Are you picturing yourself with a new film camera or digital camera?

It's almost certain that photography is in your life one way or another. If you are like most people, you want to preserve your memories of family occasions, special events, precious moments and even the humdrum days of our lives. When it comes time to choose a new camera, we're faced with an incredible array of choices - each with a special pro or con.

Film cameras are the traditional approach, and always a good choice. However, the digital cameras available today are worth considering for their special features and flexibility.

In terms of how they work, a film camera and a digital camera are hugely different. When you push the shutter button on a film camera, the light passes through the lens where it burns an image onto a film. With a digital camera, the light reaches through the lens in much the same way, but once inside the camera, it records the light as computer data, also known as binary data. Then, the same as a computer, it stores this binary data in memory and ultimately on a media card.

While some of us find these differences fascinating, others show no interest in the cameras' inner working and merely want to know what these differences mean in terms of picture taking ability. In other words, they want to know what they can do with a digital camera that they can't do with a film camera, and vice versa.

A digital camera's versatility is something to consider. In addition to taking still images, many digital cameras can also capture video clips and audio files. Most film cameras do not do this. Additionally, a typical film camera is a specialized equipment item. A digital camera, on the other hand, is likely to be bundled with a cellular phone, smart phone or MP3 player. When you buy a digital camera, you may well be acquiring several technological devices in one - a compact item that fits easily n the palm of your hand.

When it comes to printing, digital cameras and film cameras require a much different approach. Film photographers may develop films in their own darkroom, or may take them to a printing service for developing. People using a digital camera have the option of uploading their electronic pictures to a computer where they can be printed, or of sending them directly to a printer for printing. They might also opt to upload the pictures to an online printing service, or take them to a service to be printed.

Regardless of whether you are using a film camera or a digital camera, you can choose between doing your own printing or developing or taking your pictures to a service where others will do the printing for you.

The third thing to consider is that digital cameras make it easy for you to correct and edit photos in your computer, using digital photo editing software. Since they are electronic data, you can upload them directly from your camera to the computer. If you are using a film camera, you can still edit the pictures in the computer, but you have the added step of scanning each one into your computer, or of having a photo printing service do this for you.

Your choice between a film camera and a digital camera represents an individual preference. The brave new world of digital cameras has much to attract the technology buff, but traditionalists will doubtless prefer the excellent film cameras. Both types are here to stay.

Finding A Digital Camera Online

The great international market bazaar known as the Internet has rapidly made inroads on the territory of traditional brick and mortar retailers, and has in fact become the preferred shopping venue for millions of consumers. The Internet allows people to shop a their convenience from the comfort of their homes without spending money on gas and time fighting traffic.

Internet shopping also allows consumers to comparison shop online, reviewing the features of different items and finding the best prices. While there are, of course, things that should not be purchased online like perishable foods or live animals, it would be very hard to run a search for a non-perishable item an not find someone, somewhere ., who is selling it on their website.

Concerns About Shopping Online

Electronic items are especially in demand for online purchase, and many thousands of people have bought or considered buying a digital camera online. While the chances of getting scammed when purchasing a high-end item like a digital camera online do exist, they are probably greater than the chances of being cheated by a regular store or by purchasing a camera through the classifieds.

Internet retailers, like traditional ones, live and die with their customer base, and if they cannot get repeat business, will be doomed. Being conned when you purchase you digital camera online guarantees you will not be a return customer, and also guarantees bad publicity for the seller.

People buy digital cameras for different reasons; environmentally conscious consumers like them because there are no polluting chemicals involved in the production of digital photos. Others like them because they allow instant viewing of a photograph, and because there are digital camera software photos which can turn even the most amateur photographers into a budding Ansel Adams.

If you're considering buying a digital camera online, you can feel good both about doing you small part to protect the environment, and about owning a technology which appears to be the future of amateur photography. While your digital camera online purchase may not get you the superlative quality photographs that professional photographers create with traditional cameras and darkrooms, it will get you started, and the digital camera technology is improving by leaps and bounds.

