Here’s a list of digital camera brands. This list includes both former and current brands. Some of the brands’ names are licensed from another company or were acquired following the collapse of an older photographic equipment manufacturer. In most circumstances, a distinct manufacturer manufactures the camera model. In many circumstances, brands are limited to specific countries. Not all digital image-capturing devices are covered here, including numerous industrial digital camera brands, certain webcam brands, camera-equipped mobile phone brands, and video camera brands that can take digital stills. Defunct brands are listed separately.
