I guess we cam assume this since Colin Himself mentioned that he had to
develop the negatives in a potion in order for them to move:
 
(From Chapter 6, COS, U.S. Version)
"So I can prove I've met you," said Colin Creevey eagerly, edging

further forward. "I know all about you. Everyone's told me. About

how you survived when You-Know-Who tried to kill you and how he

disappeared and everything and how you've still got a lightning scar on

your forehead" (his eyes raked Harry's hairline) "and a boy in my

dormitory said if I develop the film in the right potion, the pictures'll
move."

So, from that statement, I'd say it was an ordinary Muggle camera, and it's
the post-development process that changes the picture...
