5 Reasons Why You Should Throw Away Your Film Camera

December 25, 2009

For those few people who are still using film photography, here are some good reasons why you should opt for digital photography:

1. Digital photography is much more convenient than film photography. The camera is portable and can just be placed in your pocket. Finally it is much more user friendly than a film camera.

2. A digital camera will save you both effort and time. When you have taken a photo you will get immediately feedback, and you have the possibility to review them all. Then you can select the best ones and delete the rest. In short, you can keep taking photos until you get the perfect one.

3. Compared to film photography you can have to photos printed immediately, when taken with a digital camera. The only thing you need is a digital printer. Then you connect the camera to the printer and press the print button. No waiting time for photo development; and no need to go to the photo shop to pick up the photos.

4. Digital photography gives you the possibility to edit and modify your photos. You just open the image in a photo editing software. Then you can adjust the colors, crop the photo and improve the sharpness. Nothing of this is possible with film photography.

5. Finally you can share the photos of your loved ones and relatives to everyone and everywhere. Just attached the digital photo to and email and send it; so easy. With a film camera you need to buy a scanner and scan the photo, before you can send it online.

The digital photography has made taking photos much more convenient and easy. So if you are thinking about changing your film camera with a digital one, there is no better time.
