CAMERAS/ CAMCORDERS: Overview
Over the last few years, digital cameras have become more and more sophisticated enabling many advanced features including noise filtering, instant red-eye removal, high-quality prints extracted from video, image and video stabilization, in-camera editing of pictures and wireless transmission of photos. Digital Cameras take real world analog and convert it to digital information through the use of image sensors and processors. Integrated memory and connectivity modules allow easy sharing of digital images via Internet and cellular networks. Battery management devices allow colorful LCD displays and longer operation.
