6 sentences, and a couple could go either way.

  Comments:
My impression is that this refers to photographers far more often than it does (video) camera operators. A web search appears to confirm that.
Given that "cameraman" only refers to the latter, I think it might be better to have two senses (like the kokugos).

Not 3 senses - they all involve a camera. An entry for "driver" would not have different senses for cars, buses, trains, etc.

More senses – esp. used for photographer, which is rather different from “cameraman” (video camera operator)
