In the year 2001, digital cameras charged into the market as the latest invention in photography equipment. Consumers gladly accepted and loved this new invention which allowed all people to enter the field of basic photography. Picture taking has become extremely easy when this revolutionary device came out.

Before technology was as advanced as it is today, people had to settle for cameras that require rolls of film to take pictures. The problem with this method of photography is that it took too much time to do and the work was very tedious. In order to print out a picture, one must first get the negatives and develop them into clear photos that can be printed out. This procedure probably took a week or so to complete.

With a digital camera, picture taking is very simple. One just needs to take a picture which would automatically be stored inside the memory of the camera or inside a memory card. That makes it better for photographers because instead of having to deal with the negatives which could get spoiled or lost in an instant, they would have a soft copy of the picture that they could refer back to anytime that they want.

Now with regard to deleting, one may delete any picture that he does not like anytime he wants. All he has to do is select a picture and press the erase button. Unlike an old camera where all shots have to be good so that none of the film gets wasted, digital camera users do not need to worry about memory getting wasted. If the user took a bad shot, he can always just take another one.

Another advantage the digital camera has is that its pictures can also be stored into a computer where it can be edited. If one would want to make a photo larger, a different color, or have different effects, he may do it with programs found in computers. All he has to do is connect the camera to the computer and transfer the files.

When the files are stored in the computer or desktop, the photographer may have the option to print it out so he can keep the photo in his album. All he needs is a working printer and some photo paper. He just has to select the picture that he would want to print out and click the print option. The picture will then come out in the photo paper and will look exactly like the photos that one would get from a regular camera.

Another great function that the digital camera has is that it can even take videos. So basically, this device has a dual function of a camera and a video recorder. This is something that the old cameras did not have at all.

Digital cameras are one of the best inventions that sprung out in this very decade. It is extremely simple to use and makes the art of photography accessible to anyone who wants to learn. With this great invention, one does not need to know the complicated and delicate process of handling a roll of film anymore.
