A digital camera is more than just a camera. When you buy a camera these days, you’re actually getting more than what you’re paying for. Like mobile phones, cameras now are multi-functional and capable of multi-tasking. The digital cameras of today allow you to do more with just a few touches of a button or touch screen. So what are these features that make the current breed of digital cameras bigger and better than before? Here’s a short list of what digital cameras can now do.
Fun Digital Camera Features
- Video recording. A lot of digital cameras now have a lot of memory which allows them to record and save video. Most digital cameras still can’t match the quality of a video camera but they’re mostly good enough for a few minutes of video. If you want a camera with this feature, make sure the video recording feature also captures sound.
- Voice recording. Some digital cameras double as a voice recorder that allows you to make voice annotations to your photos. How much audio you can record depends on the amount of memory the camera has. If you’re looking for a digital camera with a voice recorder, try to look for one with built in speakers so you can playback your recordings automatically.
- Webcam. Some digital cameras can easily be used as webcams. When looking for a camera that can double as a webcam, make sure that the camera has the requisite videoconferencing software. It would be better if that camera also has a built-in microphone, so you don’t have to get a separate microphone when making a video call.
- MP3 player. There are some digital cameras that allow you to store and play music and audio files. Most MP3 players in cameras though are really simple and the sound quality isn’t great. If you really need your music, just bring your iPod.
- Alarm clock/World Clock. Time stamps on photos have been around since film cameras. Digital cameras just took it a step further so you can use that clock as an alarm clock or a world clock. Now you have your alarm clock, your phone, and your digital camera to wake you up in the morning.
