New vs Old Cameras
When looking at the new vs old cameras I have found both have both good and bad things from portability to tools and uses. I have used both new and old, and I myself love both of them. They both can be difficult to use and can create beautiful works of art. I started with the 35mm camera that requires film and the use of a dark room. This requires the artist to have knowledge of chemicals and methods used to create various techniques and effects with the basic film. I soon went on to digital photography and the new methods developed for computer usage. They were both amazing and I have kept both my old and new cameras to help allow for a range of possible images.Differences
When you look at the differences between the two types of cameras you find that some are subtle and others are very noticeable to all. The first thing that you need in a good camera is the possibility of amazing picture quality for each image. In this you will find that digital cameras allow for better manipulation of pixels for image quality, but film has always been known to have the greatest film resolution overall. |

Next you want to look at the noise and grain for each of the pictures, and the digital cameras have created a great tool to help photographers with this situation, it is called Noise Reduction. Both cameras have inherent image noise, but when comparing similar sensitivity between film and digital the digital was found to have better image quality. Although when comparing them, digital cameras are found to have a problem with color distortion because of the noise.
Yet digital cameras do have one known problem that developers are addressing and that is dynamic range. Though these cameras are known to have a higher sensitivity or film speed than the original 35mm cameras.
Final Look
When you look back in choosing between digital and film you especially want to take into account the idea of cost difference, convenience and flexibility. Each of these topics are important when discussing photography. First is cost, there are several differences between the two first is the fact that digital cameras are much more expensive overall, but the picture development is pretty much free overall. Instead the costs go to the tools and cost of printing the final products in a high quality fashion. The basic 35mm cameras have chemical processing for the film instead. |

The balance between the two with both the good and bad shows why I find both to be useful in their own environment, and why I find it useful to be experienced in both types of photography.
