Best Answer

A digital single-lens reflex camera (digital SLR or DSLR) is a digital camera that uses an automatic mirror system and pentaprism or pentamirror to direct light from the lens through the viewfinder eyepiece. ---- Cheep! Fixed lens probably means fixed focal length. The lens (camera) cannot change focus. The manufacturer picks a compromise focus position that often gives somewhat focused pictures between maybe 7 feet and infinity. It's also possible that it is referring to a fixed aperture. That is, it doesn't have a way to change the size of the opening behind the lens to control how much light gets in. Cheep cameras often don't have either of these features.
