Analog in the sense that they are mechanical objects. I have never heard of analog CDs. Analog would be vinyl

No, analog in that they shoot in film, an analog chemical reaction - not digital

What about a reflex camera with a CCD? It’s mechanical in that it moves the mirror out of the way to expose the digital censor. I’d call that a digital camera because the output is digital.

ETA: AAMOF, we called them Digital Cameras when they first arrived.
