In 1981, [[Sony]] unveiled the first consumer camera to use a [[charge-coupled device]] for imaging, eliminating the need for film: the [[Sony Mavica]]. While the Mavica saved images to disk, the images were displayed on television, and the camera was not fully digital.

The first digital camera to both record and save images in a digital format was the Fujix DS-1P created by Fujifilm in 1988.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.fujifilm.com/innovation/achievements/ds-1p/ |title=Research & Development |website=fujifilm.com |access-date=13 January 2022}}</ref>

In 1991, Kodak unveiled the [[DCS 100]], the first commercially available digital single-lens reflex camera. Although its high cost precluded uses other than [[photojournalism]] and professional photography, commercial [[digital photography]] was born.

Digital imaging uses an electronic [[image sensor]] to record the image as a set of electronic data rather than as chemical changes on film.<ref>Schewe, Jeff (2012). The Digital Negative: Raw Image Processing In [[Lightroom]], [[Camera Raw]], and [[Photoshop]]. Berkeley, CA: Peachpit Press, {{ISBN|0-321-83957-9}}, p. 72</ref> An important difference between digital and chemical photography is that chemical photography resists [[photo manipulation]] because it involves [[photographic film|film]] and [[photographic paper]], while digital imaging is a highly manipulative medium. This difference allows for a degree of image post-processing that is comparatively difficult in film-based photography and permits different communicative potentials and applications.

Digital photography dominates the 21st century. More than 99% of photographs taken around the world are through digital cameras, increasingly through smartphones.
