digital camera v. camera

Digital camera v. Boring old camera

I know, I know it seems like a very obvious decision, choosing between the low technology of a regular camera and the advanced version of a digital camera. It seems that all they sell, and all people will buy are digital cameras. Yet there might be some people out there refusing the advancement and holding on to their rolls of film, and large, slow cameras. I am here to tell you to LET GO!!!

The obvious:

A digital camera allows the user to instantly review the picture, to avoid later disappointment
about a bad angle, messy hair, chubby shot, and worst of all closed eyes! The screen on the back side of the camera shows the image and allows you pick and choose, or even retake the picture at your leisure.

If the shot is not up to par, then the picture can be easily deleted with the press of a button. There is no need to worry about wasting the roll of film or having to insert or even buy new film.

Once the picture is taken there is nothing else a regular camera can do with the picture. Whereas a digital camera allows the user to change the settings for various lighting and landscapes. There are also fun feature that some digital cameras have which allow you to write captions on the pictures, or even add fun images like party hats and streamers!

FInally, and probably the best point for switching to digital camera is the easy and cost efficient accessibility of the pictures. Any one that has had a camera has experienced collecting rolls of films from past events for an inconvenient trip to the local Walgreens or CVS to develop the film. This usually gets burden some and the rolls are collected in a drawer... its inevitable! Yet, with any digital camera comes a USB cord that allows the pictures to be downloaded from the camera to any computer or laptop. At this point the user can crop, edit, and basically do anything with the pictures themselves. It also allows the pictures to easily be transfered from the computer to any of the social networking sites such as Facebook. Sharing photos this way is much more cost efficient than attempting to print doubles, triples, or quadruple sets of photos for friends and family.

There is just no way to compare an old and regular camera to a digital camera with all its perks. For any of you who still use regular cameras, it is officially time to move on and buy a digital camera. A digital camera will add to your picture taking and sharing experience! Try it out!!
