Digital Cameras – Taking Pictures Will Never be the Same
If you’re like me you probably own one or more film cameras. They have lots of settings to tame and with any luck half your photos will be keepers. You aim at a subject, press a shutter button, and the shutter inside the camera lens opens to expose light to film inside, capturing the image onto the film. You fill up the roll of film, take it to a lab, they develop it, and you have photos! Ok, now you have a digital camera. You aim at a subject, press a shutter button, and the shutter inside if camera lens opens to expose light to a small sensor inside, capturing the image onto a memory card, instead of film. You fill it up, transfer your images to your computer, and can save them, alter them, print them, email them, and more! Even better, you can take your memory card to the local drug store photo lab, and insert them into a machine and you’re your photos in minutes. No longer will money be wasted on photos that don’t print properly.

Benefits of digital photography
The digital age has made photography easier and more convenient. With a digital camera, you’ll experience all the joys of traditional photography plus these benefits:

Save time and money
Digital photography doesn’t require film, so there’s no need for film processing. Instead, pictures are stored in either the camera’s internal memory or on removable digital media. Just transfer your pictures directly from camera to computer. You won’t waste film, because you can view all your photos and erase any you don’t want, even while they’re still in the camera. You can use your computer to crop photos, remove red-eye, add borders and create other special effects. You can also make your own prints at home with a few clicks of the mouse and a photo-quality printer.

Share your photos like never before
Want to email your pictures to friends and family? Interested in posting photos on the Web or creating online photo albums? With a digital camera, you can do all this and more—without the hassle of converting traditional photos into digital form.

Computer System Requirements
Digital cameras are used with personal computers. When you shop for a digital camera, check the list of computer hardware and software it requires to ensure the camera is compatible with your computer.
