What qualifies a camera to be a 35mm?

Are all SLR's 35mm?

The kind of Film it takes...35mm is the film type no a camera type!

First, the 35 in "35mm camera" doesn't refer to the focal length or even to the size of the image on the film. It is the width of the film including the sprockets. 35mm film is more properly called 135 format film.

It can be confusing when a 35mm camera is described as having a 35mm lens. Does this mean that the lens has a 35mm focal length (very possible) or that the writer is being specific about the camera, not the lens? Sometimes it's hard to be sure.

The second measurement that is sometimes confused with the focal length is the diameter of the filter ring. This is the threaded ring on the front of the lens barrel that accepts Filter rings come in various sizes like 49mm, 52mm, 58mm. This size is dictated by the diameter of the lens barrel and is independent of the lens focal length.
