In the photography market today, digital cameras outsell traditional film cameras by a large margin, and digital photography is more popular than it has ever been, and it will only grow and evolve to become more popular.
A digital camera is just one part of the photography process beginning with the actual real-world view through to the final snapshot that you capture. The main part in the process is a digital format image made of pixels.
A digital photograph can be made in several ways. It can be made directly with a digital camera, or you can also scan negatives, slide and prints to convert conventional photos into a digital format. It is also possible to capture a frame of video and save it as a still photographic digital image.
Once captured, a digital photo is in a format that makes it easy to apply various special effects to it on your computer with photo editing software. Then you will be able to do almost anything you want to your photographs. You can crop them, correct red-eyes, and change the colors, contrast, anything else. You can even add or completely remove parts of the image. You can actually put a person in the photograph that wasn't there before. We've done this with one of my family reunion pictures where an aunt couldn't attend, so we edited her into the family picture.
Once you're happy with how your picture looks, and you've made any edits that you wanted, then you can then send the photo to your printer or use an online service to print them. It's easier than ever to share you pictures with family and friends by email, or post it on a website, and much more.
Also, a digital camera will most likely save you money in the long term because you don't need to buy film and then pay to have it developed. There are positives and negatives to traditional film cameras as well as digital cameras. Digital cameras let you see instantly how your photos look, but the resolution isn't as great as images produced from film. Digital cameras better for the environment, because they don't use some of the toxic chemicals that traditional cameras need to develop film.
