A field camera is similar to a view camera, with these differences:

• lightness: common are wooden bellows camera constructions
• often fewer or more limited movements, especially when compared to monorail cameras
• field cameras are well foldable for portability

Sometimes press cameras are called field camera, in fact they are a kind of best possible professional compromise between portable flexible view camera and viewfinder camera.
