Can anyone point me in the right direction (website or book) that will explain the nomenclature of a DSLR. (i.e. what is it referring to when it talks about the lens being 18-135 mm, etc). I have a general idea what the specs are referring to but I want to make sure that I completely understand before I actually take the leap to buying a dslr.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for that canon site. I just started looking at it and it's already teaching me exactly what I wanted to know.
