Film and Digital Cameras
Film cameras are the old handy-dandy camera where you know you're going to get a nice quality, tangible picture in the end. Whereas with digital, you have to take the extra step to send the pictures to walmart.com or take the chip to the pharmacy to get hte pictures printed. It can be a hassel, but it seems that for hte most part film cameras are becoming obsolete.
Is it really time to say goodbye to film cameras?
Personally, I hope not. I mean I remember my first camer. A cute Kodak. I loved taking pictures, not knowing what exactly was going to come out. But I enjoyed thumbing through all the pictures once they were developed at the one hour place- usually the grocery store.
When I finally received my first digital camera, a Sony, I put up the film Kodak and couldn't stop using the Sony. Personally, I don't even know where my Kodak is, or if I even still have it somewhere. But, I can tell you where my first Sony digital camera is, as with the second, and the third.
Which is another thing... It seems that the digital cameras die and break with a greater propensity than film cameras. I mean, granted only the first Sony actually died, and the second just needed to be upgraded, but I admit using the second camera on occassion still I notice it failing slowly.
It's not even regular "adult" cameras that are changing over. Slowly, Kodak, Fuji, and the other makers of disposable cameras are changing over to a disposable digital camera, but come on... They're crazy expensive. And if you're just buying the camera for a child on vacation, do you really want to spend $10 or more for a camera to use just one time?
I wouldn't, but that's just me.
