“A picture is worth a thousand words.” A camera helps us do exactly that. A camera helps us capture those memorable moments. These moments are immortalized on a photograph which helps us recollect those happy times. Times have changed and gone are the days when we would have to wait for clicking at least 36 photos before which we could not get the photographs developed into negatives and hardcopies. In fact, hardcopies are being replaced too as they are often subjected to mutilation due to non perseverance. Nowadays, we keep a softcopy or a digital record of these moments which can be easily duplicated and shared.

There is a huge variety of digital cameras available and the budget of the user becomes the deciding factor to make the right selection
