There are several different camera types. Each camera type has its own unique attributes that distinguish it from the others.

Note that the main distinguishing features are:

  • the shape of the body (rigid, folding, monorail...)
  • the viewing system (external finder, SLR, TLR...)
  • the focusing system (guess focusing, rangefinder, reflex...)
  • the lens attachment (fixed, fixed zoom, interchangeable)
  • the sensor (digital, 35mm film, 120 film, cut film...) and the format (24x36mm, 6x6cm...)

Unusual combinations of these features have existed, for example folding TLRs, subminiature SLRs and so on.
