A press camera is a medium or large format camera suitable for use by press photographers. Press cameras most commonly employ the 4x5 inch film format. Models have also been produced for the 2.25x3.25 inch format (6x9 cm), and various 120 film formats from 6x6 cm. through 6x12 cm. European press cameras, such as the Goertz and Van Neck, used the 9x12cm format, marginally smaller than the 4"x5" format. The press camera is still in wide use in photoreportage and among fine art photographers who use it as a low cost more compact alternative to a view camera. Advances in film technology, notably finer film grain, have obviated the need for large-format cameras for most press assignments, however. In news photography, the press camera has been largely supplanted by the smaller formats of 120 film and 135 film, and more recently by digital cameras.
