Digital Single
Lens Reflex camera -- a
digital camera that uses mirrors and a pentaprisim (or pentamirror) so that the optical viewfinder looks out through the camera
lens. DSLRs are characterized by having interchangeable lenses and generally more professional features than point-and-shoot cameras, such as better
autofocus, less noisy images in low light, and faster frame rates.
