Film Or Digital: Which Is Best?

scatterometry


Until recently, photographers used film for all their camera work. They either learned how to handle and develop film scatterometry, or took the undeveloped roll to a local processing house for development and printing. Now, you have a choice between film or digital cameras for photography. So which is better? Here I present the pros and cons of each, so the reader can be the judge for themselves.




There are many considerations when deciding between film or digital. Are you a hobbyist and shoot mostly family gatherings and vacations? Or are you a professional who needs to control every aspect of the shot, and you desire the look of film? These are just a few examples that will influence your decision to purchase a traditional film scatterometry or digital camera for your photography needs.

Pros of Film

Many professional photographers still prefer to use film over digital formats. When using film, you can match film speed, and many other factors to influence the final photo result. If you learn all you can about the films available, and the camera settings to use, your artistic options are greater with a film camera. That is not to say that there are not a plethora of settings on the digital camera that can help you try to mimic the look of film. Just that many purists insist that digital will never replace the look of film.

Another pro of using film is the fact that your photos can be printed and stored physically, and you have a backup negative to create more prints whenever you need them. You don't have to remember to back up your digital data, or run the risk of accidentally deleting your photos with film.

Cons of Film

Film is not as convenient as digital. You must shoot many more photos with film to be sure you get that perfect shot. You must have the entire roll of film developed to see the shots you have, and if they are acceptable. On the other hand, with a digital camera you can simply bring up your photos and scroll through to see them instantly to see if your shot was acceptable. The processing of film also adds additional expense over digital processing.

Pros of Digital

Digital cameras are great for most people, especially hobbyists just starting out. Perhaps the greatest asset for non-professionals is that you have instant access to the photos you have taken. So you can easily see if your shot is blurry, or has other imperfections that you need to correct. You no longer have to return from vacation and have your film developed to find out if those great shots of your vacation turned out.

When shooting digital, you can easily download the photos to your computer or laptop, and work with the images. You can easily post them to a web site, e-mail them to others, or bring them into photo editing software for any use you desire. You can store a digital backup of the files, while at the same time you can create prints on a photo printer that rival film prints.
