Each has its advantages and disadvantages compared to the other. The SLR fires a more powerful cartridge. In some cases (such as Northern Ireland) it was found to be too powerful. The SA80s cartridge has been found to be underpowered in some instances.
The SLR was a variant of the FAL - an extremely reliable rifle. Early SA80s had a lot of teething troubles, to the point where the British government considered replacing them outright with M16s and M4s (they probably would've gone with the Diemaco/Colt Canada C7 and C8s). This was rectified to some extent in 1997 when Heckler & Koch revamped the rifle, creating the L85A2, which has a better service record than the original.
The SA80 has a larger basic combat load for ammo - when you consider that most ammo expended in a firefight is used for suppression, the advantage is clear.
The SLR has longer range, but most firefights occur within a 300 meter range. The L85/SA80 is shorter, making it advantageous in tight spots. Firer ergonomics were better with the SLR vs. the awkwardly placed selector switch on the L85/SA80.

Why is an SLR camera better than the automatic?
SLR or single lens reflex refers to a particular type of camera in which the image and the viewfinder are both taken from one lens. effectively WYSIWYG. auto focus auto exposure modes have been available in SLR cameras for a very long time thus making them "automatic." As a side note an SLR need not have exchangeable lenses to be an SLR nor are all cameras with exchangeable lenses SLR's. The primary advantage of SLR's is the fact that the image in the viewfinder is pretty much the image that you get when you release the shutter.
