Today almost all camera companies have launched their digital cameras in the market. Moreover the demand for professional digital cameras has tremendously increased following their better clarity and durability. To be more specific, the launch of wide angle digital cameras has greatly benefited the nature lovers and professional nature photographers.

As the name suggest wide angle digital camera provides a wider view of subject. These cameras have a lens which is wider than a normal lens to capture a wider view of the subject. These cameras are prominently used for nature photography. Wide angle digital cameras also provide the necessary depth of the field, so that the photograph doesn't look flat. Suppose you want to capture a mountain view or a terrain view, then wide angle cameras would be suitable to capture the whole area and provide you with essential depth in the photograph to make it appear real and detailed.

Wide angle digital cameras have specific lens measurements and other unique features that enhance its performance. I have listed a few of the features unique to wide angle digital cameras.

Wide angle digital camera have a 28mm lens and have a fast shutter speed. They also have a fast start-up time and user-friendly functions. Wide angle cameras are generally easy to handle and use.

Typically you will find a 28mm-100mm wide zoom which is equivalent to 35mm film camera format on the wide angle camera. The zoom lens gives you a comprehensive 75 degree view which is much better than the 62 degree view provided by conventional 35mm digital cameras. These wider angles, while not providing an actual panorama, allows you to take great photos of landscapes, group photos and other subjects.

Shutter response in wide angle cameras is mere 0.12 seconds and start up time is only 0.10 seconds. These speeds are extremely fast when compared to analogue wide angle cameras and allow nature enthusiasts to capture the quick movements of their favorite subjects. Furthermore, these cameras are incredibly compact and extremely portable. They are typically light which ensures that nearly anyone can easily use them.

Resolution usually falls between the range of 3.0 to 5.0 megapixels. The higher the resolution the better the images you can capture ensuring your photos are high quality with crystal clear details. With this technology your images will look sharper with robust color even when they are printed out.

The zoom feature on the wide angle digital cameras is designed to bring you closer to the subject. You can quickly capture the tiniest of details of your subject very clearly with the availability of a 3.6 optical zoom and 4.4x digital zoom.

You can usually expect a 2" LCD screen which provides a crisper composition of the subject. Most of the cameras come equipped with a webcam and movie mode that includes sound recording.

Wide angle digital cameras work with your computer and you can transfer images from your camera to your computer using a USB cable. Most cameras come equipped with PictBridge compatibility. The cameras come with software for image enhancement and fast image transfer rate.
