Plate Camera -  A camera designed to take glass plates but often adapted to take cut film.
Box Camera - a simple camera shaped like a rectangular box.

The back of the Cannon Rebel t3 has a number of buttons that do different things. There's a menu button that takes you to the menu.. a ISO button that adjust the iso of the camera.
