Digital Cameras

Out of all the many types of cameras sold today, the digital camera is the most popular and most sold. Not only are digital cameras able to be bought in their camera-form, but things such as PDA's, mobile phones and even vehicles are able to have a digital camera installed inside. Both film cameras and digital cameras share an optical system - this means, they typically use a lenses with variable diaphragms to focus the light onto an image pickup device. Though, unlike the film camera, the digital is able to display images on screen immediately after being recorded. Also, images can be stored and deleted from the digital memory.

Many digital cameras are able to offer a way of editing images straight away, and things such as cropping tools, saturation and colour boosting options are only some of the many other elementary editing items. Through these editing tools, you can achieve superior image quality and create incredible images. You can move in close to the subject - zoom lenses offer close-ups of your subject with sharp focus and come up with close-up images of flowers, bugs, tree etc. Even in low-light situations, the digital camera has a flexible over-sensitivity and can easily take detailed images in low-light conditions.

These images were taken with a digital camera.

From digital cameras, you can transfer the images onto your laptop/computer and even print them out if you so wish. Images can even be reworked once transferred onto the laptop, and further editing can occur on there.

Not only can digital cameras capture photographs, but they also have the ability to record videos. Sound and good quality can be captured on a digital video.

Personally, I believe digital cameras are the best kind of cameras available. They are not as expensive as other image-taking devices, such as smartphones or iPads and take photos of the same quality. They can easily be carried around when travelling, and there are many options already there for editing and cropping stored images. The memory space on a digital camera is large, and not only are images able to be stored, but as are recorded videos. They are efficient and quick, and provide stunning photos.
