Best Answer

SLRs have four major advantages over other cameras:

1. They allow viewing the image through the lens, the same as it will look on film or on the sensor.

2. They use interchangeable lenses, which increases their versatility. Unfortunately, it also makes for more expensive lenses.

3. Digital SLRs have larger sensors, which allows better images for reasons we won't go into here.

4. Digital SLRs have much faster shutter response times than non-SLR cameras, especially when pre-focused.

Along with the above, they are usually built to higher standards and tend to last longer.

Why is an SLR camera better than the automatic?

SLR or single lens reflex refers to a particular type of camera in which the image and the viewfinder are both taken from one lens. effectively WYSIWYG. auto focus auto exposure modes have been available in SLR cameras for a very long time thus making them "automatic." As a side note an SLR need not have exchangeable lenses to be an SLR nor are all cameras with exchangeable lenses SLR's. The primary advantage of SLR's is the fact that the image in the viewfinder is pretty much the image that you get when you release the shutter.
