I'm a noob when it comes to electronics and gadgets =.= So what's the difference between SLR and DSLR? I'm planning on buying a new digital camera for the first time so I have no idea about what I think I need. Also, what is the best brand? I also heard that it's wrong to think that the more the mega-pixels, the better the image quality so what do I look for when buying? There are just too many varieties out there! I would really appreciate your help. 
An SLR camera is a film camera. Normally 35mm film. SLR stands for Single-Lens Reflex
A DSLR is a digital Single-Lens Reflex. Instead of film, it has a digital sensor.
Yes, it is incorrect to think that the more megapixels, the better the image quality. It pretty much just means the size of the image and doesn't change the quality as much as other stuff do like the lens.
Nikon and Canon tend to be the best brands. However, Leica is probably the very best but very expensive. There's also Pentax, they're rather good.
Oh and those other people with long answers are just trying to sell you a camera. Don't listen to them...
