Even though a few years ago they were just some fancy gadgets, the digital cameras are really popular these days. They are used by so many people, and they had totally replaced the old cameras that were running with a film. So since they are digital, the pictures are stored in their internal memory (or on a SD card), and then you can transfer them directly onto your computer or laptop, and there is no need to print them. But of course if you want to have the pictures in the classic format, you can also print them.

And since digital cameras are so popular these days, they are produced and sold by many companies. And here are some examples : Canon, Nikon, Sony, Samsung, Olympus, Fujifilm, Kodak, Pentax, Casio, Panasonic, Polaroid, Insignia, GE, Vivitar, Swiss Gear, Dynex and probably some others.
