Image Sensor - Pixels are larger
and capture more light and detail.
Low Light - With overall features like
sensor size, megapixel count, color
science etc., low light performance is
leagues ahead of a webcam. This is
often referred to as the ISO range.
Lenses - DSLR lenses can be
changed. Increasing zoom, better low
light imaging, shallow depth of eld,
and background blur (bokeh effect) are
all achievable with different lenses.
Connectivity - DSLR cameras feature
many different connectivity options: USB,
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for wireless image
sharing, HDMI for video streaming, and
SD Card recording for editing.
Megapixels - A high megapixel
(image resolution) count increases
ne detail and sharpness.
Color Science - Camera
manufacturers invest heavily in their
color science. This is how the sensor
and ISP (Image signal processor)
process and interpret colors.
Dynamic Range - Dynamic range is
the difference between the brightest
and darkest parts of the image a
camera can capture. The higher the
dynamic range, the more lifelike colors
will appear without crushing shadows
or clipping highlights.
Manual control - Every element of
the image is tunable. Exposure, ISO,
focus, etc.
DLSR cameras offer many benets over traditional webcams. These are some of the
advantages of using a high quality camera.
