A Zoom-lens reflex (or ZLR) camera is a Single Lens Reflex (SLR) camera having an integrated zoom lens rather than the interchangeable lenses found on other SLR cameras.
The term was coined by Olympus for the IS-series film cameras[1], and was applied to the D-500L & D-600L by the PR Newswire press agency[2]. Olympus themselves only refer to these and the, D-620L[3] as "Digital cameras"[4][5].
For the E-10 and E-20 digital cameras, while some journalists[6] continued to apply the term 'ZLR' Olympus themselves reverted to using the term SLR[7][8].
In recent years the name has been applied erroneously by some to any camera superficially resembling an SLR, e.g the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8.[by whom?]
