In photojournalism, good hardware can go a long way in helping you capture high-quality images, but someone who can properly use a cellphone camera is just as likely to take great photos as a novice equipped with a top-of-the-line DSLR. Knowing whether you're trying to capture spot news or shooting a photo essay is only half the battle: You also need to know how to use different cameras and which tool is appropriate for which situation.

These days, built-in cameras on cellphones and other portables can flirt with image qualities previously only seen in expensive, high-end devices. So, there are some important distinctions to keep in mind when shopping for your photo-taking tool of choice.

Here is a brief look at some of the most popular forms of digital video- and image-recording devices currently on the market. Though by no means exhaustive, this list will give you a good sense of what your camera can do.

Above, you'll see them in action: CNN photographers went out and snapped some candid pictures to show you each of these types of image-taking instruments and the kinds of pictures you can expect to take with them. Take a look! You might be surprised at what camera took which photo.
