List of built-in Sitecore Field Types

Question

Sitecore provides a large number of fields out of the box, and while some of them are obvious (Checkbox, Single Line Text, ...) some fields are not obvious by name alone (eg. What is Droplist vs Droplink).

Is there a listing for all the field types built into Sitecore, with an example of how they are rendered within the Content Editor?

Answer 1

I found an older post on Sitecore fieldtypes and the way they are rendered in a blogpost. It's not the complete list, but a starting point:
