Capture the Moment with Your Camera

Cameras come in many different types and are even more
varying since the advent of the digital camera. Prior to
these new types, there were two main types that most people
would be familiar with, the first one being the 35
millimeter. This camera was (and in some cases still is) the
choice of professional photographers everywhere. The photo
is excellent with these cameras and they are easy to deal
with and use.

The negative aspect of this kind of camera is that, unless
you have your own darkroom, you must use the services of a
professional lab. For an amateur wanting to use film, the
110 mm cameras is cheaper and easy enough for anyone to use.
There are even disposable, one-use types. The quality of the
photos is not quite as good, but it is excellent for a
beginner who wants to take a few snaps or for situations
where you wouldn't want to risk using a more expensive
camera.

Time to Go Digital?

Once with the development of technology, this domain has
made incredible progress. Digital cameras are now more and
more complicated. They are now equipped with card memories
in which, depending on their capacity, you can stores a lot
of photos. You can take pictures in different sizes and even
adjust the level of details, textures or shadows.

While new better cameras appeared on the market, the old
ones disappeared or their prices went down to a reasonable
level. Now you can easily and inexpensively buy a digital
camera with quality comparable or even better than the old
35 millimeter ones. Some pros believe that film cameras will
be almost obsolete within 10 years.

Digital camera technology has made major progress fast. If
you want to print your pictures you don't even need your own
printer as many shops offer this service, including
Wal-Mart stores. Many smaller stores also feature kiosks
which let you immediately print your photos

Either way, this is an effective solution if you don't have
your own printer. Nowadays the benefits to digital photos
tend to outweigh the disadvantages. One key advantage is the
ability to share these photos quickly and easily with family
and friends worldwide via email and the World Wide Web.
