- jagged-chisel 7mo agoWhat about a reflex camera with a CCD? It’s mechanical in that it moves the mirror out of the way to expose the digital censor. I’d call that a digital camera because the output is digital. ETA: AAMOF, we called them Digital Cameras when they first arrived.
- gonzalohm 7mo agoThe sensor is not mechanical. That's why it is digital
- GJim 7mo agoYour comment has just proven my point!
- gonzalohm 7mo agoBut what's analog then? I don't think it's a misconception. If it's not digital (and film photography isn't) then it's analog. CDs are digital because data is encoded as bits (square wave) that are read digitally. 0 and 1
- hilsdev 7mo agoNo, analog in that they shoot in film, an analog chemical reaction - not digital
