Many of the advantages of single-lens reflex cameras come from viewing and focusing the image through the various lens. Most other types of cameras don't have this feature; targets are seen through a viewfinder that is nearer to the lens, making the photo-taker's view different from what the lens sees. Single-lens reflex cameras provide photographers with pinpoint precision; they provide a viewing image that will be exposed onto the negative exactly as it is seen through the lens. There is no parallax error, and exact focus can be confirmed by the eye of the photographer — especially in macro photography and when photographing using long focus lenses. The depth of field may be seen by stopping down to the attached lens aperture, which is possible on most single-lens reflex cameras except on the least expensive and lesser quality models. Because of the slr camera's versatility, most makers have a vast range of lenses and accessories on the market for them.

Single-lens reflex (SLR) are cameras that typically use a semi-automatic moving mirror system (hence the name "reflex", from the mirror's reflection) that allows the photographer to see exactly what's in the viewfinder and what will be captured by the film or digital camera, as opposed to cameras that are NOT slr capible, where the view through the viewfinder would show you something totally different than what would be captured on the film.

Single-lens reflex is still popular in high-end and professional cams because they are system cams with interchangeable parts, allowing customization. They also have far less shutter lag, allowing photographs to be timed more precisely. Also the pixel resolution, contrast ratio, refresh rate, and color gamut of an LCD preview screen cannot compete with the clarity and shadow detail of a direct-viewed optical single-lens reflex viewfinder.

Other features you'll find on many single-lens reflex cams include through-the-lens (TTL) metering and state-of-the-art flash control referred to as 'dedicated electronic flash'. In a dedicated system, once the dedicated electronic flash is inserted into the camera's hot shoe and turned on, there is, at that point, communication between the camera and the flash unit. The camera's synchronization speed is set, as is the aperture. Many camera models on the market today actually measure the light that reflects off of the film plane, controls the flash duration of the electronic flash. Some flash units have a flash duration range of 1/1000 of a second to 1/50,000 of a second), and then terminate exposure when the camera has received enough light for the exposure.(some flash units have a flash duration range of 1/1000 of a second to 1/50,000 of a second), and then terminate exposure when the camera has received enough light for the exposure.
