This is my SLR camera, a Konica Autoreflex TC. Mounted on it is a Vivitar 80-200mm lens. Lately I am thinking of upgrading to a D-SLR.

NEWEST COLLAGE
I got the idea to make this collage from a user Penmachine, here is a link to his photostream www.flickr.com/photos/95601478@N00/
Here is a link to his latest collage:

I asked his permission to use his idea to make my own version of the collage. From top to bottom is the approximate location of each D-SLR camera in the market. Near the bottom are the higher end cameras and near the top are the entry level cameras. The horizontal lines are where I feel certain market boundaries are, the first line from the top indicates where I think the seperation between the entry-level and mid-range cameras are. The second line from the top is where I feel is the boundary between the mid-range cameras and the high-end cameras. The third line near the bottom separates the high-end cameras and the larger than 35mm D-SLRs.
Some of the cameras here are not actually D-SLRs but I included them because their performance and their target market is inline with D-SLRs. These cameras are the; Olympus E-P1, Sigma DP2, Panasonic Lumix DMC GF-1, Panasonic Lumix DMC GH-1, Leica X1, and the Leica M9. All of these cameras share performance that is equal to a D-SLR in terms of image quality. The Leica M9 is a digital rangefinder, the rest rely on live view on the rear LCD with the exception of the Panasonic Lumix DMC GH-1, which uses an EVF (electronic viewfinder).
The cameras that I classified as entry-level and typically of lower build quality, for instance they do not have weather sealing or a strong body to tolerate abuse. These cameras come with a pentamirror and usually have a shutter life of 100,000 actuations. The second group of cameras from the top I classified as mid-range cameras, these usually have a higher build quality with better weather sealing and stronger bodies. They come with pentaprism viewfinders and some of them come with 100% viewfinder coverage (Canon EOS 7D, Nikon D300s, Sony Alpha D-SLR A900, Pentax K7, Olympus E-3). Some of these bodies have shutters rated for more actuations, the Canon EOS 7D, Canon EOS 5D Mark II, Nikon D300s, Nikon D700, and Olympus E-3 all have a shutter life rated at 150,000 cycles. The only camera that I placed in this group that I was not sure of was the Leica X1, it has an APS-C sized sensor to deliver good image quality but it does not quite have the same specs as the other cameras around $2,000. The second group from the bottom I consider to be the high-end cameras in the D-SLR market. Their prices range from $4,500-$9,000. These cameras have the highest levels of weather sealing available and have bodies to take much more abuse. Canon and Nikon's shutters are rated for 300,000 actuations in this class, I am not sure what the Leica M9 would be rated at. All the viewfinders in this class (aside from the Leica M9) are 100% coverage pentaprisms. The fourth class I identified at the bottom are the D-SLRs that have a sensor size greater that of 35mm film equivalent. These cameras are ridiculously expensive, costing on average $20,000-$60,000, depending on what resolution digital back you choose. These cameras are usually used by high-end fashion and portrait photographers. These cameras are capable of producing massive sized images.

This is my Canon EOS Digital Rebel XS with the optional battery grip and lens hood I bought for it. Its hard to find images of a Canon EOS Digital Rebel XS with both the optional battery grip and the official EF-S 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 IS lens hood. So here it is.
About the Photo
I took this with my old Canon Powershot SX110 IS and used a vivitar flash to light the background, I also used a reflector to the right and had a north facing window to the left.

This collage follows the same template as my Canon EOS Prime Lens collage so comparing lenses between the two should be easy. I am not as familiar with these lenses as I am with Canon's lenses and there is a fair chance I might have left one or two out, if I did I would like to know. Like the Canon lense collage, I divided the lense market into: budget lenses, mid-range lenses, and high-end lenses. It is not as easy to differentiate between high-end lenses as with Canon, because Canon designated their high-end lenses with "LSeries". Just like Canon, all of the telephoto primes are high priced, but I divided them up mainly based on lense speed. New Sony owners should be Aware that there are older Minolta lenses out there that they could buy for their new cameras.

This collage follows the same template as my Minolta A Mount Prime Lenses Collage and my Canon EOS Prime Lenses Collage to allow easy comparisons. Like the other collages I divided the lens market into: budget, mid-range, and high-end, based mainly on price, maximum aperture, and lens quality. I am not as familiar with nikon lenses as I am with Canon lenses, so there is a good chance I might have missed some lenses. I used one of the mid-range 50mm lenses in the figure to represent 3 different lenses because my figure does not have enough space to graphically represent them individually. One thing I noticed while making this graph, is that Nikon has a lot of manual focus lenses still available for their cameras, for example; Wide Angle 24mm f/2.8 AIS Manual Focus Lens, Wide Angle 28mm f/2.8 AIS Manual Focus Lens, Wide Angle 35mm f/1.4 AIS Manual Focus Lens, NIKKOR Normal 50mm f/1.2 AIS Manual Focus Lens, Normal Macro 55mm f/2.8 Micro Nikkor AIS Manual Focus Lens, Normal AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 AIS Manual Focus, and all of the tilt-shifts. You can find all of these manual focus lenses on B&H Photo. With Canon, all of their EOS system lenses are autofocus except the tilt-shift lenses.
