How many pictures your digital camera can take is governed by resolution and memory. Memory cards aren't cheap, which makes Sony's floppy concept a great idea. The best cameras can store a hundred pictures or more and even record some sound to go with them Optics. They're great for small groups or landscapes, but like their film cousins fall down on the really grand shots. Better models have zoom lenses ranging from wide-angle to short telephoto that can produce better portraits and landscapes.
Most cameras have a built-in automatic flash, which is nice.
A lovely convenience feature is the abovementioned liquid crystal display screen, which lets you second guess your work. On some models, the LCD takes the place of the viewfinder. This lets you see exactly what you're shooting, but tends to wash out in bright sunlight. TechnoFILE is copyright and a registered trademark of Pandemonium Productions.
