the market with a camera for every need and has also boosted the number
and variety of digital cameras for sale in India. The choice of digital

photography.

features, cost and screen size. Talking of sizes, cameras range from
extreme of the size of a credit card to 115 gm. On the other hand there
are digital SLRs which weigh more than I km when considered with their

sizes are mostly diagonal which can be measured in inches. Comparisons
between the size and colour of different camera screens are not always

camcorders for amateurs were the predecessors of web cams, which were
initially designed to be attached to computers and used for the purpose
of video conferencing. Web cams are able to shoot full motion videos.

preview digital cameras come with “movie” mode. In these, movies are
continuously taken at a frame rate that is enough for a video.
