35 mm SLR cameras What characterics of a 35 mm SLR camera makes it different from the rest of the 35 mm family of cameras? And yes, this is a question on the Ritz Job Application form.

There are several characteristics to be observed of a 35mm SLR (Single Lens Reflex) camera, more notably the fact that when you look through the viewfinder, you are looking through the lens itself. What you see when looking through the viewfinder/lens is what will be recorded on film. This is a significant advantage over point-and-shoot-style 35mm cameras, where you don't actually look through the lens itself, and you may be framing more than you actually see, i.e. an overhanging branch that didn't show up in the viewfinder might show up on your film. The ability to frame precisely what will be recorded on film is a must if you pursue critical photography. Another advantage of SLRs is the wide range of interchangeable lenses that is available, such as wide-angle and telephoto lenses.
