Understanding Digital Camera Categories

Mark Goldstein | Digital | October 12, 2004 | 0 Comments

Different kinds of digital cameras are often classified into different categories, such as “prosumer” and “point and shoot”. If you’re new to the world of photography, understanding what these categories actually mean can be difficult. Photoxels have a comprehensive guide to the various industry cliches that you might encounter.

”“The Point-and-Shoot (P&S) market segment typically wants a digital camera that takes good pictures without having to fiddle with any settings. In fact, the simpler the operation, the better. Point-and-shoot digital cameras tend to be compact and ultra compact, and can therefore be easily carried anywhere.”
