This week we will cover low cost hand-held digital cameras. Digital cameras can be used by estate agents to put pictures of their listings online or sending their customers pictures by e-mail. Insurance claims adjusters can document claims and send the information immediately to their home office by e-mail. Newspaper reporters can cover stories in the same way. Webpage builders can produce a webpage complete with pictures at the customer site without waiting for film to be developed.
Consumers can use digital cameras to share images with family and friends who are on the Internet.
Using a digital camera is just like using a film camera. The major difference is that there is no sound of the shutter clicking or the film winding and no film to buy. Some cameras allow you to turn on a beep to let you know the picture has been snapped. If you have to, you can take the picture over and over again until it is right. You can also discard any picture you don't like.
