Film cameras are becoming increasingly rare. Although digital cameras have a long way since they were first introduced, there are still photographers who prefer the old film cameras. Some of them use film exclusively while others prefer film for certain scenarios.
There is no simple answer to the question of which camera is better, film or digital. In some scenarios film is better than digital and in other scenarios digital is better than film. Both have advantages andDisadvantages and the true answer to the better is simply a list of differences. Here are a few:
The sensor: In film cameras a light sensitive film is situated behind the lens. To take a photo the shutter opens for a certain period of time and light hits the film "Print a photo on the film. After a photo is taken, the film is rolled out and a fresh film is placed behind the lens. With digital cameras, an electronic sensor (such as CCD) is located behind the lens. The CCD isconsisting of many small light-sensitive sensors, one per pixel. To take a photo the shutter opens for a certain period of time and light hits the sensor. Each pixel has its value and together all the pixels include a photo. The photo is emptied onto a digital media and the CCD is electronically stored.
The main difference between a CCD sensor and a film is the depth of field. Since digital sensors are smaller than 35mm is the depth of field is much larger, in fact in most compactDigital cameras is almost endless.
Instant feedback: One of the biggest features digital cameras is instant feedback. Digital cameras, a small LCD screen. After a photo is shot, it can be shown on this screen. If the photo is not good, you can take another one. The ability to see the photos will help make an informed decision about how to fix it or how to compose it better. It takes a large part of the installments from the photograph.
Photo capacity: Digital cameras today can be hundredsand even thousands of digital photos on a single medium. With extra storage in your pocket digital cameras virtually unlimited capacity. The ability of the other cameras is very limited. The standard is a roll of 36 pictures which can only hold 36 images. Is used after such a role will require the conversion to a new role, and time is not easy, in scenarios such as darkness or a harsh environment are. Filmrollen no small roles, and corresponds to the execution of thousands of photos is notpractical.
Shooting angle: Digital cameras allow you to be images with no eye glued to the viewfinder. Together with the almost zero at the expense of photos and high-capacity, this means new opportunities for a new angle.
A photo cost: Photos taken with a digital camera really cost nothing. They are stored on erasable and can be discarded is always free. The photos, which you can choose to hold, to be copied to digital media, such as a computerHard drive. With low cost digital storage of the cost of storing a photo is practically zero. Film costs money. A roll of film costs money and can not be reused. Each time the shutter button is pressed spent money, regardless if you later decide to get rid of them.
Photo-editing: digital cameras, digital photos are basically computer files and can be manipulated by computer software. Such software is known as photo editing software lets you correct photos and createSpecial effects. Some photo processing companies capabilities built-in cameras. With the film on the other hand, it is very difficult to make corrections. When corrections are essential, the easiest way to do them is to the negative and printed photo-scan (converted to digital), the means and process it on a computer as if it were a digital photo.
Adaptation to different conditions: film reels are designed for specific scenarios There are indoor and outdoor films or films with different Sensitivity to light. If you want to change the terms of a film camera the photographer can shoot with the wrong film, change the role (and lose) the rest of the photos or use another camera with a different role in it. Shooting photos with the wrong film roll can lead to distorted colors (reddish photos for example), a grainy photo and more.
With digital cameras, on the other hand, the properties of the sensor can be electronically adjusted. With a click of a button> Change camera can be indoor or outdoor mode, low light, night photography and son on.
