Digital CamerasDigital cameras have revolutionized how we take photographs, print, store, and share them with our world. A digital camera, also known as a digicam, can record not just great pictures, but sound and video clips as well. Capturing memorable moments and reliving them have never been easier. The popularity of digital cameras have pushed the traditional film cameras into the history of photography.
Digital Camera vs. Film Camera Just until a few years ago all we knew was a film camera, specifically the 35mm film camera, that captures images on a photographic film. The film gives you 20 to 36 exposures so you have to be very careful with every single photograph. You don't know how the pictures have come out until you get them developed. And getting film rolls developed is another hassle. It requires you to visit an expert in some photography studio amid prayers for good results, an effort that can easily take weeks if not months if you are a lazy kind. Might be rare but at times the whole film turns out to be a bad one. To much disappointment, no photography science can revive those pictures. Digital cameras erase all these limitations of traditional film cameras. The LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) screen of a digital camera offers an immediate view of what you just captured. With controls that give you the power to easily delete what you don't like. Retake what you don't want to miss. Recent camera models even let you edit on screen. Crop, resize, brighten, and adjust many other things to turn your pictures into glamour shots. Store as many photographs as your memory-card size allows. Newer models will even let you fall back to the internal memory of the camera so you don't have to stop clicking till you get your fresh memory-card. You can comfortably store hundreds of pictures in a standard digital camera memory card. And of course, you can keep as many memory cards in your pocket as you like. The digital camera advantages over the film cameras don't end there. You can download all that you have captured to your personal computer or laptop, using a USB cable that comes with the camera. Once you have got the photographs in your computer, you can do anything (virtually) with them -- use some free software to enhance the photographic images, add borders, create nice albums with memorable notes, upload them to photo sharing sites like Picasa, Flickr, or impress your Orkut and Facebook friends. How to print digital camera pictures? You can print photos yourself, get them printed at a local shop, or order the prints from an online photo printing service provider. The photos taken by a digital camera can be printed by a photo printer. Most of the latest general purpose printers come with a photo printing feature. You can buy a printer and get professional quality photos printed at the comfort of your home. You can also store your photos on to a disk and get them printed at a local shop. Yet another option is to get them printed online by uploading to a photo printing website. Digital Camera Prices You can buy a digital camera spending anywhere between a thousand to lakhs of rupees.
