What is the difference between Digital and CCD cameras?

Until about ten years ago cameras used film -- clear plastic with a coating that is sensitive to light. The camera exposed light from the scene onto the film which was later removed from the camera and put in chemicals to cause the images to appear. This chemical process is called developing the film. Some professional photographers, serious amateurs, and people who have not yet bought a digital camera still use film cameras. I assume these film cameras are what you are calling 'normal.' Digital cameras create images by light from the scene onto electronic sensors which convert the light falling on them to signals that can be recorded in digital files the way computer data is recorded. These files can then be transferred to computers to be printed.


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.

What part of the eye is most like the film on a camera?

The retina is very similar to the film in a camera. Images come through the eye's lens and are focused on the retina. The retina then converts these images to electric signals and sends them by way of the optic nerve to the back lobe of the brain.

How is a modern camera different from old camera?

The early camera used glass plates coated with chemicals to make a picture. The glass plate was slipped into the camera and a cover on the lens was removed this made a negative picture as the light hit the coated glass. The glass was taken out of the camera and used to make a picture. Most of the glass plates were recycled for use in windows and green houses so many of the early photos are gone. The glass was later replaced with tin to make "tin types" and in the early 1900's film was introduced. In 1888 Edison made the first film projector. For most of the 20th century film was the mainly used for photos ( some people still like film better than digital). The digital camera is fairly recent to come on the market and the big advantage is that it doesn't use film. This is the main difference between the camera of today and the camera of 20 or 10 years ago. The home photographer can do much of the work that he/she use to pay for by the programs on the computer. A whole industry has been changed due to the digital camera.


Where can i buy a film camera?

You can buy a film camera at any camera store, including online stores. Buying online is really easy and takes the hassle out of the purchase. One of the most exciting parts of using a film camera is setting up a dark room and developing the photographs yourself. I'd recommend Continental Photo, http://www.continentalphoto.com/, because they offer such a large selection of film cameras and supplies you may want such as paper and ribbon, and photo paper rolls. Have fun!
