What Does DSLR Mean in a Text?

homesitemapsearch dDSLR
DSLR means "Digital Single Lens Reflex."

In photography, the abbreviation DSLR means 'Digital Single Lens Reflex.'

A digital SLR camera is a type of camera that uses a mirror and prism system that displays through the lens exactly what will be captured when the shutter is pressed.

As film SLR cameras are no longer manufactured, the term SLR is now widely used in place of DSLR to refer to digital cameras. Older cameras would probably be referred to as "film SLRs," to clarify that the speaker is talking "old school."
