depends how far you want to take it as you have things like the ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition System) system the police use, cameras on satellites, telescopes, 'spy' planes.

For some reason I get the impression that this may be a trick question, after all, aren't cameras pretty much the same anyway? Perhaps whoever asked you knows that mechanically there are maybe only 2-3 types of camera (I don't actually have a clue :) ). I may be wrong though, just a feeling :)

How about:

Infrared cameras
Aura cameras (http://cebunet.com/aura/)
Key holre surgery camera?
 
Personally I think you have some duplicates in there. All the different film formats (35mm, 120, 110 etc) don't need their own listing, just the type of camera (unless you were told otherwise, if so you're in for a world of pain) i.e.
SLR
TLR
coupled and non coupled Rangefinder
Field camera
monorail camera
press camera
pinhole
wet plate (really just another type of film but it is quite specialised)
camera obscura (another type of pinhole)
point & shoot
stereo

there are others but I've run out of things off the top of my head. Why do you need to make the list?
 
Disc
110 cartridge.

Then there was another cartridge size bigger than 110 which I can't remember - 126?
 
It's Twin Lens REFLEX (and single lens reflex)
 
web camera?
underwater camera
camera phone
 
candid camera
 
Spy cameras - Minox and the like.
Watch cameras
Gun cameras
Belt buckle cameras
Press cameras (Speed Graphic)

Then, you could split DSLRs down into several sub groups - 4/3rds, APS-C, APS-H, FF, Medium format. Then down further since Canon's APS-C sensor is marginally smaller than Nikon's (1.6x compared to 1.5). 35mm can be subdivided too - "Normal" 36mm x 24mm, 1/2 frame, panoramic. Same with Medium Format, with 6 x 4.5, 6 x 6, 6 x 7, 6 x 17. Video Cameras come in many different formats too - VHS, VHS-C, Betamax, let alone the newer digital formats.
 
ive spelt this wrong but theres one called a degueroscope or something like that :lol: oops its a type of print sorry " Daguerreotype"

Thermal Imaging Camera
Microfilm camera ( commercial use not James Bond)
Aerial Camera ( Photo Mapping)
Repro Camera
126 camera
Super8 Camera
9.5mm Cine Camera ( very old, had sprocket holes in the middle of the film between frames)
Gun Camera (attached to aircraft)
Motion Picture Camera (35mm & 70mm)

iMax Camera

I'm sure I could come up with more if I had more time
 
1/3" and 2/3" ccd cameras (video) - recording to EXCAM, HDV, betacam, DVCPRO, and many more...
triple ccd video cameras...
RED (based on mysterium sensor...)
various cinema digital systems (phantom etc)
617 (panoramic) camera...
bullet camera
camera obscura...
etc

there's waaaay many types of camera, depending on how pedantic you want to get :P :D
 
cooled ccd camera mono and osc (one shot colour) ?
 
You could take a trip to the National Media Museum in Bradford. Should find loads there
