Digital photography uses an electronic image sensor to record the image as a set of electronic data rather than as chemical changes on film.
It is rapidly replacing film photography in consumer and professional markets thanks to huge advances in the quality it can now reproduce.
Digital point-and-shoot cameras have become widespread, outselling film cameras, and including new features such as video and audio recording. Many of the major players such as Kodak and Canon have stopped producing 35mm cameras due to a lack of demand from the consumer.
Today's technology has made picture editing and archiving relatively easy for even the novice photographer, and together with image manipulation tools such as Adobe Photoshop users can create artistic variations of photographs or help to show the image become more like it was when viewed in person. |
