Camera types
Revision as of 08:28, 2 March 2006 by ILike2BeAnonymous (talk)
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.
