DSLRor digital single lens refluxcameras are what many people think of when they picture a camera. DSLRs comprise a body and detachable lenses. This type of camera takes extremely high-quality pictures, which can be enhanced to tremendous sizes. They're not cheap though: a good DSLR can cost around $500 USD, while professional-quality models can cost over $1,200 USD. Buying a high-quality DSLR allows you to purchase a variety of lens typesfor example, wide angle, macro, or fish-eyewithout having to purchase a new camera for each lens. With a DSLR, you have total control over the photograph. You can adjust the shutter speed alone, the aperture alone, change the ISO speed to whatever you want, or just use it like a large point and shoot. Unlike point and shoot cameras, you can use interchangeable lenses. This means that you have a wide range of lenses to choose from, depending on the manufacturer. The downsides of DSLRs are that they are heavier and more expensive. They are also less practical to carry around. Point and shoot cameras are just what they sounds like: you point your camera at the subject, zoom in or out, then press the button to take the picture. Such cameras require very little effort on the part of the photographer. They typically focus themselves and adjust themselves to light conditions. One downside of the point-and-shoot style of camera is that, if you have any desire to capture fast moving kids or pets, the shutter lag of a point and shoot will make it impossible. Point-and-shoot cameras lack many of the bells and whistles of more expensive DSLRs. There are usually no manual controls, so have relatively little control over the output image. However, this isn't necessarily a bad thing: point-and-shoots produce good pictures and are good for casual, occasional photographers. This type of camera also has the perk of being small: most point-and-shoots can easily fit in a small backpack or purse pocket, and many could fit in your pocket. Point-and-shoot compact cameras range in price from $200-400 USD. Mirrorless cameras can be substantially smaller than DSLRs, since their internal structure is different and they don't have a light-bouncing mirror structure. While these cameras don't offer image qualities quite as high as DSLR cameras, they still produce high-quality photos. Interchangeable lenses are another perk, which allows users to use different lenses in different settings. Mirrorless cameras have various other names. Most frequently, they're called mirrorless interchangeable-lens cameras (MILC). MILCs start in the $300-400 USD range. Professional-level MILCs can cost as much as $4,000 USD. Now that a good number of hobbyists and professionals are going digital, film cameras have the advantage of being extremely cheap compared to a digital camera of the same quality. Film cameras do not have the same issues with visual noise as low-range digital cameras, though of course you get grain from the film. Nearly all film cameras are SLRs, and their quality is comparable to that of DSLRs. Of course, using an analog camera brings many other expenses with it. You'll need to pay for film and for developing costs, unless you know someone with a darkroom and are prepared to learn how to develop your own B&W film. Developing film can get expensive if you're taking lots of photos. You can find decent, unused film cameras for $200 USD or less.

One-sentence summary -- Purchase a DSLR if you're a serious hobbyist or a professional. Select a DSLR for complete control over the process of taking photos. Buy a point-and-shoot if you'd like a cheap camera that's easy to use. Opt for a point-and-shoot if you want a bare-bones, inexpensive camera. Buy a mirrorless camera for portability and relatively high quality. Select an analog (film) camera if you'd like a cheap, high-quality option.
