Digital Still Camera
What are they?
Digital still cameras are primary used to capture photography in a digital format. Initially, a digital camera was characterized by the use of flash memory for storage of still photographs. Most digital photography cameras have a video function. However, mid-range still cameras have much lower video quality than low-end video cameras. Among digital still cameras, most have a rear LCD for reviewing photographs. They are rated in megapixels; that is, the product of their maximum resolution dimensions in millions. The actual transfers to a host computer are commonly carried out using the USB mass storage device class (so that the camera appears as a drive) or using the Picture Transfer Protocol and its derivatives, in addition firewire is becoming more popular and supported among more digital cameras.
