What is a "digital camera"?
A digital camera is a device that captures and stores images electronically rather than using film. It uses an image sensor to record light and convert it into digital data, which is then saved on a memory card. Digital cameras come in various styles, including compact, mirrorless, and DSLR, and they offer features such as adjustable settings, image preview, and easy sharing of photos. They are popular for their convenience, image quality, and the ability to instantly review and edit images.
