The term 'view camera' refers to any camera which projects its image for
viewing directly on a ground glass and (usually) has some capability for
camera movements such as shifts, tilts, and swings. A field camera is
on kind of view camera which folds up for convenient carrying in the
field. There is usually a fixed back and the front standard racks back
and forth on a bed which is closed when transporting the camera and
opened during use. Many field cameras are made of wood, but others are
made of light metal or combinations of metal and wood.
The other common kind of view camera is the 'monorail', which has a rail
to which both standards are attached and both standards can be moved
back and forth. Monrails are usually (but not always) somewhat heavier
than field cameras and designed to be used in a fixed location such as a
studio. Monorails generally allow for more extensive movements than a
typical field camera.
However, real view cameras often employ unique designs which depart one
way or another from the above descriptions. For example, my Toho
FC-45X is in principle a monorail camera, but it is one of the lightest
cameras around, and it comes apart readily for easy transportation in
the field.
There are also view cameras called 'technical cameras'. These are
similar to field cameras except the are made of metal, may have a
rangefinder and differ in other ways from a typical field camera.
I enjoyed the response, troll notwithstanding. I still have my 4 x 5 Crown
Graphic from 1963 and just recently sold my Toyo view. I miss film photogra[hy
in away. Did many how to promo videos for Beseler, Ilford, Konica, and Omega. I
spend a few hours a week "retouching" digital photos each week (for website). I
would have spent 20 hrs a week with transparencies and/or prints. I even used
to retouch b & w 4 X 5 negs with pencil and the vibrating holder - forget the
name.
anyway, thanks for memory lane.

True, but the question was good and maybe the answers were helpful to
other readers than Mr. Asshole. Cross-posting is unforgivable, though. I
just wonder how (s)he'll reply...

cross posting doesn't mean they're a troll, moron.

You guys should know better, this individual is almost certainly a troll.
The "clue" is the cross post and the monicker.

One is a view camera and the other is a field camera.

Likewise,....it takes one to know one. Your moniker says it all.
Those such as your brainless self should know when to keep
silent.
