Digital Photography in Action (1,105 words)

Digital camera backs, which were heavy and bulky, are now more like standard camera backs. Original systems also used heavy cables to hook up to a nearby PC. Now these systems use either lighter-weight cables that can move with the camera, or on-camera storage.

A novelty no more, digital photography is here as a quality-enhancing, time-saving alternative to film photography. The following manufacturers provide most of the digital systems used by professional photographers: Leaf, Phase One, Sinar Bron, Kodak and Megavision.
