Calvin, there is a question I want to ask a long time ago. On your camera, don't you have that little screen on the back to look at what you are just shooting? And if so, why are you always looking through the little window? :O)
Calvin: That's some wide angle you've got there! ;-)
Clo: Digital SLRs can't show the picture on the screen. Like your old Canon film camera (appareil argentique en francais?), there's a mirror inside between the lens and the viewfinder (the "little window"). The mirror flips up when you take a picture, exposing the film or sensor. After you take the picture, you can look at it on the screen.
Sometimes I still use the viewfinder, even on my camera that has a screen on the back. Your hands are steadier up by your face, so you can take a sharper picture.
Thanks everybody for those explanation. I really was wondering about that for a while, and I thought, in all my candid innocence, that maybe Calvin was just hiding behind his camera.
And thanks Gary to help me enlarge my poor vocabulary, though I think that "little window" is cute... ;O)
And in french, the term "argentique" is used now, at least for the paper impression. I don't know for the camera. Before, we were just calling them "reflex".
And Paul, I know my Panasonic is an amateur camera, but I heard somebody recently saying that it's not the camera that makes the photographer! ;O)
Don't worry Paul, I didn't take it too personnaly. :O)
I've heard of the shoebox before but never tried it myself. Did you really do that? And what did you use to make the photo, just sensitive paper? Or kind of a big negative?

Also, I find looking through the view finder helps me hold the camera more steadily. :^)

Yep Clo, what Paul said exactly. :)
