Question

Explain the difference between SLR cameras’ and point-and-shoot cameras’ viewfinders. Which viewfinder do you think would be easier to use? Why?

Answer 1

SLR cameras' viewfinders allow the user to preview the exact image that will be captured due to its direct optical connection with the lens. Point-and-shoot cameras' viewfinders, on the other hand, provide a digital representation of what the camera sees and are typically constructed from LCD screens. I think point-and-shoot cameras' viewfinders would be easier to use because of their more user-friendly design, as well as their convenience in providing an easy-to-view display of the image being taken.

Answer 2

Answer: A point-and-shoot digital camera estimates the light that will reach the sensor on an LCD screen. A SLR camera is a single lens reflex camera. As an SLR camera has a reflex mirror, it allows you to see through the viewfinder the real image that the film will see.

Step-by-step explanation:

Optical viewfinders show you a true image. Which means that there's no lag; you're simply looking at a scene through a lens. Cameras using electronic viewfinders, on the other hand, have to convert the light into a digital image and then display it via the EVF. And that can take time, which manifests as viewfinder lag.
