6. Features of digital cameras

The reason that digital cameras have largely replaced the old film cameras is they offer many additional features. These include

  • Can preview images and decide whether to keep them or not
  • Costs nothing to take extra pictures
  • Can store hundreds or even thousands of photos in the camera with the right memory card
  • Easier to take well-exposed and in-focus pictures as the camera may have advanced automatic computer control of its settings.
  • Can upload the images to either print or import into a photo imaging application
  • Simple to make corrections to some common image problems such as 'red-eye' with flash photography.
  • Can add extra information to the image such as geo-location and comments
  • Can upload the images directly to photo-sharing sites or email them.
  • Digital photos can be displayed at home using electronic picture frames.
  • Can use a colour printer to produce a photo which is much quicker than the old way of sending them away to be processed.
  • Images can be stored permanently on a DVD or CD
  • Camera can be used to also record video
