Digital or film?

I have no photographic skills whatsoever, so I prefer digital for convenience sake. I find it easier to carry and exchange the little cards in the camera then it is to carry film. I would like to try my hand at manipulating digital photos.

I do think that film photography is quite an art form.

Great discussion, thank you for the post.
I am an avid photographer and love taking pictures.
I love photography, both film and digital.
I used to shoot with film before I went digital too.
I loved the film because of the diversity in the different types.
As well as paper for processing, which can also change the effect.
I found however, the cost of processing was very costly.
In comparison.
My camera started acting up. The motor failed to wind.
I was going through films, taking them in only to find that they never advanced.
The camera went for service and I have barely used it since.
Now I am all digital.
I like it just fine.
I sometimes miss the film camera. It was a canon, same as my digital now but digital just isn't the same.
I like how I can download the pics, take my card to photo processing and is a lot less in cost than processing the film, that's for sure.
I like my photos in digital format. If I want to I can resize, crop and or manipulate, which is very cool.
Digital is indeed an art in itself as appose to film photography.
I just love pictures, no matter whether film or digital.
I love taking pictures.
With the way digital cameras are advancing, i am excited about upgrading someday.

Digital camera is great but we can't just forget the film.. digital pictures can be edited in computer.. this is great for those who are creative in terms of picture editing... and has the ability to use photo editor skillfully...I also love to edit pictures but my problem is I don't have a Digital cam... I wish to have one!

I use both.
The digital is convenient, fast and less expensive, but the beauty and detail of a black and white film in medium format is unparalleled!
I have discovered recentrly the film and I must say that the difference can be seen, and much!

particularly, the film has a more flexible and a better balance of light and shade than the digital sensor.

also as the priceless feeling that you have to dipping a white sheet into a bowl and slowly looking up your photo!

i Prefer digital because in digital we can erase after copying the photos to our computer and use that source again but in film the acctual film get waster and even film is much costly.

I've only been taking pictures for two years... and I have to say, I prefer digital.

Digital is much more convenient. I don't need to buy film and all I have to do is plug in my camera to the computer to download the images. I don't need to get the pictures put on a CD. Not only is it less work, it's less time.

But the film cameras do have their advantages.

I have little knowledge of photography in general, but I do enjoy taking photos with my digital camera. I love taking photos of nature with it and I appreciate it a lot.
