Digital cameras come of age; secrets of success lie in versatility, simple designs

Article Abstract:

Digital camera sales have steadily risen as users discover the value of the tiny image-capture, film-free cameras as well as their versatility. It is estimated that 1999 shipments have escalated by 32% from those of 1998 figures while sales are expected to climb by 28%.
