Everyone loves photographs. Everyone takes them, everyone shares them, and every looks at them. And of course, we all visit social networking sites that show off our friend's pictures as well. Today, everyone seems to want to chronicle their lives whenever they can. This is where slim digital cameras come into the picture.
Technology has improved to the point where camera lenses are getting smaller and smaller, but not only that. Every single piece of the cameras are in fact shrinking, which is not necessarily a bad thing. Memory is also getting smaller as it grows in capacity, and shrinks in price. This technology is making its way to the consumer in many ways, one of the most popular is the digital camera. With so many people wanting to capture moments in their lives, and at the same time stay busy and active, no one wants to have to lug around a heavy, large camera. Especially a heavy, large camera with the carrying bag it comes with, and extra batteries, USB cables, extra memory cards and power adapters.
Convenience is king, and consumers want cameras that they can fit just about anywhere. While before smaller meant more expensive, these days it doesn't necessarily work out that way. In modern times we are now seeing the prices are not much different for slim digital cameras than they are for larger models. One common issue with the first slim models to emerge, was the smaller your camera became, the smaller LCD screen that was equipped. Like all the other technology involved in cameras, from lenses to memory, liquid-crystal display technology has also seen a dramatic increase in performance with a decrease in cost. So now we have slim digital cameras with LCDs as large as 3.2" -- the same size, and in some cases larger, than their bulkier counterparts.
All the slim digital cameras keep the features they had when they were 'big': digital and optical zoom, red-eye removal, face detection -- and they have all of this while being markedly smaller. They also have more built-in hard drive space, to sizes up to 8 to 16 gigabytes in only a few years. Some memory cards are SO small that you have to nest them inside a larger adapter to fit into a desktop or laptop PC. Even with their tiny size these cards can store upwards of 8GB comfortably.
The world is busy with work, and busy with taking pictures. It just seems that everything really is shrinking in size, and slim digital cameras with decent-sized LCD screens are a testament to that. You can put these cameras in your pocket and forget all about them, which is a far cry from having to lug around older cameras and pay them mind constantly. Think of it sort of like the transformation of cell phones over the past few years. They are fully-functional, high quality digital cameras with the same features as larger cameras. And it won't even make you break out into a sweat over the costs. These cameras can truly go anywhere! - 30452
