The Hubble Space Telescope, HST, has four cameras - three wide
field (WF) cameras and one planetary camera (PC). Most images from
HST is assembled from images from these four cameras, of which the
PC is in the top right hand corner - that's why images from Hubble
has a staggered appearance in that section of the image. Each
camera uses a CCD that renders 800x800 pixels.

A field camera is a view camera, with limited movements, which
can be folded up into a small size for transport (in the field, get
it!) Toyo is a Japanese manufacturer of field cameras. A "Toyo
Rosewood Field Camera" is a field camera, manufactured by Toyo and
made from rosewood. This is not an expensive camera as field
cameras go, but may be worth several hundred dollars on the used
market.
