taking a digtial photograph

Digital cameras are the latest way for you to take and keep your photographs in a compact, safe and stylish way, coming in compact and SLR (a more professional style) versions. Digital cameras use an electronic sensor to transform your picture in to electronic data, in comparison to the older and more traditional model which process their data on to a film. Most modern digital cameras, while still not up to the standard of a camcorder, have the capabilities to record film with sound which are particularly suitable for sending via email.

  • Digital SLR cameras have large image-sensors that produce high-quality photos
  • An SLR has a near-zero lag time, and is ideal for action photography

Compact Camera

Compact Camera

  • Point-and-shoots (compact cameras) come in a wide variety of configurations, from simple fixed focus models to full-featured, auto focus, zoom and multi-program versions that come close to SLR performance.
  • The majority of compact cameras have Auto Film Load which means film automatically loads rather than having you manually wind the roll to the first frame.
  • Autofocus automatically adjusts the lens for the clearest picture. Without autofocus, you may have trouble taking "close-up" pictures.
