'''Cameras''' are objects included in ''[[The Sims 2: University]]'', ''[[The Sims 3 World Adventures]]'', ''[[The Sims 3: Island Paradise]]'' and ''[[The Sims 4]]''. [[Sim]]s can use them to take photos, similar to snapshots the player can take, and they are typically associated with a [[photography]] skill.
 
==The Sims 2: University==
'''Cameras''' are objects introduced in ''[[The Sims 3 World Adventures]]''. [[Sim]]s cannot practice [[Photography]] without a camera, like taking classes, because there isn't a rabbit hole to provide the skill. The skill is later re-introduced in [[The Sims 3: University Life|University Life]] with the smartphones. Using a camera presents the player with a first-person view, the second instance of which in any ''The Sims'' game.<ref>The first instance was in [[The Sims (console)|''The Sims'' for console]], in which using the "FISH EYE" cheat will display the game in first-person view.</ref> Cameras are also returned in ''[[The Sims 4: Get to Work]]'' as well as the Photography skill with more features than before.
{{Main|Luminous Pro Antique Camera}}
The '''Luminous Pro Antique Camera''' is unlocked as a career reward for the [[artist]] career. Unlike later games, it is associated with the [[Creativity (skill)|creativity]] skill instead of a unique photography skill.
 
==The Sims 3: World Adventures==

Cameras can be bought at the general store in the [[market]]s of [[Al Simhara]], [[Champs Les Sims]], and [[Shang Simla]]. Different adventure destination has different available camera types. They may also be sold at the [[consignment store]] in ''[[The Sims 3: Ambitions]]''. Cameras are accessible in [[Buy mode]] under [[buydebug]] category, using [[testing cheats]]. Premade foreign Sims of ''World Adventures'' have cameras in their [[inventory]] as well.

The '''SnapTastic Flimsy-Cam''' looks like a cheap disposable camera. It takes the worst quality photos of the three available cameras. Sims can use the SnapTastic to take small portrait sized photographs, but nothing bigger until they hit level 10 of the photography skill; then they can also take panorama sized photos with this camera. This camera has two recolorable channels and appears to feature a llama on the front, possibly a llama wearing boxing gloves. The SnapTastic could also be modeled on a [[toy]] camera to some degree, and intended for [[child]] Sims.

The '''ChannonTec Outlaw SE''' looks like a mid-range compact digital camera (or point and shoot), similar to a Canon Powershot SX130 IS or G12. It takes good photos, but not perfect ones. Sims can use the Outlaw SE to take small portrait and medium landscape sized photograph, but nothing bigger until they hit level 10 of the photography skill; then they can also take panorama sized photos with this camera. This camera has three recolorable channels. For the most part this camera works out most economical to operate, so Sims studying photography should probably start out with this and not the SnapTastic. 'Channon' is a play on the "Canon" camera company, with 'Outlaw' being a reference to their "Rebel" line of cameras.

The '''Hikon QX40di Gladiator''' is a digital single-lens reflex camera, similar to a Nikon D5000 or Nikon D7000. It is the most fully-featured camera in the game. Sims can use the Gladiator to take all available sizes of photographs that their skill level permits. This camera has three recolorable channels for the body, the flash, and the lens. This camera is expensive to run, so best for Sims seeking to really excel in photography, otherwise it may not be profitable. 'Hikon' is a play on the "Nikon" camera company.

==The Sims 4==
Cameras in ''Get to Work'' have a lot more features than in previous series. Cameras can be used to take pictures and selfies, alone or with other Sims. Taking photos has a new interactive interface in which players can give their photos various filters and tones. Players can also change the camera photo size as well as orientation between landscape and portrait. When taking a selfie, the player is able to rotate the Sims to adjust the background used in the portrait.
Cameras used to be exclusive to ''[[The Sims 4: Get to Work]]'', but they were added to the base game in [[The Sims 4/Patch 57|patch 57]]. Most of the functional cameras work [[Lot trait|off-the-grid]], except for the photo studio.
