Q. What is the difference between DSLR?
The only difference between this old SLR (single lens reflex) design and today’s DSLRs is that the film has been replaced by a digital sensor. DSLRs like the Nikon D500 have a mirror inside the body to reflect the image up into an optical viewfinder. Mirrorless cameras have no such mirror.
