Camera Types
In the world of photography, there are many camera types that exist. Some cameras come with the lens already attached and some come with only the camera body. The camera body is where all the mechanics of an image are worked out.
Point & Shoot
Point and Shoot cameras are compact cameras, useful for people who want to capture vacation pictures or family pictures. These are for people who are interested in photography, but also just wanted to capture images.
They come with a fixed lens and variable focal length. You will not be able to get the telephoto reach in a point and shoot camera.
DSLR
A DSLR camera is the short form of Digital Single Lens Reflex Camera. DSLR cameras come with a detachable lens. So, you can change the camera lens based on the type of photography. If you are doing landscape photography, you can mount a wide angle lens and for wildlife photography a telephoto lens.
Smartphones
The rise of smartphones with good cameras resulted in the decline of point and shoot cameras. Some smartphone even allows you to capture the image in RAW format, which you can edit later.
But, don’t expect this RAW file to have the same amount of picture details like a DSLR or a mirrorless one. These types of cameras are mostly suited for people who always want to have some camera in their pocket or for those who don’t want to carry separate cameras.
Medium Format
In the early days, medium format cameras used 120mm films. In this digital age, the film got replaced by the digital camera sensor with a size similar to the 120mm film. Few manufacturers still produce medium format film cameras. It comes with a bigger camera sensor and at a higher price.
So, if you are looking for extremely high-quality images with a high noise performance then you should go for medium format cameras. So, this is the first choice of camera for fashion photographers.
Film Cameras
It all started with film cameras. During the early days of photography, we use film as the medium to record images. Later, Film got replaced by the camera sensor and memory cards.
The ISO part of the image comes as the film feature. So, we need to change the film rolls according to our ISO needs.
You can control the Aperture and Shutter speed from the camera.
