even the most dedicated in the trade. But now, it has breathed new life into
photography showing the power of one moment captured in time.
Digital photography utilizes digital technology to make
images of subjects and does not need chemical based processing. The images can
be captured, displayed, stored, transmitted, manipulated and recorded with the
aid of a computer.

1990 and the first consumer camera with liquid crystal display on the back in
1995 this camera has brought speed, accuracy, enhanced imaging and many moments
of happiness for both professional photographers as well as amateurs alike.

photographer. Immediate image review, deletion, lighting and composition
management are among the main plus points. Conservation of storage space and
