A digitaalikamera, or digital camera, is a camera that captures photographs in digital memory. Unlike a film camera, which records images on photographic film, a digital camera uses an electronic image sensor to capture the image. This image sensor is typically a CCD (charge-coupled device) or CMOS (complementary metal-oxide semiconductor) sensor. The captured image data is then stored as a digital file, commonly in formats like JPEG or RAW, on removable memory cards or internal storage.

Digital cameras have become ubiquitous, ranging from simple point-and-shoot models to sophisticated professional DSLRs (digital single-lens reflex) and mirrorless cameras. They offer numerous advantages over their film predecessors, including the ability to preview images immediately after capture, delete unwanted shots, and store a large number of photos without changing film. Image editing and sharing are also significantly simplified. The resolution of digital cameras is measured in megapixels, indicating the number of pixels that make up the image. Higher megapixel counts generally allow for larger prints and more detailed images. Modern digital cameras also incorporate features like video recording, image stabilization, and various shooting modes to enhance user experience and creative control.
