If you are taking pictures, chances are you are using a digital camera. Initially believed by most to be a passing fad, the digital camera has grown in popularity over the film camera tremendously during the last decade. Its compact design compared to most film cameras has made the digital camera a ubiquitous presence almost anywhere you go. Is it possible that the digital camera will replace the film camera? Well, it depends on who you ask.
Digital cameras were born with price tags so high that only professionals who could recoup its cost through sales could afford them. These days, however, digital cameras have become so economical that price alone is often the determining factor between the two. Many amateur photographers choose digital cameras over film cameras because they do not have to buy film and in many cases, there are no lab fees to pay to have photos developed. Nevertheless, cost is not the only consideration in deciding digital or film.
Photos from digital cameras lose resolution on distance shots as well as when you enlarge the work. However, some professionals use both digital and film cameras due to the accuracy of resolution of film.
So, what do you do with your camera? Do you create family albums of those memorable events like vacations, family outings, and the little one’s growth? Well, pick up a digital camera and go for it. Will it replace film cameras? The professionals would probably say no.
