Main Page

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 About Camerapedia.org page.

If you would like to add or correct any information on this site, all you have to do is use the "edit" tab at the top of any page. (You must first sign up for a user account here if you want to edit pages. It's simple and free.) There are also "edit" links to the right of every major section. Feel free to play around in the Sandbox, if you'd like to see how this thing works before actually making changes.

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.
