The principals are the same. If you use an old lens on a new body or vice versa you will lose the autofocus function. Also many digital cameras have smaller sensors (known as cropped). So a 50mm lens on your SLR will be about a 78mm on your DSLR because the image is being projected onto a smaller space. This may be a benefit if you use long lenses for sport / wildlife but not if you generally use fish eye! You can now buy full frame DSLRs that are equivalent to 35mm so the lens would not alter. Also lenses are constantly evolving with better glass to prevent chromic abberation, etc and with built in image stabilisation, etc.

My understanding is that an SD card is an SD card, no matter what the use is. The difference is what data is stored on it. (eg. Photos or music)

Mostly trigger voltage is different. Older film flashes used higher voltages, which if used with newer digital cameras can fry the sensitive circuitry in it. A good practice to follow would be to buy flashes made by the manufacturer of your camera, for your camera. Always remember to check the compatibility of your flash with your camera model.
What is the difference between a video camera and a digital still camera?
Conventional/traditional photography is the use of film to capture images in a camera. The film then must be developed, resulting in negatives (negative images) of the images. These negatives are then enlarged using special equipment and paper and then printed and developed chemicals. Digital cameras capture images using sensors on a memory card, which are then transferred to a computer for printing on specialized printers. The benefits of traditional darkroom photography is the amazing quality of the photographs. Only in recent years has digital photography even began to compare to the quality of traditional film, but it is increasing in both quality and popularity. In the near future it is projected to be equal to and even surpass traditional photography. The benefits of digital photography are the ease of use and convenience. Images can be viewed and deleted instantly, instead of shooting through multiple rolls without knowing if you have a successful image.

Can a film camera can convert to digital camera?
No. You cannot economically convert a film camera to a digital camera. The digital system is very different and fitting it to an existing film camera is more expensive than buying a new digital camera. Some of the more expensive professional cameras can change between film and digital backs replacing the film transport with digital technology. The replacement backing includes all the electronics and controls typical of a digital camera of that caliber.
