About Digital Camera

A digital camera is an electronic device that is used for taking pictures in the form of data, which can be stored on computers or any other hardware devices as opposed to the earlier version of film-based cameras. The digital camera gained popularity by mid-2000s by replacing its predecessor — the film camera. These cameras are also capable of recording videos other than just taking the images. The digital camera is also popularly preferred for their advanced features, such as LCD screen, storage capacity, picture development, size, and Wi-Fi connectivity.

Unlike any film camera, a digital camera can store thousands of pictures and is small and user-friendly. It offers an inexpensive and fast method of taking photos with zero to none effort wasted on the film processing.
