Best Answer

A digital camera is a portable camera that runs on batteries and usually has a slot for a memory card to save pictures and videos to. They generally have better image quality, presently ranging from around 8-12 megapixels on average. This is what you usually see people carrying around for taking pictures. A webcam is a small camera that connects to a computer [or is built into a laptop] and is generally used for video chats online. They have lower quality than a digital camera.
