1. A system for providing optimized digital images, comprising:
a digital image capture device;
an image analysis module configured to analyze characteristics of digital image data;
a settings analysis module coupled to said image analysis module and configured to determine a number of digital images to capture and settings for each of said digital images, based on results obtained from said image analysis module;
an image capture module coupled to said settings analysis module and configured to instruct said digital image capture device to capture said digital images at said determined settings; and
computer-executable logic instructions configured to provide an optimized image based on said captured digital images, wherein said optimized image is synthesized based on said captured images, and wherein said optimized image is synthesized by replacing at least some pixels in said one of said captured images with an average of corresponding pixel values from others of said captured images.
