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.
No. You cannot economically convert a film camera to a digital camera. The digital system is very different and fitting it to an existing film camera is more expensive than buying a new digital camera. Some of the more expensive professional cameras can change between film and digital backs replacing the film transport with digital technology. The replacement backing includes all the electronics and controls typical of a digital camera of that caliber.
No you cannot insert film into a digital camera. its digital, not film, it right in the name if your not sure, film only goes in film cameras like a pentax, promaster, kodak, olympus, and canon. _______________ Of course you can insert film in a digital camera, only thing is it won't actually do anything. If you're really keen to try then get a piece of film and cut it to about 1 cm² then stick it in the slot where you'd normally put the SD memory card. When you're done with that you could try putting gasoline in your toaster and seeing how much faster it works.
The Canon EOS is a professional digital SLR camera. SLR cameras offer the user the range of options in terms of lenses, flashes, etc. that a regular film camera accepts. This ability for customization combined with the way it captures the image, which is more true to a film camera than other digital cameras, account of the price.

The digital computer camera does not require film to take pictures. Once a picture is taken, it can be downloaded onto a computer to view and print whereas a film camera would need to have their film developed.
digital is , in digital camera , something that stores the picture or video it takes in electronic format instead of to film.

Medium format cameras are generally used by professional photographers, and take film in the 2-1/4 x 3-1/4 inch or 6mm X 7mm formats. A medium format digital camera would have a digital sensor of a size that could use the lenses from cameras designed for those film sizes. Some medium-format cameras like the Hasselblad have removable backs that can be replaced with a digital back that turns the film camera into a digital. These cameras and film backs typically have sensors from 20 Megapixels to about 50. Needless to say, both the cameras and lenses are wildly expensive. Equally needless to mention, they give incredible results, yielding images that can be enlarged to billboard size.
The CCD is the part of the camera that changes the light that enters the camera into a digital signal that is then saved on the memory card. You can think of it as where the film would be in a regular 35mm film camera.
