Digital Point and Shoot Camera
Many hobby photographers have what's referred to as a point and shoot camera. These types of cameras are usually quite small and lightweight, allow you to view the picture on a digital screen instead of looking through the viewfinder, and do not have complicated accessories like interchangable lenses.
