Generally, no. Each manufacturer has proprietary mounts for their lenses and, for example, Nikon lenses will not fit a Canon and so on. There are aftermarket lenses made to fit various cameras, but you need to specify the make and even sometimes the model of the camera in order to get a mount that fits.
No, Unless the SLR camera is Olympus it will not work because Olympus lenses sue 4/3rd lenses and will not fit on any other camera
SLR or single lens reflex refers to a particular type of camera in which the image and the viewfinder are both taken from one lens. effectively WYSIWYG. auto focus auto exposure modes have been available in SLR cameras for a very long time thus making them "automatic." As a side note an SLR need not have exchangeable lenses to be an SLR nor are all cameras with exchangeable lenses SLR's. The primary advantage of SLR's is the fact that the image in the viewfinder is pretty much the image that you get when you release the shutter.
Yes. The Minolta Maxxum 7000 uses the Minolta AF mount; lenses for the camera should fit any Minolta auto-focus SLR ever made, as well as Sony's α digital SLRs (A100, A700, A200, and friends). These comments only apply to genuine Minolta lenses; non-Minolta lenses for this camera (such as some Sigma lenses) may have issues working on later cameras, such as the DSLRs mentioned above.
Vivitar makes lenses for several different camera mounts including Canon. A particular lens may fit or not depending on the mount.
hi, I'm a photographer. some cameras, like SLR's have huge lenses, like the things at the end which zoom in and out and help you focus. and on some cameras, you can take them off and put new ones on which could change the appearance of the photograph you are taking such as telephoto lenses make the background appear closer and zoom lenses twist making the image bigger or smaller. :)hope i helped
Yes, SLR's (Single Lens Reflex) cameras have the ability to change lenses from the body to adapt to different photo situations. The benefit is that all functions relating to the photo are functions of the lens. You control the aperture (the amount of light passing through the lens), focus, and zoom from the lens, the only function native to the camera is shutter speed. On automatic SLR's the camera body does all of the light calculations and transmits the information to the lens for you.
One can purchase lenses for SLR cameras through online retailers such as Amazon or eBay. Alternatively, one could purchase SLR camera lenses at a physical store such as Best Buy.
Digital SLR referes to "digital single-lens reflex." This terminology is often used when speaking about cameras. Such cameras can allow the photographer to change lenses as he or she sees fit.
the T70 uses an FD lense, which cannot be fitted onto the new range of canon digital SLR cameras which use EF and EF-1 lenses
It depends on the brand of camera and the type of lens. Most Nikon film SLR lenses will work (in manual mode) on their digital SLR cameras. Many Canon lenses will work on new Canon SLR cameras, but you have to check compatability between the camera model and the type of lens. Sony purhcased the Minolta digital camera division, so all Sony Alpha DSLRs will use Minolta lenses.
Not all of sigmas lenses are made with a 4/3 mount - but some are - http://www.4-3system.com/modules/lenses/

No, they do not. The Minolta XD-7, up to the X-700 takes the Minolta MD-type lenses. There are no digital slr cameras that will take an MD-mount lens. Only a camera hacker would be able to make an adapter out of spare parts in order to fit a specific dslr, and even then, the labor costs alone would be tremendous.
Both. Depends on how old the camera is. DSLR is just a digital version of an SLR (single-lens reflex), which are the cameras with removable lenses.
Yes. The Minolta Maxxum 7000 uses the Minolta AF mount; lenses for the camera should fit any Minolta auto-focus SLR ever made, as well as Sony's α digital SLRs (A100, A700, A200, and friends).

The short answer is "Depends" The long answer is: From 1971 to 1987, Canon SLR bodies and lenses used the Canon FD mount. In 1987, Canon introuduced the EOS SLR system. All EOS cameras use Canon EF (auto focus) lenses. They can also use independently made lenses with EOS type camera mounts. Canon FD and EF lenses have completely different mounting connections and are not compatible with each other's camera bodies. All Canon DSLR (digital single lens reflex) cameras can use all Canon EF (or independent manufacturer equivalent) lenses made for film or digital cameras. Most Canon DSLR's have an APS-C sensor that measures 22.2 x 14.8mm. (This is smaller than the 36 x 24mm image size on 35mm film.) In 2003, Canon introduced EF-S lenses that were optimized for the APS-C sensor size. The EF-S lenses will only fit on Canon 20D, 30D, 40D, and 50D cameras (as of 2008) and all Canon Digital Rebel cameras.
Nikon D series lenses are interchangeable among Nikon digital SLR cameras.
In short, yes. More specifically, as long your zoom lens is an "EF" mount lens, it will work with all Canon Digital-SLR models from the EOS line. You can determine if a lens is an EF mount from the full name of the lens. The full name of the lens is usually written on the outside of the len itself.
