Traditional or digital camera...?  email this discussion to a friend?

elamel (84)   ranked 3,181 out of 19,253 in questions & answers 2 years ago

Which do you prefer traditional camera (this is the old camera which is using a negative film) or a digital camera?..

as for me it depends on how will i used the shots. If its for archival purposes then i prefer the traditional because when it comes to quality traditional is much better than digital cam. But if your in a hurry to see the print for your shots then obviously you will go for digital camera..

how about you mylotters which do you prefer.?

I like digital cameras because they seem to make taking a picture so easy.
I never seemed to get it right with traditional cameras but I have taken some quite good shots with a digital one.


elamel (84)   ranked 3,181 out of 19,253 in questions & answers  2 years ago

you're right vonmac with digital camera you can easily see the shots you made if its good or need to re-shoot again. you can easily see also if your perspective is correct. That is one of the advantage of a digital camera.

thanks for the comment..

Hi, I prefer the digital camera any time. I'm no professional, and sometimes take bad shots. A film camera would mean that I'd be wasting a lot of shots, whereas with a digital camera, I can just delete the bad shots!


elamel (84)   ranked 3,181 out of 19,253 in questions & answers  2 years ago

you're right lazeebee. since your not a professional you prefer the digital cam. that is easy to delete and re-shoot if it is not good..

tnx for the comment..

traditional camera has become obsolete now a days and no body even purchase it for free if u sell them so i think we should go according to the new generation and go for digital only as it can been seen on computer also


myLot reputation of 56/100. bentennyson89 (493)  2 years ago

digital is growing only with the growth of computer i think..

in my opinion where quality is required traditional camera is better.
but i agree that for quick n fast results one should go for digital camera and that too with latest technology & features.
this will enable you to get best results.


myLot reputation of 56/100. bentennyson89 (493)  2 years ago

elamel (84)   ranked 3,181 out of 19,253 in questions & answers  2 years ago

in digital camera there is also a flash light, although you can set it to auto..it depend on the users.

Hi elamel, I prefer using a digital camera rather than the traditional one. With digital camera's you can take a lot of pictures while in traditional you are only limited base on the film. Also with the technology nowadays it is much better to have a digital camera, you can easily share pictures with it online and it's easy to transfer pictures unlike traditional ones, you have to scan them after printing them out. But I like polaroid camera's xDD


elamel (84)   ranked 3,181 out of 19,253 in questions & answers  2 years ago

you're right chiepao, with the technology now a days digital cam is much better but when it comes to quality its traditional is better than digital.

thanks for the comment.

I prefer digital camera because this enables you to have more shots and delete those you think are not perfect and you will not waste any film. There are professional cameras nowadays that are digital. My friend just bought one recently and the image is great. It is as if you are using a traditional camera. I think the secret for a good picture is not only the camera alone, there are also issues on paper to be use for printing. If you really want a good picture that will last, I say invest on papers and ink because aside from a good shot, a good print out also matter.


elamel (84)   ranked 3,181 out of 19,253 in questions & answers  2 years ago

aside from the camera, paper used in printing, photographer is also one of the reason in having a good shoot.
we cannot determine with our own eyes the difference with a 3 Mega pixels and 4 mega pixels its very little. but there will always be a difference between them. you can see it with their file size.
analog camera will never be the same with digital camera.

thanks for the comments anneshirley..

Digital for sure. They're so convenient. If you don't like the picture, you can delete it. They're easy to edit, fast to get the prints, and simple to save. You also don't have to worry about buying the film, different lenses, or any of that nonsense.


myLot reputation of 56/100. bentennyson89 (493)  2 years ago

in digital i love the different mode..


elamel (84)   ranked 3,181 out of 19,253 in questions & answers  2 years ago

in digital you need to buy a lenses also specially if its a professional digital cam..

thanks for the comments.. dare2defyy and bentennyson89.

Its a good choice to choose Digital camera as the images can be immediately transferd to system and the prints are taken asap.moreover the pixels are updated in the latest cameras. so i dont think it wont be a problem regarding the Quality.


myLot reputation of 56/100. bentennyson89 (493)  2 years ago

great then when days come there will be only digital..

I prefer the digital camera more than the traditional camera. The advantages of using a digital camera outweighs the traditional camera. For example, you can take shots with a digital camera without worrying about the effects of the taken pictures. You can choose to delete the pictures you don't like anytime, and no wastage is incurred. Nowadays, digital professional cameras are also available. It will be very soon that traditional cameras become obsolete altogether.
