Polaroid Camera
The instant camera is a type of camera that generates a developed film image. The most popular types to use self-developing film were formerly made by Polaroid Corporation.
Twin Reflex Camera TLR
A twin-lens reflex camera (TLR) is a type of camera with two objectivelenses of the same focal length. One of the lenses is the photographic objective or "taking lens" (the lens that takes the picture), while the other is used for the viewfinder system, which is usually viewed from above at waist level. In addition to the objective, the viewfinder consists of a 45-degreemirror (the reason for the word reflex in the name), a matte focusing screen at the top of the camera, and a pop-up hood surrounding it. The two objectives are connected, so that the focus shown on the focusing screen will be exactly the same as on the film.
Twin Lens Reflex camera. A camera which uses a secondary lens system for viewing. A mirror reflects the image from the viewing lens to a ground glass screen.

View Camera
The view camera is a type of camera first developed in the era of the daguerreotype[1] (1840s-'50s) and still in use today, though with many refinements. It comprises a flexible bellowsthat forms a light-tight seal between two adjustable standards, one of which holds a lens, and the other a viewfinder or aphotographic film holder.[2]
The bellows is a flexible, accordion-pleated box. It encloses the space between the lens and film, and flexes to accommodate the movements of the standards.[3] The front standard is a board at the front of the camera that holds the lens and, usually, a shutter.
At the other end of the bellows, the rear standard is a frame that holds a ground glass, used for focusing and composing the image before exposure—and is replaced by a holder containing the light-sensitive film, plate, or image sensor for exposure. The front and rear standards can move in various ways relative to each other, unlike most other camera types. This provides control over focus, depth of field, and perspective. The camera is usually used on a tripod or other support.
A large format studio camera. The front and back of the camera are attached by a bellows. The screen is composed and focused on a ground glass screen before inserting the film.

Advanced Photo System APS
Advanced Photo System (APS) is a now discontinued film format for stillphotography first produced in 1996. It was marketed by Eastman Kodakunder the brand name Advantix, by FujiFilm under the name Nexia, byAgfaPhoto under the name Futura and by Konica as Centuria.
Single-lens Reflex SLR
A single-lens reflex (SLR) camera is a camera that typically uses a mirror and prism system (hence "reflex", from the mirror's reflection) that permits the photographer to view through the lens and see exactly what will be captured, contrary to viewfinder cameras where the image could be significantly different from what will be captured.

Split Image: A focusing method in both rangefinders and many SLR cameras. An out-of-focus image will appear divided. Correct focus results in an image which is aligned.

Rangefinder Camera
A rangefinder camera is a camera fitted with a rangefinder: a range-finding focusing mechanism allowing the photographer to measure the subject distance and take photographs that are in sharp focus.
