirements for photography. For better optical performance, they can tolerate the huge size and heavy weight of the SLR. Many people even think that the heavier their machine is, the better. Many people are also willing to fill their entire mountaineering bag with photography equipment just for... >>

Question 3: Single camera, SLR, What are the differences between mirrorless cameras and which one is best? They are all a type of camera, collectively called mirrorless cameras.

SLR, single lens reflex camera.

Both types of cameras have their own advantages. No one is better or worse.

Due to the long production time of SLRs, there are many types of lenses to choose from, but the biggest problem of SLRs is that they are large and inconvenient to carry, especially for travel photography. Sometimes SLRs may be a burden when traveling.

Mirror cameras are characterized by portability and small size. Convenient for travel photography.

Both have their own markets and user groups.

Question 4: ...What are the differences between SLR, mirrorless, and single-lens cameras? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each? SLR is a single-lens reflex camera, and its biggest feature is the reflector used for framing. , it can frame the view without power supply, and it can frame the view directly through the lens. The image you see and the shooting result are basically the same. However, the viewing range of entry-level machines is generally only about 95%, so a circle around it will be cropped. High-end machines have a 100% field of view, and the image size they see is exactly the same as the shooting result.

Since SLR viewfinding does not require power, the camera only activates the photosensitive element and processing chip when the shutter is pressed. Therefore, the SLR body is very power-saving. One battery can take about 800 to 1,000 photos. For photos, it can handle normal-intensity shooting for more than a day. Since SONY has applied for a patent for this classification, it named its own semi-permeable membrane body as "Single Electric" to distinguish it from its own SLRs. In fact, the semi-permeable film technology is very controversial. It weakens the light entering the photosensitive element and reflects the image in the viewfinder window back to the semi-permeable film. Therefore, other manufacturers except SONY do not use it. "Single camera" can be seen as a product between SLR and mirrorless cameras.

Mirrorless = micro + single lens viewing and shooting + no mirror. The name of the mirrorless camera is actually not accurate. The first OLYMPUS product to launch a mirrorless camera, the EP1, was big and heavy, not inferior to the SLR at all. However, subsequent models have gradually shrunk in size, and with the participation of Panasonic, for The body of the M4/3 frame (M4/3=50% of the APS-C frame, APS-C=50% of the full frame, so M4/3=25% of the full frame area) has been expanded and enriched, making it truly It has the concept of "micro".

Today’s mirrorless cameras have the same size as card cameras and image quality that far exceeds that of card cameras, but there is still a gap between the image quality of full-frame or APS-C cameras.

Originally, mirrorless cameras and SLR cameras are market segments that meet consumers with different needs and there is no overlapping competition. Mirrorless cameras are suitable for markets with small size, low price and poor performance, while SLR cameras are suitable for professional, large-volume and high-performance markets. It was originally an ideal market division.

However, SONY's NEX suddenly appeared. The NEX series incorporates the APS-C format sensor into a body that is smaller than the OLYMPUS EP1, and has revolutionized the mirrorless camera market. Starting from SONY NEX, mirrorless cameras are slightly slower to focus and consume more power. In addition to being larger, it has the same image quality as an ordinary SLR. Then SONY launched the full-frame mirrorless camera SONY A7 (the latest model is SONY A7 RII). The image quality of this camera is not inferior to the top SLRs, but the size is much smaller. It can be said to represent the direction of future camera development. Now even Hasselblad has launched a medium format mirrorless X1D camera.

Question 5: What are the differences between SLR, SLR, and mirrorless cameras? How to choose for entry-level amateur use? Generally speaking, you can understand the difference between SLR, single-point camera, and mirrorless camera as the difference between notebook, netbook, and tablet among computers.

SLR has the most powerful functions, but it is relatively large in size and weight, and many of its functions are relatively professional and difficult for ordinary users to control. The single point is to simplify the structure on the basis of SLR, thereby reducing weight and cost. And it has to be considered more for ordinary consumers, which is a major trend in the future development of cameras; while mirrorless cameras retain the characteristics of SLRs with interchangeable lenses, which can be understood as card cameras + interchangeable lenses, but due to current technical limitations, the image quality It’s still not comparable to a single-point SLR, or even inferior to a high-end card camera.

How to find out depends on your purpose and budget. Digital things are worth every penny.

Question 6: What is the difference between a mirrorless camera and a single-lens camera? First of all, the volume of the single-lens camera is larger than that of the mirrorless single-lens camera, and the weight is relatively heavier; secondly, the single-lens camera has two viewfinding methods, but they are both electronic viewfinders instead of optical viewfinders. The mirrorless single-lens camera only has one constant viewfinder; thirdly, the internal structure is also different. Similarly, a single-lens camera uses a fixed transparent reflector and focuses faster than a mirrorless camera. Finally, a single-lens camera is suitable for men, while a mirrorless camera is suitable for women (generally speaking). The single-lens cameras include Sony A55, and the mirrorless cameras include Sony, Panasonic and Olympus.

