Digital cameras have some very useful features that are present even in the budget models. In contrast, before the era of digital photography, some of these features were found in professional film cameras, some not ever there.

Probably the most useful feature is the ability to see what your photo looks like, right after taking the shot. Most handheld digital cameras have a small LCD screen for this purpose. This allows you to quickly spot your mistakes and take a new photo if the first one was not a great success.

The other useful features include timers that allow you to photograph yourself, macro modes for close-up shots and night-shot modes for easier exposure control. These features are these days present in almost all budget cameras. Most cameras also offer other helpful additions, most of which work automatically with little if any input required from the user.

The downside is that nowadays only the top notch digital cameras allow the user to bypass all automated features and modify settings themselves. This is not very important for the casual hobbyist photographer, but professionals and enthusiasts need to invest into a real camera.
