Digital Cameras and Film Cameras

The debate is on: digital cameras and film cameras. Ever since digital cameras first came out, people have been plotting digital cameras against film cameras. Each type of camera is great for different reasons.

Here are some of the benefits of digital cameras:

· You can “develop” your film whenever you want… you do not have to wait until you are done with a roll of film.

· You can delete from your camera photos that you do not like.

You can take an imperfect photo and then later make it perfect by using photo software.

Many memory cards have a ton of memory these days!

· You can review and show people your photos straight from the camera.

· Digital photographs are less likely to appear grainy.

· Many say that color quality is better in digital photographs.

· The technology of digital cameras is constantly improving.

· Although much art can be made with digital cameras, many consider it to be a truer, purer art if taking with a film camera. It is much easier to find and buy a roll of film than a new memory card.

· The zoom on a film camera is always optical – this means that if you zoom in, you are going to get a better, close-up photograph that is still of excellent resolution. · Many consider film cameras to be easier to use.

· Generally, the resolution of a film camera is better (but this changes if you get a very high resolution digital camera… 7 megapixels or more).

Thus, the winner of the debate of digital cameras vs. film cameras is totally up to you.
