A twin lens has 2 lenses, one for viewing and one for taking the image! An SLR is a single lens reflex camera. That is, you view through and photograph through the same lens. I don't know of any twin lens cameras that do digital photography, but I have never checked on the availability. In any event, if you look through one lens and shoot through another, its twin lens. If you view and shoot through the same lens its an SLR. If you look through a viewing window and shoot through the lens, then its a viewfinder camera.

An SLR camera is a Single Lens relflex camera. An SLR camara has the characteristics that vision is through the lens and that the lens is removable and interchangable.
Hope this helps...

It should clearly state whether it's:
* SLR (optical viewfinder, you look through the lens)
* EVF/ 'SLR like' (electronic viewfinder, you look through the lens)
* Range camera/ twin lens (optical viewfinder, you look alongside the lens. pretty rare with digitals)
