A digital camera is a device that takes images and saves them digitally rather than utilizing photographic film, as traditional cameras do. These cameras use a digital optical system, which includes lenses and a digital sensor, to collect the light and color of an image and transform it into digital pixel data that can be saved on memory cards.
