Difference between PerspectiveCamera and matrixCamera

i'm trying to create a 3D animation using WPF. To modelize a form i see that we can use PerspectiveCamera or matrixCamera. What's the difference between the both?

Perspective camera makes objects farther away look smaller, like what we see in real life or through a camera zoom lens. You can achieve the same thing using a matrix camera, but you can also do a lot more. The perspective camera and orthogonal camera are both special cases of the more general matrix camera. With a matrix camera, you could create a perspective in one dimension different from the other, like a panorama view. It requires more work than the other camera types to do the same thing, but has more possibilities.
