The art of composition or putting the picture together in the viewfinder can make the difference between a good picture and a bad one!

But, like the analog camera, digital cameras are also designed with a system of lenses to focus light and create the image you wish to capture. Among their many differences is the transfer of image from light. Digital cameras focuses light on a semiconductor and records light in electronic form, and analog ones focuses light on film. The built-in computer in a digital camera breaks this light into digital data made possible by all the features of the digital camera. Read more
