CameraView is a specific type of camera that uses a roof pentaprism to display clear image output. It is composed of the various pieces of glass or plastic that work as a cohesive unit. These components assist with catching and bouncing light in such a manner as to produce an image that is sharp and bright. The first is the roof pentaprism, which sits atop of a camera. It is in fact a key element of so many high-end cameras, favored by photographers chasing the best images they can capture.

The Advantages of Roof Pentaprisms Over Traditional Prisms

And the closed best prism is also known as a Achromatic lens, and one of the main reasons roof pentaprisms are better than normal prisms is they lead to smaller cameras. Regular prisms have a larger size and occupy more space within the camera. This often adds weight and bulk to the camera, making them less mobile. Conversely, however, roof pentaprisms are somewhat more compact and compact by design that are simply fitted on top of the camera with minimum weight added. This is good news for shutterbugs who want to bring their gear along while traveling or otherwise out and about.

Roof pentaprisms are also stronger than typical prisms; this is another reason to have a preference for roof pentaprisms. These are usually constructed using hard materials such as glass or plastic. That means they are too tough, so they can use every day without damage. In contrast, the materials used to create standard prisms are softer (such as most any kind of metal) that may scratch or bend from routine use. If you are a photographer who depends on your equipment working in various environments, this durability is essential.
