Lens
Another important part of the digital camera is the lens, no matter how good the rest of the camera is, if it has a poor lens it wont take good pictures. Modern digital cameras might come with zoom lenses, which allows you to adjust the length of the lens to either move closer to the object or further away.

Digital cameras usually come with two types of zoom on them.

• The first is the optical zoom which is identical to that found on traditional cameras. When using optical zoom, you can get closer to a particular object without any sacrifice in image quality.

• Digital zoom, however, is a new type of zoom that is found only in digital cameras. When using digital zoom, the camera itself modifies the image electronically to bring the object you are photographing closer to you.
