"Brief difference between a DSLR and a Digicam For more detail, see below.
The reflex design scheme is a major difference between a DSLR and an ordinary digital camera (digicam), which typically exposes the sensor constantly to the light projected by the lens, allowing the camera's screen to be used as an electronic viewfinder.
In contrast, the mirror arrangement in a DSLR usually precludes the ability to view the scene on the liquid crystal display (LCD) before the photograph is taken. However, many newer DSLR models feature live preview, allowing the LCD to be used as a viewfinder in the same way as a normal digicam, although with certain limitations and with the optical viewfinder disabled.
In most other respects, a DSLR is similar in principle and operation to a standard (non-SLR) digital camera."
