Digital photography is the modern and increasingly popular method of capturing images, and of course your memories. Unlike a traditional film camera, a digital camera captures an electronic image which is saved as a digital file on the camera.

The major advantages of digital photography are that the pictures can be viewed immediately after taking them, or later on your computer or laptop. The images can be shared very easily and instantly by email, on a web site, or on an online photo album. In addition, images can be coloured, cropped, changed and manipulated using various software programs to often create more interesting or unique pictures.

Furthermore, the resolution of modern digital images equal that of pictures shot on regular film. In fact, because of the many creative benefits and advantages, many professional photographers now use digital cameras in their work.
