Digital still: there are so many things to discuss about these cameras!

Digital still is the term Eme has chosen to describe this category. It could have been called digital camera or digital cameras however we believe the word ‘still’ differentiates it from other types of digital cameras such as video and 35mm. The old, but honored, 35mm format cameras set the foundation of support for today’s current cameras and help in focusing what is important to have in a digital camera.
 

Digital cameras have changed so much over the past few years that today’s version from where they began is very different

New technology, allowing 8 mega pixels and more in digital chips, and up to a 12 times optical zoom, provide photographers all the benefits of a SLR system in a compact camera. Large LCD monitors provide even more enjoyment for the photo enthusiast and a movie mode, usually with audio; provide instant gratification at birthdays, family gatherings and kids sporting events.

New terms such as JPEG, mega pixel, LCD and media cards are becoming common every day words. We are evolving with the new age and embracing its technology. However, change usually comes with a little education and self discovery. Sometimes we find ourselves learning new ways from our friends, co-workers and yes, even our kids, quietly thanking their support in assisting our understanding.

Companies like Nikon, Canon, Sony, Panasonic and Kodak, Fujifilm, Konica Minolta (and the list goes on), have also embraced the new technology and challenge each other in developing the next latest and greatest advantage of using a digital camera. The most important thing though, is to go out and take pictures. That is the end result and where all your precious memories will be stored.

Enjoy your pictures!
