The digital camera is such a tool, making it a promising technology to sell to state and local police departments. NCIC 2000, the FBI's new criminal database, now supports digital images. If there's a digitized photograph, I can get the image back to me in the police car. It's something my officers will use on and off every day. The resulting crime scene images can be imported into computerized case management systems.
Digital images can include image authentication, ensuring no tampering with evidence photographs.
In all such uses, digital photography is faster and easier to use than conventional photography. It's also more economical, since reusable memory cards replace the waste and cost of expensive instant photography consumables. Designers and Construction Companies Designers and trucking construction companies are excellent markets for digital cameras, since they greatly benefit from the digital camera's power for documentation. Similarly, construction companies can document pleasing home additions and remodeling jobs, and they can easily shoot images of new construction for portfolios and brochures. Work in progress can also be documented, to show that quality materials and techniques were used.
