digitalkamera

A digitalkamera, or digital camera, is a camera that captures photographs in digital memory. Unlike film cameras that capture images on photographic film, digital cameras use an electronic image sensor. When a photograph is taken, light is directed through the lens onto the sensor. The sensor converts the light into electrical signals, which are then processed and stored as digital data, typically in a memory card.

The image data can be viewed on the camera's built-in screen, transferred to a computer or other device for editing and sharing, and printed. Digital cameras offer several advantages over their film predecessors, including instant image review, the ability to take a large number of photos without changing film, and the ease of editing and manipulating images digitally. They come in various forms, from compact point-and-shoot models to advanced single-lens reflex (SLR) and mirrorless cameras, catering to a wide range of users and photographic needs. The development of the digital camera has revolutionized photography, making it more accessible and versatile.
