Hi Rdv. I bought my first SLR ~ 1964. It was a Sears and Roebuck
made by Ricoh {spelling}.

SLR (Single Lens Reflex) cameras go way back and use film only.
DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex) cameras, as the "D" implies, are digital and capture images to a sensor and then transfers the images to a card for later processing.
It's that simple. first came SLR cameras. I bought my first SLR in 1968. Then came DSLR cameras. I bought my first DSLR in 2011.

Nobody has mentioned TLR. Good cameras but if you took a head and shoulders portrait of your girlfriend all you get is a great shot of her boobs if you forget to raise the camera before pressing the shutter release.

Not quite that drastic. most of the nicer cameras had a parallax guide in the finder to reduce your chances of chopping off the top of someone's head. and for much higher precision, there were position adjusting devices sometimes called a "paramender" that precisely raised the camera the distance between the lenses. so you could focus with your viewing lens then this gadget exactly transposed the taking lens into that spot.
I used a rolleicord and a yashicamat 124g quite a bit.

Have you even read the thread at all????
Because I counted 11 different posts prior to yours that mention TLR cameras.
Maybe what you really meant was, "Hey I'm too lazy to read the thread, but I want to sound as if I really know what I am talking about, so I'll just assume that no-one has mentioned them, and answer along those lines."

incorrect SS. digital imaging devices are primarily computers with lenses attached as an afterthought.

not correct, sorry. there are fully environmental friendly developers, stop baths and fixers readily available on the market.
with reard to digital chips, think blood diamonds. the rare minerals in digital imaging devices are mined, and sold to manufacturers by warlords, supporting their favorite sport - killing and torturing civilians - see C.A.R.

on the first, you are absolutely correct - you don't have to know anything, ignorance is rewarded with digital.
on the second, you are incorrect, given any digital imaging device in production today and for the forseeable future, a film print will far surpass a digital image.
on the third, you are incorrect. sales of vinyl have increased 600% in the past year. and it should be noted, these are new vinyl releases by major artists and bands, and... it is young people who are driving the market. pressing plants cannot keep up with the demand. also, the manufacture of turntables, over the past 5 years, has jumped tremendously from $300.00 to $500,000.00+.
digital anything is limited to ones and zeds. analog anything is limited only by the instrumentation required to read it. digital is fixed, analogue is plastic, and no pun intended.

If you are referring to the photo, it is my sound and light trigger. It features a delay and sensitivity control. For instance firing an air gun at a tomato requires a slight delay to show the pellet hitting the tomato. Bursting a balloon requires no delay. Sensitivity at maximum can trigger the flash by heavy breathing
