Photography in the last ten years has seen great advancements, where
technology and technique is concerned. While some experts are of the
opinion that not much more can be achieved, there are others in the
field of manufacturing, who are constantly researching and attempting to
invent something more advanced than the last camera they have launched
in the market.
However, the main aspect is that a vast majority of photographers
have shifted from the traditional film cameras to the digital
photographs. And yet, there are general consumers and amateur
photographers who are not aware about what is digita photography.
To answer this question, given here is a list of reasons as to why this
is preferred format of photographing in comparison to the traditional
analogue film methods…
• The cost factor: Every picture click by a film camera requires one to
incur the cost of a film roll as well as its development. And what’s
more... one also has to spend on photographs they may not just want,
because the entire roll needs to be developed. On the other hand where
digital cameras are concerned, one can select which image they need
printed, and simply leave the others either in a folder in the computer
or in any other storage device, or the simply leave the image on the
memory card of the camera
• The Time factor: In case one needs to send pictures to someone live in
another country, they can do so almost instantly after clicking the
picture with their digital camera. This is because the image can be
transferred from camera to computer as soon as it is clicked, and then
printed with color digital printer or emailed. This is not possible in
the film camera, as one needs to wait for the entire roll to get over,
or then waste the remaining part of the roll and then send it to be
developed in a photo-lab. That costs more time and effort than using any
of the compact digital cameras
• The Learning factor: It is pretty much easy operating a digital camera
and then processing the images. In fact, one has more control over the
quality of the image if one knows how to use the various imaging
software. In the case of filming, learning the process of film-to-print
could be rather tedious. And sometimes during this process images can
actually get ruined.
• The Size factor: Digital cameras are available varied sizes, from
something rather heavy and bulky to the small pocket size cameras. There
are also the novelty digital cameras in various colors and so girls can
have their pick of their favorite pink digital cameras, and children can
get one with their favorite animation character (subject to
availability).
• The Life Span factor: The life span of digital images far out do that
of the film prints. This is because of the varied storage methods of the
digital images. On the other hand film prints tend to fade as time
passes by, and negatives tend to weather in time.
