There have been many types of cameras that take stereo images, most of which are no longer manufactured. The most notable types are:

* [[Jules Richard (photographer)|Jules Richard Verascope]], 1893.
* [[Kodak Stereo Camera]] – Kodak's own offering in the field of Realist format cameras which actually outsold the Realist during the five years it was available and might have eclipsed it in all time sales had it been introduced prior to the end of 1954.
* [[Loreo]] 3D Lens in a Cap (Hong Kong), an accessory device, which incorporates a pair of small closely spaced lens, and a simple mirror box as an attachment for many  modern SLR digital cameras. The latest version has 25mm wider angle lenses. Loreo also makes currently, a cross-view 35mm film only, 3D CAMERA, (model 321) which takes "deeper" stereo images, with a wider mirror system, sold with a folding print viewer included.
* [[Nimslo|Nimslo 3D]] – The first compact consumer level lenticular camera, designed to take 3D prints that are viewable without glasses or special technique. Though it didn't "catch on" and was soon discontinued, it inspired many 3 and 4 lens clones marketed well into the 1990s.
* RBT – In the modern 3D world, a several thousand dollar RBT camera was made in Germany by rebuilding two 35mm high end cameras into an integrated and unitized stereo camera. RBT announced the discontinuation of the cameras on January 1, 2011.<ref>{{cite journal|journal=Stereoworld|title=Discontinuation of RBT cameras|volume=36|date=2011|pages=2, 26–27}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rbt-3d.de/ |title=RBT-Raumbildtechnik GmbH |website=Rbt-3d.de |access-date=2016-06-05}}</ref>
* [[Stereo Realist]] – The original "Realist Format" camera, first sold in 1947, which inspired many imitators who introduced cameras capable of producing the 5P stereo slides which remain fairly popular to this day.
* [[Stereocrafters - Videon]] – The Videon is a 35mm stereo camera comprising a bakelite-type plastic body with metal top and bottom plates, produced by Stereocrafters of Wisconsin, USA, in the 1950s. It made 16 stereo pairs on 20-exposure 35mm film.
* [[View-Master Personal Stereo Camera]] – Introduced in 1952, this camera allowed individuals to make their own personal View-Master reels, either by using the commercial processing services available at the time or by using the custom cutter and blank reel mounts.
* [[Fujifilm FinePix Real 3D W1]], a digital stereo camera.

Since 2014, computer vision developments and increasing embedded [[GPU]] computing power have opened up new applications for stereo cameras. These can be used to calculate a [[depth map]] through advanced [[image processing]] techniques. In April 2015, Intel has revealed a camera that can fit in a smartphone to serve various depth sensing applications such as changing the focus of a photo after it has been taken, 3D scanning and gesture control.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-32215577 |title=Intel RealSense 3D depth camera fitted into smartphone |date=8 April 2015 |publisher=BBC News |access-date=2016-06-05}}</ref>
