Most of the new cameras are equipped with SLR technology. Some are not still, but generally all of the newer models are. Canon and Sony have a lot of models with SLR technology.
All major camera companies make SLR cameras, as well as digital SLR cameras. My photography teacher always recommended the Promaster 2500PK Manual SLR camera for its ease of use, value, and manual functions.

No, film single lens reflex (SLR) cameras exist, albeit obsolete. Currently all commercial single lens reflex cameras are digital, however, it may be possible to find a retailer or more likely, a private seller in possession of a functional film SLR camera.
I have a Nikon D40. Easy to use, all the quailty of a Cannon, but with a lower price.
Using, and becoming proficient with, a single lens reflex (SLR) camera is one of the pinnacles of amateur photography, and with the drop in cost and the increase in quality of digital technology; every serious photographer should use a digital SLR. The cameras are very versatile and offer the user the ability to create the photograph he actually envisions. With the multitude of settings on a digital SLR, the photographer can go from being a complete point and shoot novice to managing every little detail in the photograph, all without having to further upgrade to a new camera.
Actually, aside from wide-angle or wide-aperture interchangeable lenses, there is little to recommend a digital SLR over other digital cameras these days and new non-SLR cameras are starting to have interchangeable lenses. A number of digital cameras include a 'viewfinder' screen in addition to the large back screen...both show exactly the framing of the image that will be captured. In one sense these cameras are BETTER than a SLR because, in the manual mode, the latter always show a view even though the exposure settings may be incorrect. Most of the popular SLR digital camera also have an option to show the view on a large digital back screen. An SLR camera offers a much wider variety of lens selections and are the camera of choice for most serious amateur photographers and all professionals.
There are many options for digital SLR cameras but the most popular company is Nikon. Nikon offers a range of cameras including moderately priced consumer models starting around $500 and professional cameras reaching upwards of $7000.
It depends on the brand of camera and the type of lens. Most Nikon film SLR lenses will work (in manual mode) on their digital SLR cameras. Many Canon lenses will work on new Canon SLR cameras, but you have to check compatability between the camera model and the type of lens. Sony purhcased the Minolta digital camera division, so all Sony Alpha DSLRs will use Minolta lenses.
The Nikon D5100 is about as good as it gets for an SLR Camera. Your best bet for purchasing one though would be your closest Camera Store. That way a specialist can make sure you're getting the camera that suits your needs and the needed accessories.
Praktica BC1 lenses are designed for older film cameras with a specific mount, which is not compatible with most modern digital SLR cameras. While some adapters exist, they may not support all functions such as autofocus or automatic aperture control. It's generally advisable to use lenses specifically designed for your digital SLR camera's mount to ensure optimal performance and compatibility.
All filters are threaded to screw onto the inside threads of the outside rim of a lens. Virtually all lenses, especially those for a digital camera such as yours, will accept a screw on filter at their 'outer' rim (away from the camera). Be sure the filter you have is the same diameter as the lens - they come in varying sizes, according to the type of lens.
Canon produces many different types of cameras, ranging from family photo cameras to professional Digital Single Lens Reflex Cameras. While they are all digital now, Canon used to produce many film cameras.
