Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR)

Digital Single Lens Reflex. I guess you know that it is a type of camera.

Yes, via a lens adapter available from aftermarket producers. All Canon FD lens to Canon EOS lens mount adapters will contain an optical element to provide correct focus at infinity. This is because the Canon FD lens flange focus distance (distance from the focus plane to lens mount) is shorter then the Canon EOS lens.

My opinion is the digital slr camera because you won't have to pay soo much money buying new film, where as the digital camera, you jut have to upload your pictures from the memory card onto your computer, and you can just reuse it again and again!

There are two types of bracketing: auto exposure bracketing and white balance bracketing.

Auto exposure bracketing makes the camera take three (or more if you shoot Nikon) images in rapid succession. Each of the images will capture a different exposure. The first shot will be neutral exposure, the next shot will be a lower exposure (darker) and the last picture will be brighter. This helps if you're in a situation where you're not sure what the correct exposure would be. Also, it is used in HDR imagery.

White balance bracketing does the same thing except you are bracketing the white balance with each shot. This is useless if you shoot in RAW because you can simply change this afterword.

Well, There are some producers of digital camera lenses in the world. But the most popular are: Tamron, Sigma, Canon, Nikkor (Nikon lenses), Pentax and Kenko.

Put it in a large bag of rice for four days and take the battery out of the camera (but the battery goes in the rice as well). DO NOT TURN IT ON or try to use a blow dryer. I know it seems a little weird, but it totally works. It worked for me. The rice soaks up the moisture.

100-1000 USD depending on specifics

No, they do not. The Minolta XD-7, up to the X-700 takes the Minolta MD-type lenses. There are no digital slr cameras that will take an MD-mount lens. Only a camera hacker would be able to make an adapter out of spare parts in order to fit a specific dslr, and even then, the labor costs alone would be tremendous.

You can either put an adapter on the Hasselblad H-series bodies to accept the Hasselblad CF lenses, or put a digital back on the Hasselblad C-series body.

Get the Panasonic fz50. it is basically the same camera as the vlux1, and is much less expensive. the only diferences are the name brand stamped on, and the inboard software. The lens on both cameras is a Leica 35mm-420mm. You won't find a more wide-reaching lens than that. Certainly not with a Canon setup.

yes for both digital compacts and slrs - i use both methods of viewing depending on circumstances - using the lcd is great for shots that are at weird angles or if you need to hold the camera very high or low - the viewfinder i find is best for fast action shots that need to be panned or tracked - since i started with old style film cameras i tend to use the view finder more but those who start with a digital tend to use the lcd screen more

The focal length is an important consideration because all DSLRs do not have the same size image sensor. For a camera with a full frame sensor, a given focal length will provide a magnification, angle of view and depth of field similar to a 35mm film SLR. For cameras with smaller sensors, the magnification is increased by a factor of from 1.3 to 1.6. The angle is more narrow and the depth is likely also affected. This is more bang for the buck if magnification is desirable, but when you need a wide angle, such as a 24 or 35 mm lens, the size factor works against you. So you will get an angle of view more like you would see with a full frame sensor at 35mm x 1.6 or 56mm (not very wide). Fortunately manufacturers have produced a new series of lenses to give an extra wide angle of view for these bodies and sensors.

Care must be taken if you plan to use the lens on more than one camera, as some DSLR lenses extend deeper into the body (closer to the path of the mirror) and may not work on all cameras. These will often have some marking to indicate that they are for digital only, which signifies that the dimensions are unique.

A good lens for any SLR camera should be sharp and have a useful range of F-stops or apertures. Sharpness is part glass quality, lens shape (Spherical vs aspherical) and number of elements and type of coatings used. Smaller f-stop numbers (or large apertures) give faster shots in lower light and help to blur the background. While the larger number (smallest aperture) determines the maximum depth under any conditions. The widest f-stop will also dictate whether your lens will still auto focus with a tele-extender. So check compatibility.

These factors all have to be balanced against the cost and proportions of the lens. A heavy lens may require that a tripod is mounted at the lens instead of the camera. They can be cumbersome and obvious, making it hard to get candid shots. Lenses for full frame bodies tend to be more in the bulky category, but can be worth it.

Some 'digital' lenses have an extra coating designed to cut ghost due to the refective nature of the image sensor. There are differing opinions as to whether of not this is necessary. But there do not seem to be disadvantages.

Auto focus speed is determined by the type of motor and gears. This also affects cost. The type of mechanism can affect how long your batteries last or whether you have enough battery power for the lens to work as intended. You need fast focus for action shots. Some lenses have image stabilization. Not all stabilization designs are equal and sometimes that feature as already in the body.

The filter size is another factor. Does the lens take a filter which is expensive and hard to locate, or is it common and maybe the same size used with your other lenses?

Check the location of the manual focus and zoom controls. Are they easy to use? Does the price include a sturdy case and a lens hood?

Kind of wordy I know, but there is much to consider.

In Europe they are also called the 400D. I don't Know about Australia, but there is a big difference in price. If memory serves me well the Firmware is different and of Course the Rebel Badge.

It is a DSLR. Right short answer. More exactly, Canon and Nikon are the best professional camera brands.

Can you reinstall my printer for me? I have moved, changed computers, & lost my CD to reinstall it myself. I was told that if I wrote you, you could do that for me. I have the Canon BJC 2100 series. I appreciate any & all help you can/will give me. PJ Crowder - E-Mail Address: cvanh51@sbcglobal.net

SLR stands for single lens reflex. This is the type of camera in which the image goes into the lens and is reflected by a mirror into your eye at the viewfinder. You therefore see exactly what the lens is seeing. This type of camera also usually allows you to remove the lens and replace it with another, such as a wide-angle lens by a telephoto, etc. An SLR now can either be a film camera or a digital camera.

150-300

nope, not any single DSLR directly or with adaptor up to today, and will be ever.

It is becasue of a mat
