Walking in the Disneyland, I was not surprised to see so many people came to this famous park on this holiday. “Sir, could you take a picture for my family?” “Sure!” Holding his digital camera, I was surprised to find it was same as mine. What a coincidence! After taking picture for them, I looked around and found that almost every group carried a camera, exactly digital camera! Then I smiled and realized that there were no more than one thousand kinds of digital cameras in the world while millions people were using them! It was nothing to be surprised at the coincidence. Nowadays, digital camera is widely used because of its advantages. Many people believe that digital cameras are much more convenient and fashionable than traditional cameras.
The most important advantage of digital camera is that it can be directly connected with computer, television and printer. It makes people to prefer keeping pictures in computers to keeping them in roll films. Pictures from digital camera can be preserved in computers as data and can be uploaded into websites so that they can be shared on the internet. People also can email the pictures to their friends without printing them out. Even if people want to print them out, pictures can be printed directly through printers at home, without carrying camera to a developing and printing shop.
The second advantage of digital camera is that it preserves pictures in memory card while traditional camera keeps pictures in roll film. Because of the memory cards, digital cameras can be used as a small computer when people are outside. People can check the pictures as soon as they take the pictures. Depending on the capability of the memory cards, people can take much more pictures in digital camera than traditional camera. A 512M memory card, for instance, allows people to take hundreds high-definition pictures. But a roll film just allows people to take 30 to 50 pictures. The advantage of its convenience is conspicuous.
Another advantage of digital camera is that people can also take short videos on the digital camera. Since it keeps the data on memory card, it has enough capability to record a short video that could not be recorded down on traditional camera. In many cases such as attending a birthday party, people would like to take a short video instead of taking many pictures. Then digital camera will make it possible to record the important or wonderful moments down without a video camera.
In conclusion, digital camera has so many prevalent advantages that it is very popular in the world. Giving people more convenience than traditional cameras, digital cameras have already been an integral part in our lives.
