Digital Camera Information

Executive Summary By Len Cecchetto

Digital Camera Software
Most of the software is designed for digital camera users, compatible with most current digital camera models.

Image
The image sensor employed by most digital cameras is a charge coupled device (CCD). Easy-to-understand information about digital cameras, accessories, image editing and more. Image quality depends on the resolution of the digital camera.

To make image files smaller almost every digital camera uses some form of compression. With an image stabilizer, this digital camera produces clear, even images even in shaky conditions. The image quality available from digital cameras is astonishingly good.

Film
Add an external or speed light flash to your digital camera or film camera. Many digital cameras are comparable to a 35 mm camera in price without the extra added cost of buying or developing film. Is considering laying off the development of new film cameras as it focuses resources on its digital camera business. Whether you're using film or a digital camera, bring a sturdy tripod. Shooting with a digital camera is somewhat like shooting slide film.

Quality
You'll find quality brands of digital cameras, 35mm cameras, lenses, video cameras, memory cards and camera accessories at great prices. Many retailers advertise their best buy digital camera as one with a plastic lens. There's never been a better time to buy a digital camera. Find discount computers, cheap digital camera, buy digital cameras.

Size
Experienced digital camera users know pixel size isn't everything. For digital SLR cameras with interchangeable lenses it's more difficult as different cameras have different size sensors. Classification Digital cameras can be classified into several groups: Video cameras Professional video cameras such as those used in television and movie production.

Some digital cameras have direct video out..... SD is now the most popular type of digital camera memory. Many types of memory cards are available for use with your digital camera.

Digital Camera Basics

Executive Summary By Joel Taylor

Digital Camera Basics... Pixels
Digital images are composed of thousands or millions of tiny squares called picture elements, or pixels for short. Basically, the term megapixel means one million pixels, and it is used to describe the maximum number of pixels found in an image produced by a digital camera. More megapixels do not necessarily equal better images, they mean larger images (both in physical size and in file size).

All it means is that the maximum image size of the CX7525 is 2560 x 1920 and the maximum image size of the LS743 is 2408 x 1758. Larger image size may do nothing for a user who only wants to view images on his computer screen, or for use on the web, but the higher megapixel images are important for those looking to make prints of their images. Generally, higher pixel counts in an image translate to the ability to create larger prints.

Digital cameras use a small sensor to capture the image before transferring it to flash memory for storage. CMOS sensors are usually found in cheaper cameras and offer lower image quality than a CCD sensor that would probably be found in a more expensive camera.

Zoom - Optical and Digital
The quality of images produced using digital zoom suffer due to the nature of the process, and optical zoom is a far more desirable feature.

The price of a camera with optical zoom may be a good deal more than one with digital zoom, but the quality of the images cannot be compared. The Kodak CX7330 and the Kodak CX7300 are comparable cameras in many regards, but the CX7300 features only digital zoom, while the CX7330 features both optical and digital zoom for about $30 more.

Aspect Ratio
Aspect ratio describes the shape of a digital image, or any image for that matter, where the first number represents the width of the image and the second number represents the height. Standard film cameras generally use an aspect ratio of 3:2, but most digital camera(s) have adopted a 4:3 aspect ratio so that images better fit on a standard computer monitor.

Connectivity
In general, cameras provide a cable to connect to a computer either via serial, USB, USB 2.0, or Firewire. Some specialized cameras may take advantage of the high speed Firewire protocol for connecting to a computer.
