A 35 mm camera uses 35 mm film. Negative or slide is 24 X 36 mm in dimension. Point and shoot cameras are the "basics." They generall have fixed apertures and shutter speeds. Some have zoom lenses. Rangefinders are work horses of yesteryear, but the prices that Leica's command make it obvious they're still wonderful cameras. They, like point and shoot, have viewfinders which are offset from the lens axis. When you use one of these, you must be aware od parallax, thatis, what you see in the viewfinder isn't exactly what will be passed through the lens to the film. Light [the subject] passes through the lens to a mirror that directs it to a pentaprism. The unique pieces of optical glass directs the light [subject] to the viewfinder. You see and can focus, compose, etc. the picture you paln to take. When you press the shutter, the mirror is moved out of the way and the light [subject] passes to the film or media card. Hopes this helps. John
