Dumb Question I expect but could someone help

What is digital slr?

I ahve looked at the fuji finepix s7000 and the EOS Digital Rebel

I don't know what the difference is

Is one film and other flash card or are they both flash card?

Do I need a film scanner to put on pc?

What are the benefits of slr? Seems a lot of people say they are best.

Any help appreciated.

This is a honest request for help.

many thanks

As generally used in these groups, a "digital SLR" is a camera body
that takes the same (mostly) lenses as some particular line of 35mm
film SLRs, but which records the images digitally.

Is one film and other flash card or are they both flash card?

Both store the photos to memory cards of some sort.

Do I need a film scanner to put on pc?

No.

Interchangeable lenses is the biggest one. Also, similarity to what
we're used to working with (many of us came to digital from years of
working with 35mm film SLRs). Faster response, faster focusing. Much
lower image noise levels especially at high ISOs (because they use
physically larger sensors, and sensors optimized for quality giving up
things like live preview).

This is a "money plus effort" for "flexibility and quality" tradeoff.
The DSLR plus lenses is a LOT heavier and more expensive than
something like the Fuji S7000 or whatever. However, you can do a lot
more with it if you take the time to learn how and work hard enough to
actually do it. Which will fit your needs/desires better, you'll have
to figure out for yourself.

Any help appreciated.

This is a honest request for help.

Hope that helps!

A digital SLR (single-lens-reflex) has interchangeable lenses and is
usually classified as a Prosumer camera. You can get an overview and

How to read newsgroups.

What is digital slr?

Here's the basic story.

There are at least two ways of dividing up cameras.

1. Digital vs. film. A digital camera captures images to a flash
card or other electronic medium. Digital is usually better for
capturing digital images, and certainly more convenient for capturing
digital images. In fact, for snapshots and medium-quality
enlargements, digital is more convenient in every regard. But a
digital camera will be more expensive than a film camera of the same
quality, sometimes much more expensive.

2. SLR vs. fixed-lens. An SLR lets you change lenses, while a
fixed-lens camera does not. (There are other non-SLR cameras that
also let you change lenses, though.) The reasons an SLR is better
than a fixed-lens camera are threefold: First, you can change lenses,
so you have more flexibility. Secondly, because you can use more than
one lens, you don't have to have one lens that does everything, so you
get higher quality. Thirdly, most SLRs are designed to be of higher
quality than most fixed-lens cameras.

A digital SLR is just that: a digital camera that lets you change
lenses.

Nope. An SLR (Single Lens Reflex) has a single lens (as opposed to dual
lens cameras[1]), and uses a reflex (mirror) to send the image to the
viewfinder. Whether or not the lens is interchangable has nothing to do
with it. The fact of the matter is that virtually all SLRs have
interchangable lenses; however, some rangefinders do, too.

Much snipping

De facto perhaps but not *required* by the words "single-lens reflex"!
