Digital cameras is a new technology inventions and because of its small size it can be taken anywhere and can be used to take as many photos as you like without worrying about developing them.

Everyone should have a digital camera because:

• you can see taken pictures straight away

• you can delete unwanted pictures straight away

• memory card holds more photos than a film

• Quicker to develop

• Can use just one memory card instead of buying new film each time

• memory cards can be easily got with large sizes

• Reliability of Electronic storage

• Ability to edit pictures before they are printed out

Pictures that are taken are first loaded from camera to computer. Then they can be saved on CD/DVD/MP3/USB afterwards and printed, emailed or shared online.

Photos can be also edited (e.g. cropped, enlarged, changed in colour etc) using photo shop computer programmes.

Digital cameras can also be used for,

• Recording housing modifications

• capturing events that is needed for future references

Digital cameras can be bought almost any where and they are very easy to use, alhough, when purchassing one there are many factors that should be considered such as the pixel size and how large the optical zoom is.

Manufacturers categorize their digital cameras in terms of pixel count. That is the number of individual pixels that go into making each image. Today this number varies between 1 million (1 Megapixel) to around 14 million (14 Megapixels). A million pixels is abbreviated to MP, so a 1MP camera has 1 million pixels and a 3MP camera has 3 million pixels. Currently most popular consumer digital cameras have between 2MP and 5MP. A 3MP camera can make excellent 4"x6" prints and very good 5"x7" prints. If you intend to make lots of 8"x10" prints, then perhaps a 4MP or 5MP camera would be a better choice.

Usually the very edge pixels aren't used in the final image. Effective pixels are the number of pixels actually used in the image after the edge pixels have been dropped.

Due to the extensive online access now, a digital camera is a best friend as our pictures can be easily uploaded into any site or even online storage system.
