The cross-section (side-view) of the optical components of an SLR shows how the light passes through the lens assembly (1), is reflected into the pentaprism by the reflex mirror (which must be at an exact 45 degree angle) (2) and is projected on the matte focusing screen (5).

  • Sales can be found on many digital cameras on online retailers such as Amazon. To find the camera that best fits your needs determine how often you will be taking pictures. If you take pictures occasionally and are going on vacation the best cameras are slim and have a high megapixel count. Make sure the camera has expandable memory so you can take as many pictures as you want. Look for a camera that good reviews and long battery life.
