Most answers are correct but they do not truly explain the real benefit of a SLR camera.
When viewing the subject to be photographed through a double lens (TLR) you experience a problem known as parallax, something like when you are sitting in the passengers seat (right side) of an automobile and you look at the speedometer on the dashboard it would appear to you that the auto may be traveling at 60 mph when in fact the auto would really be moving at only 50 mph. With SLR (see through the lens) you are looking exactly at the subject, there would be no right or left distortion of the image once the photograph is taken.

Well SLR stands for Single Lens Reflex, In this sort of camera one lens is used for both focusing and taking this picture. In most SLRs light is directed between the 2 functions by means of a 45 degree mirror which swings up as the shutter is activated but before it actually opens. The big advantage of an SLR over other camera types is that the image in the viewfinder is the same as that in actually captured on the film.

No doubt the potential for the best Landscape Photography lies in FF or Larger Format. Affordability wise it's the Pentax K5IIs which is weather proof. Same senor as the Nikon D7000 without an AA Filter. Cost, features, and IQ wise I just don't think much beats it. It's highly rated in those 3 categories so for under $1000 you just can't find much with the features and the IQ this model has. To find better you would need to couple a higher end lens on a higher end body and get closer $2000 .... say a Nikon D7100 with an excellent Nikkor lens ... then to beat that you would have to reach $4000 plus with a 2k body and a 2k lens..... but maybe the Sony A7 with the better Sony 50mm at around $2500 would still give that 2k by 2k rig at $4000 total a very good run? But imagine the Sony A7r with that lens still puts you in at 3k plus...... I'd buy a Fuji X-e1 with the 18-50 kit and a Fuji 27mm and have two great lenses and be teetering on $1000 with a nice rig, a very nice rig indeed..... who needs light speed af for Landscapes anywho? Unlike Nikons I could still mount any manual focus lens and still have infinity focus. Unlike Sony I would have very nice Zeiss like native glass at a fraction of Sony Zeiss cost..... I'd rather be all consumed with my shot, the light, the angles..... then worrying if I had the best of any rig though, what a distraction to the whole concept?

Single Lens Reflex
Definition: Standing for single-lens reflex, these are higher-end digital cameras revered by serious photographers. The digital versions of SLRs work in this manner: the shutter retracts so an image can be recorded. One of the prime benefits of using a digital SLR camera is that lenses are interchangeable.

SLR in photographic camera jargon stands for Single Lens Reflex. The eyepiece of such cameras "see" through the same lens that takes the picture e.g. Nikon, Cannon, Lieca, etc., rather two lenses as in the old Rollieflex or Yashica twin lens reflex cameras.

Single Lens Reflex - basically, there is only one lens, and you can look directly through it. (As opposed to a Twin-Lens Reflex or TLR, where you look down through one lens, and the picture is taken through another. Much simpler for the photographer!)
