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
