Where have Creative Compact Cameras Gone?

These smaller cameras really are not much larger than the compact digital cameras, however they offer more user control. You may find the lenses to be larger, heavier, and of higher optical quality.

Typically all creative compact cameras offer the option of storing images in RAW format, usually proprietary but sometimes in Adobe’s standard DNG format.

You will probably find that a standard JPEG is easiest for uploading images to the Web, sharing with friends, or purchasing prints. Unfortunately you will probably find that a lot of shadow and highlight detail that was originally captured by the sensor can be lost with a standard JPEG.

Using the RAW format, the photographer can use an image editing program through their computer, which can bring out the shadow or highlight detail and make a really great print.

Creative Compact Cameras seems to have gone out of favor and therefore there are not too much to choose from. Camera companies are concentrating their energies on the “SLR-like” category and SLR category
