How many types of cameras are there?

It's hard to give a simple answer. There are many types of cameras including:

• Single Use Cameras

• Compact Lens-Shutter Cameras

• Bridge Cameras

• Rangefinders

• Twin Lens Reflex

• SLR (Single Lens Reflex)

Digital compacts and SLRs are one category, but film cameras come in many shapes and sizes for a number of different roles, from 8x10 inch view cameras (the size of the sheet film they take) to 110 pocket cameras.
