you may be able to use such a lens if you are lucky, and are prepared to buy an Adapter to fit between lens and camera(not expensive) you can operate with some loss of automatic functions. See wikipedia for more info. See eBay for adapters but be careful to get it the right way round!

Is canon rebel slr or dslr?
Both. Depends on how old the camera is. DSLR is just a digital version of an SLR (single-lens reflex), which are the cameras with removable lenses.
What kind of digital camera should you use for a Minolta SLR lens?
You would have to use a Minolta SLR digital camera with a Minolta lens. However, don't automatically assume an old Minolta lens will work on a digital camera. You need to determine whether the digital camera accepts interchangeable lenses and whether it accepts the specific Minolta SLR lens and mount you have. There is no real generic answer to this question.
Can you use a Miranda 24mm slr lens on a dslr camera and which one?
Possibly, it depends on the kind of mount. Miranda made (or possibly still make?) lenses for various cameras so if it was built for a nikon for example it should fit a modern nikon. I think this is the same for most makes of camera. I think also that sony cameras use the old minolta mount. As for finding out which kind of mount you have, I would take a picture and post it on a photography forum, someone will probably be able to identify it for you or just try it on any dslr you have access to. Remember that if you do fit the lens on a digital camera, you will only be able to use it manually.
Is a DSLR Camera Right for Me?
As DSLR camera prices drop, many consumer electronics shoppers find themselves wondering if they should reconsider their camera choice. A decent entry-level DLSR camera can be had for roughly the same price as a midrange point-and-shoot, leaving consumers confused and looking for answers. What's the difference? Don't I need more megapixels? What pros and cons do I need to consider? Here are some things to consider when evaluating whether to take the leap to DSLR.How DSLR WorksDSLR cameras are meant to emulate the functionality of the old SLR Single Lens Reflex cameras. With SLR cameras, the photographer sees precisely what the lens sees by way of a hinged mirror positioned behind the lens. When the photo is taken, the mirror moves, exposing the film. In digital models the "D" in "DSLR" -- an image sensor replaces the film. Contrast that with a point-and-shoot digital camera, where a monitor approximates what the end product should be. A major advantage of the DSLR versus the point-and-shoot is the DSLR has a far superior image sensor.Image Sensor? What about Megapixels?It's easy to compare based on megapixels. That's why your big box electronics stores love them. More is better and that's it, right? Unfortunately, that's not the case. What's more important than the megapixels is the size and quality of the image sensor. DLSR cameras have larger, better sensors than point-and-shoot models. DSLR image sensors can be 20-30 times the size of those found in point-and-shoot cameras. This means that a DSLR with a lower megapixel rating will take far better photos than a point-and-shoot that boasts a lot of megapixels and a tiny sensor.Pros and ConsNow that you know a little about the difference, you're really wondering if DSLR is for you. The answer is it depends. You should certainly consider a DSLR camera if you:Have a lot of time to learn. DSLRs are complex.Aren't budget-focused, since DSLRs have a lot of pricy accessories that add up.Are a very technically-minded person who loves to learn about new tech.On the other hand, stick with a point-and-shoot if you:Just want to take pictures and don't need amazing quality.Don't need a whole new hobby.Only need a camera for vacations, weekends and such.
Where can I buy d2x camera and how much is it?
Assuming you mean the Nikon D2X SLR camera, it can be bought through Amazon.com starting at $900.00. However, you might want to consider a new camera model. The D2X is over 6 years old, and many new models have been released since then.
Why do compact cameras use such small sensors?
The answer is in your question. They need smaller sensors to fit in smaller and smaller cameras. The full size DSLR camera has sensor as big as the old 35 mm film. Most compact camera have sensors the size of you fingernail or smaller.
How much should I sell my old camera for?
The answer really depends on the make and model of the camera, the condition it is in, and how old it is. Here are the prices I think would be about right: Point and Shoot: $20-$50 Maybe a little more, depending of the camera. Digital SLR: $100-$300 This depends greatly on the model and accessories included. You should probably look at EBay or Craig's List to see what similar used cameras are selling for.
What current digital camera is the equivalent to the old Nikon N2020 SLR camera?
As for the sensor size... its a full frame camera! so it has a great dynamic range. But other features as af system, shutter speeds, e.t.c it cant be compared to any digital camera of the last two decades..I have my father's n2020 with nikkor 1.8 and i sometimes use it just for fun and its still great. Film is always mesmerizing..
Why should you buy an SLR?
If all you want is a convenient camera to carry around that will produce good pictures, you don't need an SLR. A smaller, less expensive camera will serve your purpose just fine. Remember that the skill of the photographer in seeing and composing is what makes a good photo. You cannot buy into good photography, it must be learned.SLRs and DSLRs offer the following advantages, at the cost of higher price, more bulk, and more expensive accessories.* A larger sensor (in DSLRs) that generally gives higher quality prints at larger sizes, and that sometimes produces better results in low light. * The ability to see the image directly through the lens -- in effect, to see exactly what the camera sees. * Along with that, faster shutter response: you are more likely to capture the image you saw when you pressed the shutter release. * Interchangeable lenses, allowing you to pick the optimum lens for a given purpose. This comes at a high price. Some lenses can easily cost more than the camera body. The advantage here is doubtful unless you are an advanced amateur or a professional. One could safely say that a person who needed to ask this question probably doesn't need a DSLR. In 35mm photography, on the other hand, a good SLR is a major step up from point and shoot in both usability and results.This writer's favorite cameras, those he uses the most, are a Pentax K1000 SLR about 25 years old, and a Pentax K10D DSLR. Either does a good job, it only depends if I want negatives or RAW files. However, for just knocking around, I usually haul a Canon PowerShot G7 (current model G10), which is not an SLR. By and large, the images I get with it are as good...and sometimes better...than I get with the K10D and professional lenses.
What is the best way to copy old photographs?
Scanners do a nice job these days. Before that, I used a color copier to do even the black and white photos. Before that, I used the micro lens on my SLR camera to take a 1:1 image of the photo.
Which of these is an old fashioned camera?
