Woodchuck Bill decided to say...... (Al Dykes) wrote in : I first heard this term a week ago and then this news group shows up on my server. What does "zlr" stand for ? The acronym stands for "zoom lens reflex". The term was originally applied to SLRs with a non-removable lens. In modern times, the term also applies to high end digital cameras with full manual controls that are SLR-like in operation, even if they are not true SLRs..such as digicams with electronic viewfinders. Popular ZLR models include Olympus E20, Olympus C-8080, Canon Pro1, Canon G6, Nikon 8800, Nikon 8400, Panasonic FZ20 and lots of others. Here are some links.. http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/ZLR http://www.photoreporter.com/2004/04...lr_vs_slr.html http://www.jafaphotography.com/digit...a_features.htm Thanks for the links. I have been hearing the term ZLR quite a bit on my University campus. I *know* what a ZLR is, but until now I haven't been able to put it into words. It is basically a digital camera that acts like an SLR, but it is not an SLR. Still confused? Good. That means you understand. grin |
