How do digital cameras actually work

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Imaging Resource Discussion : One Thread

I am a student studying Computer Science at SouthBank Uni. in London. Part of my course is to submit a 7-page report into Digital Cameras as an output device. I am finding lots of material about what Digital Cameras are, but sadly not how they work/ process the image digitally opposed to traditional film exposure.

Any answers/ diagrams would be extremely helpful. Sam Hocking
