Explanation
The word combines กล้อง (“camera”) with ดิจิตอล, a borrowing from English “digital.” It usually refers to a standalone camera rather than the camera built into a smartphone. When the context is clear, speakers often shorten it to กล้อง. The common classifier is ตัว, as in กล้องดิจิตอลหนึ่งตัว (“one digital camera”).
Usage
It is commonly used when buying a camera, discussing photography or travel equipment, or comparing digital cameras with film cameras.
Caution
Although ดิจิตอล is widely used, ดิจิทัล is the standard spelling. กล้องดิจิทัล is preferable in formal or official writing. To specify a smartphone camera, Thai commonly uses กล้องมือถือ instead.
