digikaamerad

A digikaamera, or digital camera, is a camera that captures photographs in digital memory. Unlike film cameras, which record images on photographic film, digital cameras use an electronic image sensor to capture and store images.

The core component of a digikaamera is its image sensor, typically a CCD (charge-coupled device) or CMOS (complementary metal-oxide semiconductor) chip. This sensor converts light that passes through the lens into electrical signals. These signals are then processed by the camera's internal electronics and stored as a digital file, usually in formats like JPEG or RAW, onto a memory card.

Digikaamerad come in a wide variety of types, from compact point-and-shoot models for casual users to advanced digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) and mirrorless cameras favored by professionals and enthusiasts. Features vary greatly, including resolution (measured in megapixels), zoom capabilities, autofocus systems, video recording options, and connectivity features like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

The development of digikaamerad revolutionized photography by making it easier to capture, view, edit, and share images. The immediate feedback provided by the digital screen eliminates the need for film processing, and the ability to delete unwanted shots reduces waste. This accessibility has contributed to the widespread adoption of digital photography.
