digital camera
Definition:
A digital camera is a camera that stores its pictures digitally, usually on a memory card inside the camera. Digital cameras do not use film and the resulting pictures taken with the camera do not need to be developed. Since the pictures are stored digitally on the camera's memory card, the pictures can be transferred directly to a computer by taking the memory card out of the camera and inserting directly into a computer' memory card reader or by connecting the camera to the computer using a USB cable.
Once the digital pictures are on a computer they can be edited (cropped, red-eye removal, etc.) and then emailed as attachments or uploaded to a photo sharing Internet web site. Many local stores including drug stores and grocery stores now allow you to insert your digital camera's memory card directly into a kiosk to instantly receive prints from your digital pictures.