What To Look For In A Digital Camera

When shopping for your digital camera on line, research its storage capacity and pixilation; the greater its pixelation number, the better the sharpness and detailing of your photos will be. But the price you pay for a digital camera online will increase as its pixelation does.

The number of photos your digital camera can store is determined by its storage capacity; however, you can always purchase extra storage capacity by getting an additional flash card, just like you can buy extra memory for your personal computer. The very first digital cameras could hold up to thirty photos, making them competitive with 36-picture rolls of 35mm photographic film.

Today, however, even digital cameras priced in the medium range will store a hundred of more photographs. Once you've settled on ho much pixilation and storage capacity you need, and found the camera website offering it at the best price, you should be ready to buy your digital cameral online!

Where can I find a used SLR Film Camera for cheap?

I need an SLR film camera for a black and white photography class where we will be developing our own film in the darkroom. It is not a hobby I have yet fallen in love with the hobby yet, so I would obviously not want to pay more than around one hundred dollars for a camera, is this doable????

Do-able, yes; practical, NO; sensible, NO; wise, NO!

Don't look for cheap; you'll get what you pay for. Getting a cheap camera will be a handicap in the long run and for the duration of the course. A cheap camera will not offer you the features you can have with a camera like the Nikon N80.

Get a good and reliable camera; don't work with junk. Be willing to spend at least $250 or a little more and you will NOT regret it. If you buy from eBay or a pawn shop... you might get "burned" with defective gear and you'll waste time, effort and money!

Go to www.keh.com and look for a Nikon N80, a very, very versatile camera (considered the Poor Man's Pro Camera); it can be used as a manual camera, semi-auto (in either aperture priority OR shutter speed priority) or totally automatic. You can use it with manual focus OR automatic focus (expecially if you don't have 20/20 vision); it also has a diopter adjustment if you have a slight vision impairment or wear glasses (or contact lenses). It sets the ISO for you, advance the film and rewind the film as you take the last shot. The BEST feature is that it has Average Metering (like manual cameras) and Matrix Metering plus Spot Metering (this is an extrememly valuable feature for difficult shot like when your subject is standing with the light coming from behind, so you don't get silhouettes). It is a no-nonsense camera and is made ergonomically. You'll want to keep this camera after you finish the classes, believe me.

I also recommend the Nikkor AF 28-105mm f/3.5-5.6D lens, but if you cannot afford it, go for the older but equally as good lens, the Nikkor AF 35-105mm f/3.5-5.D-macro, which is just as good but a bit more economical (make sure it says either micro OR macro on the lens... don't get the lens that is NOT for macro photography. You can use these as for wide angle (28-35mm), regular lens (45-55mm), a portrait lens (85-90mm) and as a short telephoto lens (105mm) and as a macro lens!

If you REALLY want to skimp and get a really cheap lens, go for the Nikkor AF 28-70mm f/3.5-5.6D lens. It's the best of the more affordable lenses, and it's a Nikkor lens... made by NIKON!

Other great features: a built-in flash (great for fill-in flash, or up to about 6 feet), has a hot shoe for a regular flash, and an on-demand grid lines to help you keep horizons level when shooting landscapes or seascapes. All of the features you need to grow with and a camera that you will NOT outgrow anytime soon. Check out the links below.

Also get the instructions manual and Thom Hogan's Book on the N80/F80, which has many, many great suggestions and tips on how to get the most of this fantastic camera.

Remember to check with www.keh.com for the camera and the lenses. If you don't see what you want, go back in a day or two; they're always getting new merchandise in. Be ready to buy once you see what you want because the cameras and lenses do not stay very long on their shelves. They're also a long established place and they ARE very reputable (not one of those fly-by-night places).

This camera will enable you to learn and get great images, and your classmates will envy you. That's a FACT.

Good luck and best wishes!
