The acronym stands for "zoom lens reflex". The term was originally applied
to SLRs with a non-removable lens. In modern times, the term also applies
to high end digital cameras with full manual controls that are SLR-like in
operation, even if they are not true SLRs..such as digicams with electronic
viewfinders. Popular ZLR models include Olympus E20, Olympus C-8080, Canon
Pro1, Canon G6, Nikon 8800, Nikon 8400, Panasonic FZ20 and lots of others.

Here are some links..

Thanks for the links. I have been hearing the term ZLR quite a bit on my
University campus. I *know* what a ZLR is, but until now I haven't been
able to put it into words.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

It is basically a digital camera that acts like an SLR, but it is not
an SLR. Still confused? Good. That means you understand. <grin><!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
