== Digital SLRs == {{Main|Digital single-lens reflex camera}} Canon, Nikon and [[Pentax]] have all developed digital SLR cameras (DSLRs) using the same lens mounts as on their respective film SLR cameras.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=rixBBAAAQBAJ&q=Canon%2C+Nikon+and+Pentax+have+all+developed+digital+SLR+cameras+%28DSLRs%29+using+the+same+lens+mounts+as+on+their+respective+film+SLR+cameras.&pg=PA109|title=Digital SLR Cameras and Photography For Dummies|last=Busch|first=David D.|date=2014-09-15|publisher=John Wiley & Sons|isbn=978-1-118-97183-3|language=en}}</ref> Konica Minolta did the same, and after having bought Konica Minolta's camera division in 2006. Sony continues using the Minolta AF lens mount in their DSLRs, including cameras built around [[Sony SLT camera|a semi-transparent fixed mirror]]. Samsung builds DSLRs based on the [[Pentax]] lens mount. [[Olympus (company)|Olympus]], on the other hand, chose to create a new digital-only [[Four Thirds System]] SLR standard, adopted later by Panasonic and Leica. Contax came out with a DSLR model, the [[Contax N Digital|Contax N-Digital]]. This model was too late and too expensive to be competitive with other camera manufacturers. The Contax N-digital was the last Contax to use that maker's lens system, and the camera, while having impressive features such as a full-frame sensor, was expensive and lacked sufficient write-speed to the memory card for it to be seriously considered by some professional photographers. The digital single-lens reflex camera have largely replaced film SLRs design in convenience, sales and popularity at the start of the 21st century.
