| The rate at which
digital cameras are developing, with new models coming on to the market,
with ever more features at reasonable prices, makes it very difficult to
maintain this page. Digital cameras are also becoming smaller and smaller.
This is not necessarily helpful for young children, and schools should
think about the users of a camera, and consider:- robustness, the size of
buttons, ease of grip etc as well as the technical features. Most digital
still cameras will also take small amounts of video film, which can be
very usefully inserted into PowerPoint presentations. |
