What is a DSLR camera?

DSLR stands for “digital single-lens reflex”. It is a bit more advanced than a simple point-and-click camera, and has the following identifiable features:

It resembles a 35mm camera.
The ISO, aperture and shutter speed can be put into full manual mode and controlled simultaneously (check your manual).
A DSLR has interchangeable lenses which allows for a greater variety of results.
