How to Convert an SLR Camera Into a Digital
An SLR camera is a removable-lens-based film camera. You use a standard roll of film that you must process before seeing the images. Although you cannot directly convert the camera into a digital camera, you can convert the pictures it takes into a digital format. This allows you to take pictures and turn them into digital images while saving you money by not having to purchase a new digital camera.
