Digital cameras are durable. They don’t wear out, and they seldom fail. Why is there so much interest in recycling them? It comes down to technical obsolescence.
Nikon came out with the first digital camera in 1986. At that time, digital photography was all about taking a picture and seeing the results immediately. From that moment, the race for digital camera supremacy was on. The competition was and still is fierce in several areas:
- Highest resolution (megapixels)
- Best Color
- Highest digital zoom (computer)
- Highest optical zoom (lenses)
- Fastest shutter
- Best standard, time-lapse, slow-motion, and live videos
- Special effects
Some people look at the current camera features and upgrade because they want the latest and greatest technology available. What’s interesting, however, is that many people who update their cameras don’t use them very often. To them, the camera is merely a seldom-used accessory on their smartphone or tablet.
Digital Cameras Are Indispensable to American Businesses
Big business is finally catching on. As the adage says, a picture is worth a thousand words. Sometimes, it is worth more. Whether the camera is in the hands of your road warriors or a manager in the plant, it can be a critical problem-solving and information-gathering tool.
Most corporations provide their higher-level employees with laptop computers, enabling them to be productive away from their desks. Many also give cameras or smartphones to improve their connectivity and communication capabilities. With such devices, they can send a picture or video anywhere in the world in a matter of seconds.
When it comes to corporate cameras, you can never have too many megapixels or features. In the past, technicians would travel to diagnose a problem on-site. With state-of-the-art cameras, diagnosis can happen remotely, saving time and travel expenses.
Tips for a Successful Electronic Products Recall
Giving All Employees the Same Equipment Simplifies Support
Any time there are technical problems with employee equipment, the company depends on the tech support staff. If employees with smartphones or cameras all have different devices from different manufacturers, tech support’s job becomes extremely difficult. Businesses should set a standard and replace all cameras and phones with new equipment that meets that standard.
