What are the different types of digital cameras ?
There are a few types of digital cameras but some have many names. Point-and-Shoot cameras are the simplest ones. Prosumer cameras are models with a fixed-lens and advanced controls. DSLRs are relatively large cameras that feature interchangeable lenses and are known for top image quality. SLDs also feature interchangeable lenses but do away with the optical reflex viewfinder to be more compact. Cameras with long zooms are called Ultra-Zooms, while small ones with large zooms are called Travel-Zooms. See Demystifying Digital Camera Types for more detailed information.
