What is the difference of these things in a CCD and a lens camera:
focal length
exposure time
aperture setting
Resolution
Film speed
Shutter time
Could also please tell me what these things are?

Focal length - on a digital camera this will be x1.5 that of the non digital camera. For a example a 200mm lens on a 35mm camera is a 300mm lens in digital world. This is to do with the amount of data captured onto the sensor

Exposure time - This is the same for both 35mm and digital. It's the measurements of blacks and whites in a shot

aperture settings - this is also the same on both 35mm and digital. It's how much the 'eye' opens on the camera when you take a shot

resolution - this is the big measurement for digital. its the amount of pixals that the cameras sensor is able to capture in an image. In theory the biger the better, but this is not always true, it's also how a camera deals with the pixils. over 6mp and you're good

Film speed - on a digital camera this still known as ISO but it's the digital equivalent which basically makes the sensor more or less sensitive to light. On a 35mm it's the sensitivity of the film you are using

shutter time - this is the same on both. its how long you leave the shutter open during a single shot

The_Big is mostly right although you can get a higher end digital with a full size sensor in which the focal legnths would be the same. Focal legth refers to the legnth the light inside the lens travels to focus it basically says how much zoom the lens has in a different way than a number with anx after it. To convert focal legnth to a multiple like some cameras show take the focal length and divide it by the sensor size so if you had a lens that was 350mm and you had a full 35mm sensor it would be a 10x lens if you had a standard digital sensor which is smaller you would first multiply the focal legnth by 1.5 before dividing.
and exposure time is the same as shutter speed

"CCD and a lens camera" ???

You are confused.

A c.c.d (charge coupled device) is the photosensitive element in a digital camera.

The other type of camera uses film.

Both types of camera use lenses.
