What are the differences between a DSLR and a SLR digital camera?
SLR cameras allow expert photographers to change lenses and choose the right lens for the given shooting situation. DSLR refers to SLR cameras that take digital photos and the few cameras left on the market still using film are simply called SLR cameras.
