Digital cameras:

Digital cameras may not yet have captured the imagination of the consumer market (although most photographic retail outlets stock them), but with enhanced image resolution made possible by recent developments, and price falls they will take an increasing slice of the market over the next few years. Market research indicates that the digital camera market in the USA will grow from US$240 million in 1997 to US$ 930 by the end 2004. Europe, too, will see a dramatic increase in this market, although spending on cameras has fallen steadily over the past few years. This article takes a brief look at how a digital camera works.
