Types of Cameras
DSLR
DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex) is a combination of a digital imaging sensor with a single-lens reflex camera. It is the most popular type of camera on the market. Every professional photographer will have one DSLR camera in their kit. They have a detachable lens so, if you are doing landscape photography, you can mount a wide-angle lens and for wildlife photography a telephoto lens. Few other types of lens are Macro lens, Tilt-shift lens, Lensbaby lens, and Fisheye lens. You look through the viewfinder, you’re seeing through the lens with the help of a mirror and prism. Canon and Nikon are the most popular of these types of cameras. There are two main types of DSLR cameras, Full-frame and crop sensor.
Full frame cameras have a sensor the same size as a single 35mm film camera. Crop sensor models have a smaller sensor size but are still much larger than sensors in compact cameras and phones.
Mirrorless
Remove the optical viewfinder from a DLSR and you get a mirrorless. You can see the Image falling on the camera sensor directly on the viewfinder. It makes mirrorless cameras lightweight and easy to handle. You still have a Crop frame and Full-frame; Nikon and Sony are most popular in this segment.
They also do have a detachable lens, as they are newer there are fewer lenses for it. As they have smaller size, they also have smaller batteries, so they don’t last all day cause you this you might pick a few spares. Cause it has an Electronic viewfinder could be laggy and slow.
Compactor Point and Shoot
Perfect for vacation pictures or family pictures. With a fixed lens and variable focal length. You will not be able to get the telephoto reach in a point-and-shoot camera. Most of them use AA batteries. Sensor sizes are smaller, but not so small as in most phones. One big advantage a compact camera has over a phone is the zoom lens.
Having an optical zoom lens gives you more flexibility and convenience than your phone and is one of the cheapest cameras. As everything is automated, you don’t have to pay much attention to capturing an image.
Smartphone
The best camera is the one you have with you. Storing all your photos on your device and having the option to upload them immediately also gets many people. You can capture all the candid moments, landscapes, and portraits without much effort. Another cool addition to smartphone photography is the use of lenses for your iPhone, Android, Google Pixel 4, or Huawei. This is perfect for keen photographers looking for different perspectives.
From macro, fisheye, to
telephoto lenses, you can easily clip on these small lenses to your mobile
device. They provide more flexibility than the standard lens on the phone. But
the quality may not always be so great.
360-degree
These are getting popular nowadays as they are capable of taking 360-degree photos. Even some smartphones are capable of doing this job in their extended panorama feature but not as great. You can take a single 360-degree photo with a single click with these.
They produce gorgeous, realistic-looking panoramic photos that are perfect for outdoor photographers. Many of them are able to withstand rough conditions and are weather resistant.
Film
It is not dead. The main difference from
digital cameras is that they don’t have a screen. The ISO part of the image
comes as a film feature. It has mostly been replaced by the camera sensor and
memory cards. To use these, you have to be patients and you need to be very sure
of your settings because you will not know if you get something wrong until
your film comes back from the lab. New film cameras are not so common.
