    DIFFERENT TYPES

    OF CAMERAS

    FORENSIC 1
    WS (8:00-10:00)

    FRANK ANTHONY A. SANCHEZ


    1. DSLR (Digital Single-lens Reflex)

    - A DSLR (Digital Single-Lens Reflex) camera is a type of digital camera that


    uses a mirror mechanism to direct light from the camera's lens to an optical
    viewfinder on the back of the camera. The term "single-lens reflex" refers to
    the camera's use of a single lens for both viewing and taking pictures.
    - The first DSLR camera was invented in 1986 by Kodak, but it was not until
    the late 1990s that DSLRs became widely available to consumers.

    2. Mirrorless Camera

    - A mirrorless camera, also known as a mirrorless interchangeable lens camera


    (MILC), is a type of digital camera that, unlike a DSLR (Digital Single-Lens
    Reflex) camera, doesn't use a mirror and an optical viewfinder. Instead, it
    relies on digital displays and electronic viewfinders to provide a preview of the
    captured image.
    - The first mirrorless camera commercially marketed was the Panasonic Lumix
    DMC-G1, released in Japan in October 2008.
    3. Compact Camera

    - A compact camera, often referred to as a point-and-shoot camera, is a small


    and lightweight digital camera designed for simple operation and portability.
    These cameras are typically designed for casual photographers who want a
    convenient and easy-to-use device without the complexities of manual
    controls found in more advanced cameras like DSLRs or mirrorless cameras.
    - The first portable digital camera that was actually marketed commercially was
    sold in December 1989 in Japan, the DS-X by Fuji. The first commercially
    available portable digital camera in the United States was the Dycam Model
    1, first shipped in November 1990.

    4. Digital Cinema Camera

    - A digital cinema camera is a specialized type of digital camera designed for


    capturing high-quality video and cinematic footage. Unlike consumer-oriented
    camcorders or DSLRs primarily designed for photography with video
    capabilities, digital cinema cameras are purpose-built for professional video
    production and filmmaking.
    - Beginning in the late 1980s, Sony began marketing the concept of "electronic
    cinematography," utilizing its analog Sony HDVS professional video cameras.
    The effort met with very little success. However, this led to one of the earliest
    high definition video shot feature movies, Julia and Julia (1987).
