types of cameras

First: general use cameras:

These cameras are intended for handheld use, but of course they can also be used on a stand. These cameras are designed with their standard (normal) lens to photograph normal subjects under normal photographic conditions. And most of the good ones can, with interchangeable lenses or assistive devices, expand their range of uses in an astounding way.

1- Size 110 cameras and disc cameras (with a disk): These are very small types that use a small film area that is not suitable for enlarging more than a postal card. These types are nothing more than a game and were designed for the average person or the beginner who does not want more than to take a few memorial photos with the least amount of money, mental effort and technological knowledge. Despite the high price of some models, the size of the film makes it very limited capabilities.
It has the ability to change lenses, so it is possible to use telephoto or obtuse lenses or microscopic imaging. This type of camera is the only one that can use lenses and zoom on it.

The fastest shutter speed is found in these cameras, because the vast majority use the focal plane shutter, whose speed in one of the models reached 1 second. But the average fastest shutter speed is milliseconds.

Most of them measure the light through the lens and so automatically take into account which lenses or filters are placed in front of the lens. Some of them measure the light from the film, as we mentioned above. .

Most of them can be fitted with a motor for automatic film winding

Some of them have the engine built in

Some of them can be equipped with an underwater camera

These cameras include: The drawback

It is heavier than its counterparts that use the same film size

Loud camera action.

Electronic flash syncs only at low speeds, often lower

of them from the second .

The viewfinder is darkened during the exposure, which makes the photographer unsure of what is happening during the shooting in practice (this only matters at slow speeds).

The viewfinder is less illuminated than cameras with a separate viewfinder, which makes it difficult to see in dark places.
