Järjestelmäkameroina

Järjestelmäkameroina is a Finnish term that translates to "as system cameras" or "as interchangeable-lens cameras" in English. This classification refers to cameras that utilize a system of interchangeable lenses, allowing photographers to adapt their equipment to various shooting scenarios. Unlike compact cameras, which have fixed lenses, system cameras offer greater flexibility and creative control.

The defining characteristic of a system camera is its interchangeable lens mount. This allows users to attach different lenses, such as wide-angle, telephoto, macro, or prime lenses, to suit the subject matter and desired perspective. This modularity is a significant advantage for professional photographers and serious hobbyists who require specialized optics for specific types of photography.

System cameras can be broadly categorized into two main types: digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) cameras and mirrorless cameras. DSLRs use a mirror and prism system to direct light from the lens to the optical viewfinder, while mirrorless cameras omit this mechanism, using an electronic viewfinder or the rear LCD screen instead. Both types offer the core functionality of interchangeable lenses and a larger sensor size compared to most compact cameras, leading to superior image quality and low-light performance. The choice between DSLR and mirrorless often depends on factors like size, weight, autofocus speed, and specific feature sets.
