The point and shoot cameras differ from the SLR because the SLR has a semiautomatic mirror whereas the point and shoot camera does not. JPEG is a default file format that is common with many cameras on the market today. This file format compresses the image to decrease the size of the image.
Q. What is the difference between a point and shoot and SLR camera?
DSLR cameras allow you to manually control certain aspects of a shot, while most point-and-shoot cameras work best when shooting in automatic mode. A point-and-shoot camera is sometimes called a fixed-lens camera because it cannot swap lenses. The lenses are built directly into the camera body.

Q. What is the difference between Powershot and DSLR?
The Powershot will have a fixed lens that cannot be changed. The Powershots use smaller sensors (the largest is the 4/3″-format in the G1X series, more typically a 1″ in the high-end and 1/2.3″ format in the low end), while the dSLRs use APS-C or full-frame sensors.
Q. Do cameras use mirrors?
Why Cameras Have Mirrors The mirror is used to allow the photographer to see the image through the viewfinder. A system of mirrors reflects the subject to the eye via the viewfinder. The film is exposed to the light and the image is created. Film would later be replaced by a sensor on DSLR cameras.

Q. Is 24 megapixels good for a camera?
We’ve had a long run with 24MP as a standard acceptable resolution for many photographic needs — it has been a sweet spot of cost and performance. It’s a great fit for full-page and double-page magazine reproduction. Fine art prints look as good, and usually better than, the 35mm and medium format film it replaced.
Q. Is 8MP camera good enough?
Yes, an 8MP camera can be good enough for taking pictures with a smartphone. That’s because, in the case of megapixels, more is not always better. There are several other factors at play that determine the picture quality of a smartphone camera than just packing it with a ton of megapixels.
