A digicam, short for digital camera, is a camera that captures and stores photographs electronically instead of using photographic film like traditional cameras. The term is most usually used for older digital cameras and can be sought after as film camera replacements. Digicams record images using digital technology, typically saving them on a memory card for easy transfer to a computer or other device. These cameras have become increasingly popular due to their convenience, ease of use, and ability to instantly view and share photos.
