Most 35 mm and smaller (film and digital) cameras use focal plane shutters. They generally consist of a "curtain" that slides across the sensor, briefly exposing it to light and then closing (usually with a second curtain going the same direction) Because they're built in to the camera, they simplify the lenses, and they're pretty reliable. But they have the disadvantage that at high shutter speeds, they can distort motion (because different parts of the sensor are exposed at different times).
