Miniscule Technology - Small Digital Cameras Are Getting Smaller And Smaller

The first digital camera was made in the late 1980’dâ€"but it was nothing like the tiny, compact cameras that we use today. The digital camera has evolved over the years, and now small digital cameras are considered the norm. Currently, inventors have taken small digital cameras to the next level, producing cameras that weigh a mere two ounces!

The size of these cameras might cause one to question the quality of the camera, yet most small digital cameras still have the same features as other digital cameras, if not even more! You can find many different small digital cameras for a wide range of needs and preferences. The key is finding the one that suits your needs!

Small And Cheap

StyleCam’s Blink and Blink II are two of the smallest digital cameras. The Blink II weighs less than two ounces and has a diameter of only 2.4 inches. With only .3 mega pixels, this camera is only $40.

The Blink II has basic features, such as VGA resolution, 8MB of storage, a mode selection, an image counter, a fixed 43mm lens, and a miniscule viewfinder. The camera lacks a flash. Considering the price you pay, the Blink II is a real deal.

Pocket-Sized

If you are aiming for quality, you can still achieve this with a slightly larger digital camera. There are plenty of pocket sized small digital cameras that would suit your needs, such as the Casio Exilim EX-Z3.

This camera, priced at $400, has 3.2 mega pixels and weighs approximately four ounces. In fact, the camera is often compared to a business card because of its small size and sleek design.

The Casio Exilim EX-Z3 has more features than the Blink II, including a Pentax lens, a Multimedia Card slot, a 3X digital zoom, a rechargeable battery, and the ability to both record 30 second video clips with sound. The camera has a built in calendar and can even double as an alarm clock!

Top Notch

For a small digital camera that resembles more of a box, you might want to consider the Fuji FinePix F410. This camera, priced at $500, has 3.1 mega pixels and is approximately 2.8 inches high by 3.3 inches wide by 1 inch deep. It’s still a small camera, but with a whole wealth of additional features to set it apart from other small digital cameras, the FinePix F410 is your best bet if you are an aspiring photographer.

What Will They Think Of Next?

Digital cameras have progressed so far since the late 1980’s. This progress only causes one to anticipate the future improvements and advances that will be made to digital technology.