Question 7: What is the difference between a mirrorless camera and a single-lens camera? Which one is better? The main difference is whether there is a semi-permeable film between the bayonet and the photosensitive element.

The main function of this semi-permeable film is to provide a focusing capability similar to that of a SLR, but it reduces the light transmission by 0.3EV, which has a weak impact on the image quality.

Therefore, the focusing ability of a single-lens camera is strong, while the image quality of a mirrorless camera is a little better when using the same photosensitive element.

In addition, there are some non-essential differences, such as:

Mirrorless cameras are more portable, while single-lens cameras are about the same size as SLR cameras.

Currently, single-lens cameras have full-frame bodies, but mirrorless cameras do not.

Since the single camera uses the SLR body mount, this mount has more lens options, while the mirrorless mount has less room for lens selection. However, due to the short flange distance, Various lenses can be adapted, but they may not be able to focus automatically.

Question 8: What is the difference between a single battery and a mirrorless one? A SLR camera is a viewfinder camera that only uses a lens to let in light, and the light is refracted through a reflector behind the lens into a pentaprism, and then the light comes out from the pentaprism through the eyepiece and is seen by people. A camera with interchangeable lenses is a mirrorless camera, which is just called a different name. It is a camera with interchangeable lenses that eliminates the optical viewfinder and eyepiece on the basis of a SLR, and can only use the screen to view the view.

Question 9: What is the difference between a single-lens camera and a mirrorless camera? Hello! In fact, mirrorless cameras and single-lens cameras are the same thing. Sony uses the term "mirrorless camera" for its compact digital cameras with interchangeable lenses. Sony positions its "mirrorless" camera as a cross-border product between a digital SLR camera and a card camera. Its most important structural feature is that it has no reflector or prism. "Micro-Single" is a trademark of Sony Corporation.

"Micro-single" is a new word. This word was created by Sony specifically for the Chinese market. Micro-single has been given two meanings: micro and compact, and image quality corresponding to a SLR. In other words, this word means that this kind of camera has a "small size" and "SLR-like image quality." In June 2010, Sony launched its first "mirrorless" camera - NEX-5C.

Before Sony launched a "mirror-less" camera, consumer electronics giants such as Olympus, Panasonic, and Samsung had already launched mirrorless products that used electronic viewfinders and could replace lenses like a SLR. It's called a "single electric camera".

Question 10: Is it better to buy an entry-level camera, a SLR or a single-lens camera? There is a difference between a mirrorless camera and a single-lens camera. First, mirrorless camera = single-lens electronic screen imaging camera.

From a practical perspective The answer to the original poster using the angle is as follows:

For the same price, it depends on the price and shooting method

In terms of the body, there is actually not much difference (provided that the CMOS size is similar) < /p>

80% of the imaging effect of SLR depends on the lens. In fact, the same is true for mirrorless cameras~~ However, SLR lenses are more diverse and mirrorless lenses are simpler.

More experienced photography enthusiasts will buy SLRs individually. If you have a lens but buy a mirrorless camera, it is a kit~~

For example, if you compare the Sony NEX-5 series kit which costs about 5000 and the Canon 650D kit

If you use automatic or semi-automatic gears In fact, it’s almost impossible to tell which one is better in imaging.

But if you use manual settings to set parameters, 650D can take creative shots, but mirrorless cameras can’t~~

So at the price of 5,000, if you don’t use creative shots, For example, there is not much difference between SLRs such as B-door light painting and mirrorless cameras (if both use automatic)

After all, many parameters of mirrorless cameras cannot be modified unlike SLR cameras.

7000~8000 In terms of price

The mirrorless camera is the Sony NEX-7 series and is still a kit camera

But this budget is enough for the SLR to be equipped with a constant aperture lens from a subsidiary factory, such as the Tamron 17-50

At this time, for example, if the combination of 60D + Tamron 17-50 competes with the Sony nex-7 series

Using manual mode is undoubtedly the winner of the SLR. The functions of the mid-range SLR are not the features of entry-level SLR and micro There are some that can be used alone~~

If you use the automatic mode, the 60D combination will also be better, not to mention that the mirrorless camera still cannot take creative pictures~~

Overall, the higher the price The gap between budget SLRs and mirrorless SLRs is wider

There are also mirrorless SLRs above 1W, but 1W SLRs are full frame, so the gap is even bigger

Also, let’s talk about mirrorless SLRs The biggest difference from a SLR

A mirrorless camera uses an electronic screen to image. SLR can use a viewfinder + electronic screen

Don’t think it’s just a different viewfinder

In fact, there is a big difference. If you use the viewfinder, the scene inside is what you see when the light enters the lens and is reflected by the reflector.

If you use the display, there is a delay~~ What you see is actually It has already happened in the real environment. If you press the shutter at this time, if the object is moving, you will find that it is different from what you see. This is very important
