ABSTRACT

Digital cameras don’t use film. Otherwise many of their features – viewfinder, image-forming lens, aperture, flash – are the same or are closely related to film based equipment. In fact several ‘top-end’ (most advanced and expensive) digital cameras have made use of host Nikon or Canon 35 mm SLR bodies. Others take the form of a digital sensor contained in a back replacing the detachable film magazine on a medium format SLR camera or the filmholder on a view camera.
