Old Friends are the best! 35MM Photography has been out since the thirties, has evolved and kept up with- and created some of its own trends- and is well-established as the dominant form of film-based photography. I have a fine 35mm Pentax with a Japanese l35 lens. the lens has half-stops a good compositonal feature not found on many modern cameras. With a wide exposure range and many shutter speeds- mated to established camera technique and a user-standardized asa 400 film-well it is a stalwart using camera and works well. not against progress but hey, here is a 47 year old Camera -the lens is younger- that shoots like tomorrow. again I can state conventional 35MM photography has survived such challengers as Instamatic ( gone since about l985) Agfa Rapid ( a proprietary sub-caliber 35) and such things as View-master, ( 3-D) and for the most part, Polaroid. 35MM is alive and well and has a continuing future. No more obsolete than acoustic Guitars. Even now new films are being developed and old ones reissued- a vital niche market at the CAMERA shop.

What is better an iPod or a digital camera?
an ipod is better than a digital camera
Can a film camera can convert to digital camera?
No. You cannot economically convert a film camera to a digital camera. The digital system is very different and fitting it to an existing film camera is more expensive than buying a new digital camera. Some of the more expensive professional cameras can change between film and digital backs replacing the film transport with digital technology. The replacement backing includes all the electronics and controls typical of a digital camera of that caliber.
What is film photography?
Photography using film, rather than a digital camera.
Is a Vistaquest digital camera better than a Coolpic digital camera?
Comparing digital cameras all depends on what you are looking for in a camera. Try comparing the megapixels on the camera. The higher the megapixel, the better the picture it will produce.
What is the type of camera records pictures electronically rather than using film?
A digital camera.
What makes an HD Digital Camera better than other digital cameras.?
An HD Digital Camera is better than a regular digital camera because the pictures are high quality and are shown in high definition. Plus you do not have to worry about red eye and blurs in your photos.
How does the resolution of a 2.4 megapixal digital camera compare with a disposable camera?
Generally speaking, film has a much better resolution than digital cameras. In fact, if you were to compare good 35mm color film to the "megapixel" rating of digital cameras, film would rate in the area of 24 megapixels. The problem is not with the resolution of the storage media (digital vs. film), but rather the abilities of the cameras themselves. A disposable camera is going to have a disposable lens in it. Lenses have a very big impact on the quality of your photos. So, in short, the disposable camera might have a better resolution, but the digital camera will likely have sharper pictures. The operative word here is disposable. Most of the 'disposables' on the market would be better if they were disposed of before taking pictures.
Is a pocket digital camera better than a non-pocket camera?
I would say a pocket digital camera is better than a non-pocket camera, because they are much smaller. They don't cost much, and you can get all the great features as a non-pocket camera.
Are there any advantages of a 35 mm film camera over digital?
In some ways, they can be a better training tool in that you only get a limited number of exposures per roll. Thus, greater thought must be put into the shot by the photographer than with a digital camera.
Will 600 Film for Polaroid Captiva SLR camera-non digital work?

digital video camera vs analog.?
Yes, the picture quality of a digital video camera is a lot better than an analog camera. They are fantastic for filming sports events.
Why is a digital camera better?
There are many advantages to using a digital camera. Here are a few: A digital camera let's you know right away whether you've shot the photo as you want it. With film you have to wait until the film is processed to know whether the picture turned out the way you intended. A digital camera does not require the expense of film, processing, and printing (which adds up to a lot of money if you shoot photos often). A ditigal camera lets you save photos electronically, which takes less space than the prints or slides you get from a film camera. The electronic images from a digital camera can be e-mailed to others. If you use a film camera, you have to turn the slide or print into a digital format before you can e-mail it. Film cameras give a fixed image, it is not possible to tamper with the negative or slidert after processing, so film images may be relied on in court evidence. Digital cameras retain information in their internal memories even after formatting (I know, I have tried it!), so very secret areas have to have their own dedicated cameras which cannot be used outside those areas or film has to be used. In some cases, film images are more stable than digital images for long term storage. Some early forms of digital storage cannot now be read because the drives are no longer available.
