Now users can enjoy all the advantages of digital photography without the need for a computer. The system consists of a digital camera and a photo viewer that enables people to take, view, edit and archive photos. The operational structure of the digital camera and the picture viewer is identical, making both easy to understand and operate. The camera and the picture viewer both allow for a flip function that protects the displays and the lens. To transfer data the camera has to be inserted into the picture viewer, which also serves as a transport solution.
