Cameras

These models accept interchangeable lenses, like SLRs, but they're smaller and lighter. They don't have an SLR through-the-lens viewfinder.

SLRs are interchangeable-lens cameras. Most are compatible with a number of lenses. With the most features, they're also the biggest and heaviest.

Like basic point-and-shoots, they have nondetachable lenses, but also have manual controls and other advanced features. They’re also more expensive than basic point-and-shoots.
