Chapter 2. Digital Cameras

There is an adage that “the devil is in the details” and if you want proof, start listing the features available in a state-of the art digital camera. By the time you are done you’ll find a list of hundreds of features, big and small. Some affect the way you interact with the camera, some determine what kinds of things you can do with it, and a few determine the quality of the images you capture. In this chapter we go through the possibilities item by item so you better understand the features of the camera you have or select those you for the next camera you intend to buy.
