Still Cameras

[technoguy]

Digital still cameras are cameras whose primary purpose is to capture photography in a digital format. Initially, a digital camera was characterized by the use of flash memory and USB or FireWire for storage and transfer of still photographs (though some early cameras used a serial port connection), and this is still the common meaning of the unadorned term. Many modern digital photography cameras have a video function, and a growing number of camcorders have a still photography function. However, even a low-end still camera can take far better still pictures than a mid-range video camera, and mid-range still cameras have much lower video quality than low-end video cameras.
