Different Cameras

Compact - A compact camera is a smaller version of an SLR, it is small enough that it can be taken around in your pocket though due to the increase in phone cameras, they have been bought less frequently.


Digital SLR - Digital SLR cameras a large than compact and are usually used by more confident photographers and those who don't consider themselves amateur photographers. These types of camera are more complex than compact but do have the capabilities to take much better photographs.

Speed camera - Speed cameras are normally used to catch people speeding on the roads and are rarely used for commercial photography, though people have been known to use them for projects but it is hard to find out about them as they haven't really been done by any big name photographers.

Bridge - Bridge cameras are a type of camera in between DSLRs and Compacts most people who will use these feel their ability is too good to use compacts but not quite good enough for DSLRs. A lot of professional photographers who use DSLRs in their normal work will occasionally use Bridges as a change from their normal cameras.

Polaroid - Polaroid cameras are a type of camera that produces an image not long after the image has been taken, it is produced on a polaroid that comes out of the bottom of the camera. These aren't often used anymore, though photographers do still used for projects.

Film - Film cameras a type of camera that requires a roll of film to be used, due to the creation of digital photography in the late 1980s they have become less used, though there are still many photographers who only used film cameras in their work.

Medium format - Medium format, a small version of the large format camera are a type of film camera that over the years are used less frequently, though these are still used by a fair few people which means these stay in production.

Large format - Large format camera the original camera are rarely used anymore due to the creation of other more advanced cameras though there are still a select few who do still use them and some photographers do use them quite often.
