A still camera is a type of camera used to take photographs. Traditional cameras capture light onto photographic film. Digital cameras use electronics, usually a charge coupled device (CCD) to store digital images in computer memory inside the camera, which can be transferred to a computer for later processing.
The still camera may be divided in a number of types (note that some cameras fall into more than one category):
- Autofocus camera
- Box camera
- Compact camera
- Digital camera
- Disposable camera
- Field camera
- Folding camera
- Instant camera
- Live-preview digital camera
- Pinhole camera
- Press camera
- Rangefinder camera
- Single-lens reflex camera
- Stereo camera
