Traditional film cameras do not have a screen since the image is recorded onto celluloid and can only be viewed once it has been developed - this process is largely absent of electricity and is a blend of physics and chemistry, unlike modern digital cameras. Digital cameras store the image digitally and almost instantly, meaning you can view the image on the screen. The aspect ratio on digital cameras can vary, so technically the shape and size of the image can vary between 35mm fill cameras and digital. This is particularly noticable when using a lens taking from a 35mm camera and using it on a digital camera.

Film cameras provide a far better quality of image that digital Photography cannot (realistically) emulate. However, digital is preferred because the ease of producing large images is fast and requires little expereince - unlike film based photography.
