{{Infobox camera}} is provided as a means to describe the functional aspects of a camera. It is intended to provide a means to describe still image or motion picture cameras utilizing any kind of image sensor, whether it be chemical (eg, silver halide) or electronic (CCD or CMOS). It is intentionally broad to provide a means to describe most given cameras.
