Digital Cameras versus Films - The Old world photos versus The New World photos.

The old world charm of film camera is out dated now.
  • Pluses for Film
  1. Far more socially interractive involving the community and business to buy the film and print them.
  2. The pleasure of tactile photos and enjoying them in your photo album  .
  3. Pouring over old faded photos and bringing nostaligc memories....."photographs and memories" as in the famous song the lyrics go.......one cannot replace that.
  4. Being an expensive affair to take photos and print them, one treasured them far more and held them as prized heirlooms in families.
  5. There was a sense of anticipation and excitment waiting to develop films, never knowing how it would turn out.
  6. Being able to develop a relationship with the printing shop and the whole social interraction was accepted in the society.
The Minus points of Films
  1. It is restrictive in taking photos and cannot adjust the light and distances or zoom in or out.
  2. No concept of optical zoom etc. 
  3. Once the picture is bad cannot adjust or rectify the photos before printing it.
  4. There is no back up system for films, once the films are lost there is no way of getting them back.
  5. It takes time for printing and developing the films.
Pluses of Digital Photos
  1. Has many features like optical zoom, and micro pixels that can make the picture clearer.
  2. Colour and light can be adjusted.
  3. Is quicker and time saving to print photos.
  4. Is cheaper to develop photos.
  5. It can be saved in different media,like the usb stick, cd, and archives.
  6. Can be shared with family and friends globally from the comforts of your own home.
Minuses of Digital Photos
  1. There is less interraction with people therefore being a bit isolated.
  2. Can be misused and shared with everyone around the globe without consent , therefore ethical issues are breached.
  3. Is not very treasured as it is cheap and people have an access to it more quickly and easily.
  4. There is no need to print out photos as one can view it on the computer or the camera , therefore the tactile issue is lost.
      However, with keeping up with IT and its needs a digital Camera and photos are very reveloutionary and help to connect with the world and family within nano seconds saving time but  cannot replace the nostaligia and  memories of "photographs and memories".
Therefore one cannot replace the other....... rather they have their own importance and their charm and has encapsulated human life throught the ages..........
