Electronic Products is an electronic component and technology trade magazine published by Hearst Business Media serving the electronic

design community. Reaching over 120,000 electronic engineers (EEs) and others in the trade across the United States in print and over twice that number online worldwide, Electronic Products is one of the leading trade publications in its category. Electronic Products' editorial sections provide information on new products from the smallest capacitor to the brightest light-emitting diode(LED). In addition, featured articles range from selecting the best components to fill an application need to the latest in developing electronics technology. The editorial is rounded out with application-specific product sections and transcripts of discussion roundtables on subjects frommedical to military electronics. A digital camera (or digicam) is a camera that takes video or still photographs, or both, digitally by recording images via an electronicimage sensor. It is the main device used in the field of digital photography. Most 21st century cameras are digital.[1]

Digital cameras can do things film cameras cannot: displaying images on a screen immediately after they are recorded, storing thousands of images on a single small memory device, and deleting images to free storage space. The majority, including most compact cameras, can record moving video with sound as well as still photographs. Some can crop and stitch pictures and perform other elementary image editing. Some have a GPS receiver built in, and can produceGeotagged photographs.

The optical system works the same as in film cameras, typically using a lens with a variablediaphragm to focus light onto an image pickup device. The diaphragm and shutter admit the correct amount of light to the imager, just as with film but the image pickup device is electronic rather than chemical. Most digicams, apart from camera phones and a few specialized types, have a standard tripod screw. Digital cameras are incorporated into many devices ranging from PDAs and mobile phones (calledcamera phones) to vehicles. The Hubble Space Telescope and other astronomical devices are essentially specialized digital cameras.
