What are the benefits of using a digital camera?

Answer 1

I assume you are asking what are the benefits of the digital camera versus the film camera and will answer that way.

The digital picture from the camera is instantly available to transfer to a computer or a modem or even to transfer wirelessly. The picture can be instantly sent or viewed. The picture can be immediately edited, in some cases while still in the camera. The picture can be immediately deleted if it is not satisfactory. With multi gigibyte storage media, many hundreds or even thousands of pictures can be stored on media the size of a book of matches.

The digital camera is usually programmed so that very many options are available, just to name a few; noise reduction, anti shake programs, red eye reduction, face recognition, and in some cameras, smile recognition, which waits for a person to smile before the picture is taken! Most digital cameras offer a choice of taking color or black and white pictures.

Since the picture is visible on the liquid crystal screen, usually on the camera back, you can quickly learn what is good and bad about your photographic technique.

Using flash often yields unpredictable results, but the results can be quickly viewed and the picture taken again if necessary.

On the other hand, a 35 mm film camera is usually limited to 24 or 36 pictures on a roll of film, which must be chemically developed in a darkroom. The picture must then be printed or projected to be seen.

To take a thousand pictures with color film using 28 rolls of film at 4 dollars per roll of 36 pictures, costs 112 dollars. The cost of developing and printing 28 rolls of film at about 10 dollars each is 280 dollars.

To take 1000 pictures with the digital camera may cost 15 dollars in batteries, or less if rechargable batteries are used. It costs far less to take and print digital pictures after the initial outlay of the cost of the digital camera and printer is considered.

Many people consider digital Photography a new and exciting art.

Many digital cameras have a special "night mode" feature that helps you to click clear pictures even in dim light.

Answer 4

Cameras allow us to keep memories that we wouldn't remember otherwise. These memories are memories that will literally live on for generations to come. The only reason we cant just remember it our selves is because we will have to die eventually and after 18 we stop growing brain cells so we cannot remember them ourselves.
