Welcome to Camerapedia.org, a free-content encyclopedia of camera information.  The goal of this site is to be a repository for information and links to information about all still camera brands and models. You know your camera equipment better than anyone. Please share that knowledge with everyone and contribute.  To learn more about this project you can read the [[Camerapedia.org:About|About Camerapedia.org]] page.

Following are two alphabetical lists of cameras, the first by manufacturer, the second by model. This may be confusing, as the name on the front of the camera may not be the name of the manufacturer (for example, Pentax cameras were made by Asahi Optical Co.). So if you don't find the camera you're looking for in one list, check the other one.

== Introduction to Cameras ==
 
A camera is just a means to an end; a tool for producing photographs.  That's easy to say but for some it is like saying to a car enthusiast that a Ferrari is just a means of getting from point A to point B. It is not uncommon for a craftsman to fall in love with his tools but photographers seem particularly susceptible to camera lust. A little understanding of how the camera as a tool works will help with its selection, care and operation.
