Digital Camera

Digital Camera

Digital cameras are integrated with a wide range of digital devices, ranging from
personal digital assistants (PDA) and mobile phones to the Hubble and Webb
Space Telescopes. Digital photography is adaptable and compatible with email,
CD/DVD, TV and computer monitors, the Web and may be stored on a PC. Some
digital cameras have a built-in GPS receiver, which is used to produce geotagged
photographs.

Digital photography's key advantage is immediate video and image viewability.
Image editing software is used for cropping, recolouring, contrast/imperfection
adjustment and combining one or more images.

Digital cameras come in an array of sizes, features and prices, including the
following:
 Compact digital camera: Portable, easy to use and small with limited
picture quality. Built-in low-power flash. Images are usually stored as
JPEG files. Also known as a point-and-shoot camera.
 Digital single lens reflex camera (DSLR): Design is based on the single
lens reflex camera. Exclusive viewing system that uses a mirror to reflect
light from the lens via an optical viewfinder.
 Bridge camera: Shares some DSLR advanced features. Uses a fixed lens
with a small sensor - similar to compact digital cameras. Uses live preview
for image framing.
 Mirrorless interchangeable lens camera (MILC): Combines superior
quality sensors with DSLR lenses. Introduced in 2008, the MILC is simple
and compact because of its ergonomic design.
 Line scan camera system: Supports focusing mechanisms and usually
contains a line scan sensor chip. Used by industrial applications to capture
moving material images.

 Integrated camera: Built into multiple digital devices, including mobile
phones, PDAs and laptops.
