Article Abstract:
Digital cameras that are being launched in the market are completely different from those introduced in 1998. For one, their performance has become remarkably sophisticated. The new models have CCDs having up to two million pixels and are lightweight, stylish, compact and less expensive. They also have shutter improvements enabling rapid sequential recording, optical zoom mechanisms and fine-resolution lenses.

Digital cameras come of age; secrets of success lie in versatility, simple designs
Article Abstract:
Digital camera sales have steadily risen as users discover the value of the tiny image-capture, film-free cameras as well as their versatility. It is estimated that 1999 shipments have escalated by 32% from those of 1998 figures while sales are expected to climb by 28%. The drop in compact film camera production in the first half of 1999 is attributed to the rising sales of digital cameras.
