I suppose I am a toned-down Nerd and (unfortunately) not a Hometown Hero, and (thankfully) not a Suburban Parent - The suburbs are ecological voids!

If I understand correctly (and I may not!) most good cameras have had mirror that bends the light up to the viewfinder. As the picture is taken, that camera flips out of the way and the light goes to the film. This was an improvement over older cameras where looking through the viewfinder gave a slightly different view than the film would have. Now with electric cameras it is possible to just capture the picture the viewfinder gets, so itā€™s mirrorless. Many digital cameras, like mine, still have mirrors.

You have it right, except the mirror flips out of the wayā€¦ clunk! Sound effects that do not shut off! The older cameras with parallax error, the ā€œmatch to focusā€ of twin lens camerasā€¦
It make me feel old, knowing so many have to Google things like that! Makes me wish they would have to use manual settings and filmā€¦ and understanding having to wait to develop film and printsā€¦( waxing nostalgia over the aroma of chemicalsā€¦)

Thanks for the edit, @Thunderhead ā€“ I fixed it. I was very slow to change from film camera to digital, but I donā€™t feel nostalgic for film ā€“ especially the delay and expense.

Me, too. My theme song was ā€œSome Day My Prints Will Comeā€ā€¦in school we were using several types of cameras and sizes of film. It took knowledge and skill to make beautiful photos that are now achieved with point and shoot skill.
I was aiming for ā€œlab workā€, and the world shifted.

I DO enjoy the digital cameras. I am working my way out of disability to be able to step up from iPhone-ography.
