| + | [* icon_caution] ***If you buy a used DSLR/Mirrorless camera, make sure you know the shutter count (or an average). If the seller does not know, look for a camera with a known shutter count or buy from someone who is willing to check and disclose it (or an average from prior sales).*** |
| [* icon_caution] ***Mirrorless cameras with a high shutter count are likely to work fine (with many having shutters tested to ~250k+) but should be discounted to match.*** | |

| [* black] ***Smartphone:*** Everyone has one at this point. For the most part, many have cameras which are good enough (or are "P&S quality"). ***While not as good as a DSLR or Mirrorless camera, image quality is generally good enough.*** | |
| [* black] ***Mirrorless:*** These are similar to DSLRs but have fewer moving parts and smaller bodies. Many use the same sensors as DSLR cameras and use different lenses ***but accept SLR lenses with an adapter (Sony LA-EA, Canon EF>RF, Nikon F>Z).*** | |
| [* black] ***DSLR:*** Similar to Mirrorless cameras, but use different lenses. These still get better battery life compared to mirrorless cameras (and sometimes better lens options as well) but are much larger. ***NOTE: I am showing a prosumer DSLR, but it is not required.*** | |
| [* black] ***Point and Shoot:*** Due to smartphone camera quality advancements, these are far less common. However, they are a solid fallback camera option. ***Due to most smartphones being “good enough” MOST P&S cameras have been discontinued. The used market will be more reliable as the cameras offered will be significantly better than most new options.*** |
