A press camera is a medium or large format camera suitable for use by press photographers.
Press cameras were widely used from the 1900s through the early 1960s and commonly had the following features:
collapsibility into strong, compact boxes
easily interchangeable lenses
ability to accept sheet film, film packs, and rollfilm, through the use of interchangeable film backs and holders, often conforming to the "Graflock" standard set by Graflex
bellows focusing
optical rangefinder focusing
ground glass focusing
handheld operation
flash-synchronized central shutter (many older cameras had focal-plane shutters)
reduced number or absence of movements, in contrast to field cameras
