Nearly all camera manufacturers have digital cameras on the market. Moreover the demand for professional digital cameras has tremendously increased due to better clarity and instant gratification.

As the name suggest wide angle digital camera provides a wider view of subject. These cameras have a lens which is wider than a normal lens to capture a wider view of the subject. These cameras are prominently used for nature photography. Wide angle digital cameras also provide the necessary depth of the field, so that the photograph doesn't look flat. Suppose you want to capture a mountain view or a terrain view, then wide angle cameras would be suitable to capture the whole area and provide you with essential depth in the photograph to make it appear real and detailed.

Wide angle digital cameras have specific lens measurements and other unique features that enhance its performance. I have listed a few of the features unique to wide angle digital cameras.

Wide angle digital camera have a 28mm lens and have a fast shutter speed. They also have a fast start-up time and user-friendly functions. Wide angle cameras are generally easy to handle and use.

Typically you will find a 28mm-100mm wide zoom which is equivalent to 35mm film camera format on the wide angle camera. The zoom lens gives you a comprehensive 75 degree view which is much better than the 62 degree view provided by conventional 35mm digital cameras. These wider angles, while not providing an actual panorama, allows you to take great photos of landscapes, group photos and other subjects.

The shutter response of these cameras is mere 0.12 seconds and the start up time is just 0.10 seconds. These speeds are extremely fast when compared to analogue wide angle cameras. The speeds ensure that you can capture those fast moving precious movements of life very effectively. Moreover, these cameras are very compact and extremely portable. The weight of these cameras is very light so that they can be handled easily by anyone.

Resolution usually falls between the range of 3.0 to 5.0 megapixels. The higher the resolution the better the images you can capture ensuring your photos are high quality with crystal clear details. With this technology your images will look sharper with robust color even when they are printed out.

The zoom of the wide angle digital cameras is specially designed to bring you closer to the subject. With the availability of a 3.6 optical zoom and 4.4x digital zoom in these cameras, you can capture the tiniest of details of your subject very clearly.

The LCD screen of these cameras is a flat 2 inch color monitor which aims at providing crisper composition of the subject. The cameras are also equipped with the web cam facility and movie mode with sound recording.
