Types of Digital Cameras...
When it comes time to choose a new digital camera, there is quite a range of
designs, sizes and features to choose from. Pocket sized cameras usually don’t
have all of the features of larger cameras, but they are more convenient to
carry. The best news is that despite their great differences, most cameras will
capture very good image quality, especially when used to create snapshot-
sized prints.Point and shoot cameras usually have fewer controls than other digital cam-
eras but many are also small, bordering on tiny. With a camera that fits into
your pocket, you’re more likely to have it when you need it.The fastest selling point and shoot digital cameras are those built into camera
phones. The problem with these cameras is that their image quality is im-
proving very slowly and doesn’t yet match that of dedicated cameras.Digital photography has already matured to the point where there are one-
time-use point and shoot versions.Camera phone quality
is improving with 10
megapixel models
already available in
some parts of the world.
These cameras may
eventually present real
competition to point
and shoot cameras. This
N95 from Nokia has a 5
megapixel camera and
GPS built-in.
One-time-use cameras
take surprisingly good
pictures and some
even have a monitor on
which you can review
your results.
This old Kodak ad
slogan now applies to
the entire field of digital
photography. With print
kiosks everywhere, it’s
easy to shoot and print
images without using a
computer.
