Olympus IS50QD

A Zoom-lens reflex (or ZLR) camera is a low-end 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] Olympus also applied the designation to the D-500L & D-600L in press releases carried by PR Newswire.[2] Olympus now refers to these cameras, along with the D-620L,[3] simply 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, some have applied the misnomer ZLR to any camera superficially resembling an SLR whether or not it actually had a reflex mirror, e.g. the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8.[who?] (See: Bridge camera)
