Do you still use rolls or have you entered the digital era?  |
|
I love my old school camera. But I do have a digital. How long do you think it will take for digital to completely phase out film? I have taken alot of awesome photos with both.
Thanks.

1. oceangirl (113) | 3 years ago | I have used digital exclusively for a few years now. I'm just waiting for printing technology to*truly* catch up...
I like being able to see my pics right away and know if they're any good or not, rather than taking roll after roll of film hoping for that one perfect shot. Also, memory cards are of course re-usable. Film and developing adds up in expense!
I'm just a minor photographic hobbyist, though, only a bit above "snapshots." Others might disagree. I imagine there will always be art-quality purists who insist on old-style film.:)

ilunice (913) | 3 years ago | I guess it might take the next 100 years or so especially in places like africa and Asia. Most people in these continents cannot affor to purchase digital cameras. So the still rely on rolls and films. Besides, the printing technology that goes with digital cameral is not yet available except one prints from laser printer. Printin pictures on laser or inkjet printers is not cost effective. I doubt it how many individuals can afford it in places where poverty abounds.

2. arleccio (389) | 3 years ago | I'm not digital yet because the cameras are still too expensive, but I think if I invested the money now I would save a lot in the end. I wouldn't need others to see the photos anymore and the digicams get better and better. I think there will be film for a long time, but it will relatively soon vanish for normal people as those cheaper versions are good enough for random snapshoots. But there are still things you can do with film which you can't do with a digicam.

| 3. little_moore (15) | 3 years ago | Husband and I picked up a Nikon D70 Digital camera a year and a half ago and we love it! it was what spiked our interest in photography. At the time it cost us $1500, but now you can get one for about $1000. If you like to see your work right when its done, this is a great way to go. I hate spending money on film jus to find that maybe one picture turned out and i spent a good $25-$50 (depending on the rolls) on developing them. But, i guess we all have opinions on what we prefer.

arleccio (389) | 3 years ago | $25-$50? wow, most I pay here are $15 and then the CD with the digitalized pics is already included.
If I had $1000 I would long have a digital camera as I always forget to buy new films and to bring the shot ones to the store... so I see my photos always months later, when I convinced my mother the there are pics on one of the films she is waiting for... that won't work with black and white films though...

4. kris182_2000 (1360) | 3 years ago | Once I went digital(only recently), I realized that I will NEVER go back to the old way. I know, I know, everyone says never say never, but I mean it.
I love my digital camera. It's so easy to take pictures and get some great shots. I can't take video with an old fashioned camera now can I?
I paid around $400 for my camera including a 2 GB memory card, so it wasn't much to pay. I'm not worried about the cost especially since it will pay off in the long run.

6. craftwave (806) | 3 years ago | I just got delivered today my new digital Canon SD900. I had another digital that I bought about five years ago and it only had 3.1 mega pixels my new one has 10. I really like my digital and so wanted to upgrade it for a better one. Can't wait to try it out. When I do I'll post some pics on here in my profile and you cna compare the results if you want. personaly I think most people will do a digital but there will always be someone who loves there film. Probably proffesional photographers.

7. spiritwolf52 (2099) | 3 years ago | I use both. The quality of the picture from my 35mm is better than my digital. The 35mm has a flash, my digital does not. I guess I am stubborn is preferring the 35mm, but the digital is growing on me. I just can't afford to buy a new one. The zoom on my 35mm is better, the picture doesn't wash out like it does on the digital. Film can get expensive to develop, but to me it is still worth it. It really depends on the type of picture that I want to take, so I always take both cameras with me.

8. perrytx (1892) | 3 years ago | I am a film photograper. My photography friends say they think the film phototgraphy will be more like an art form in the future. There will always be some die hards for film but it will it increasing more difficult to find labs to process your film. I will probably get a digital camera this year but I will keep my film camera as a back-up. website: www.perryphototx.com Check it out!

| 9. imaginefreedom (7) | 3 years ago | FILM!!! I love film and my SLR. although digital is more convenient and cheap, I don't feel digital is better than film. the quality of digital pictures may be catching on to old school pictures but its just not the same. I think film will be here for a while longer.

10. xphile777 (320) | 3 years ago | I have gone totally digital. For work, it's an absolute necessity (I'm a freelance writer and photographer). Plus, personally, I love the control I have over the finished product, not to mention having instant access to my shots and no developing costs. I started out with a Sony 3.3 MP CyberShot a couple of years ago and really got addicted to shooting for my own pleasure. But being the SLR snob I am, I really wanted a digital SLR, but couldn't afford one. Then last year I was able to buy a digital SLR (Canon Rebel XT) and I've gotten great pictures with it. I'll only use film again as a backup if something happens to my SLR.
Almost everyone I know who shoots professionally has gone digital. I think the improvements digitals have made (and continue to make) in quality and the long-term costs associated with film cameras will relagate film to artists and die-hard fans.
