The prevalence of the term 'DSLR' – combined with a shocking lack of product understanding among retailers looking to get devices out for type holidays – has the potential to lead to some serious disappointment. I've seen it with my own eyes as I look for the best camera deals this Black Friday, so I thought I'd pass on what I've learned.
If it looks like a DSLR, and quacks like a DSLR... er, wait. That's not it. But some of the cameras actually listed by retailers as DSLRs are as close to being reflex cameras as a rubber duck is to a bird sitting on a pond before migrating to warmer climes.
