Digital camera or digicam is a type of camera that takes still photographs and/or videos by recording hundreds or even thousands of images on a single small memory device. Meaning, unlike the old type of camera, it enables you to delete, edit or transfer photos because it does not use film.

This mechanism allows you to view shots more clearly and precise. And not only that, you can change the lens of this camera.
