What does SLR stand for? You said what APS stands for, but what does SLR stand for? If I want to buy my first "real" (non-idiot) camera and learn how to take nice black-and-white travel and family portrait shots, is that what I want to buy?

It stands for single lens reflex. That means that the image comes through the lens, and is reflected through a prism and up on a different plane through the viewfinder of the camera. What ya see in the finder is what ya get. I think it's the best tool for learning photography and for the images you want.

Thanks. Your site is excellent -- the least intimidating, most informative I've found as I camera shop. I will keep visiting it once I get the camera to learn how to take good photos.
