Advantages of Digital Photography
Undoubtedly, today digital photography has overtaken traditional film-based photography. Although traditional film-based photography has its own advantage like allowing longer shutter speed time, more than 30 seconds which is usually not possible through digital cameras. But today, the world is moving more towards digital technology and it is becoming popular day by day. Writing about the advantages of digital photography requires a complete book. But this article will discuss few, out of many, well-known advantages of digital photography.
· Instant Results: the most well-known advantage of digital camera is that you don’t have to wait for the pictures to be processed before you can see them. With digital camera, you can instantly watch the picture you have taken. If you like it, then keep it otherwise you have the option of deleting it. This is the biggest advantage of the digital camera over other traditional film-based cameras.
· Memory cards: another advantage of using a digital camera is that you use memory cards instead of films. With few exceptions, almost all film-based camera users don’t have the facility to use their films with their own but with memory cards; you can access your pictures in them easily by using any memory card reader.
· Versatile: digital photography is versatile in a way that it allows you to share your picture with anyone without having the need to send them these pictures via regular posts. You can share you digital picture with anyone with a single click of mouse.
· Editable: digital pictures can easily be edited in order to achieve your desirable results. You can crop the image or you can give special affects to the picture. It is all possible with the digital pictures.
· Storage: film based cameras only used films to store the pictures. With the help of digital cameras, now the pictures are stored on a separate memory card. Moreover the pictures are not restricted with the memory card only; you can save them in your computer’s hard disk, in your mobile, on CDs etc.
· Affordable: digital cameras are more affordable as compared to traditional film-based cameras in many ways. Consider how much you had to pay to get two copies of a single picture in case of film-based cameras. And now imagine what takes to make a new copy of a digital picture; just one click. Another fact is that with the help of digital cameras, you are not required to take memory card again and again. Buying a memory card is a one time purchase which was not the case in film-based cameras because you had to buy every time a new film for your camera.
· Creativity: Most of the digital cameras today come with different inbuilt creative features like cropping, framing, adjustable colour tone, night vision, day light, white balance, blur, special affects etc which was hardly there in film-based cameras. This is the reason why digital cameras are now becoming a symbol of creativity with the help of the built-in features they provide to their users.
