Over the years, new technology and equipment has practically re invented the world of the Photography, a way in which it has gone from wind up film cameras, to new state of the Art SLR Digital Cameras which are popular by both professional and the Amateur market, but Digital Photography still has both its pros and cons.
Firstly, starting with the pros of Digital Photography, I feel out weighs the cons. The main thing about having a digital camera is that there is no waiting for your photos to be developed and seeing whether they have turned out well, by using Digital this allows us to browse through our images while still on the camera or even if they have been downloaded onto a computer before deciding which images to keep. Whereas if using a film camera, if none or some of the images haven't turned out well or the way you specifically wanted it will require you to buy another film, at a cost and start the process again. Also by using Digital cameras, you don't neccassarily need to print off every single photo, which would be a waste of ink as you wouldn't be printing off images you are certain on, unlike film cameras, you have no choice as this is the only way that they can be viewed.
Another way in which Digital cameras are more suitable is that, unlike the Film cameras they contain all their essentials inside the camera most of the time, such as memory cards and batteries that are designed to be small, light and easy to carry around. With Film cameras you have to always make sure you have spare film in case you run out, as there is only a fixed number of shots you can take eg. 35 so this would require buying more films, which could turn out very expensive in the long run. Also before having the photos developed all of the film has to be used, so you aren't able to get just the photos you want, instead you have to waste time using up the rest of the film. Which, if the images are not all of what you wanted is a waste of money and film.
Also, with digital cameras, you are able to take off the lenses which will make them easier to carry and plus there are many different types of lenses you can choose to put on. Whereas with a film camera they tend to be quite bulky and heavy, which if been carried around for lond periods of time could be quite uncomfortable. Digital cameras can also be much easier to view the photos with other people as you can upload them onto a computer and browse through them or either put them onto memory sticks, discs or a memory card. You are also able to have multiple copies of the photographs and you can print as many copies as you want. Whilst having the images in a computer, this allows you to edit the pictures if needed and you can do many different thing to them such as altering the contrast or even changing them to black and white.
Even though I feel that Digital Photography has more advantages than Film cameras, there are still some disadvantages as you have to have certain equipment such as computers and leads to enable you to download the pictures, also in order to print the pictures you will need to have access to a printer. Also if you need to edit your photographs, there are many different programmes such as Photoshop and Illustrator which you will need in order to create good quality images. Overall I think that Digital Photography is a much more easier way to produce images as there are many different things you can do to them.
