Yes, SLR's (Single Lens Reflex) cameras have the ability to change lenses from the body to adapt to different photo situations. The benefit is that all functions relating to the photo are functions of the lens. You control the aperture (the amount of light passing through the lens), focus, and zoom from the lens, the only function native to the camera is shutter speed. On automatic SLR's the camera body does all of the light calculations and transmits the information to the lens for you.

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.

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.


Is the leica v-lux-1 10 megapixel digital camera a single lens reflex slr camera?

== == No, it's a compact ("bridge") camera that looks much like an SLR. Here are the lens specs: LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT • 35 - 420 mm equiv. (12x zoom) • F2.8 - F3.7 (minimum aperture F11) • 14 elements in 10 groups (3 aspherical, 1 ED lens) • Non-extending / internal zoom • Mechanical linked zoom ring • Focus-by-wire focus ring source : http://www.dpreview.com/news/0609/06091409leicavlux1.asp say that the Viewfinder is 0.44" EVF (electronic viewfinder) with 230,000 pixels .... i.e. a small lcd type display is placed at the viewfinder Addendum: A single lens reflex camera has a mirror in a pentaprism that flips upwards, allowing light to enter through a shutter, and into a light-sensitive material such as silver halide film, or electronic charge-coupled device. In any slr or dslr, you can view the scene without turning on the camera. But with a point-and-shoot like the Leica V-Lux 1, it has to be on.

What is the difference between digital SLR cameras and bridge cameras?

A Digital SLR (D-SLR) has a removable lens and larger image sensor. That means that regardless of megapixel a D-SLR will take a better picture because the photo does not lose as much picture quality as it would in a Bridge or Point and Shoot camera. A D-SLR is faster and the time between taking photos is shorter. A Bridge camera will offer more zoom but less picture quality. A D-SLR can be upgraded with a different lens however to gain more zoom.
