Digital cameras have many advantages over traditional cameras. Some of these advantages are:
* After instantly reviewing the picture, it can be retaken if there is a problem. The photographer simply changes a few settings.
* Taking many shots of the same thing using different settings and angles can be done inexpensively, and you print only the best ones. This is too expensive to accomplish with film cameras.
* Those who want to take hundreds of photos for various uses without printing them can do this at minimal cost.
* Storing large quantities of digital media on the newer computers is much cheaper than film.
* No degradation occurs when copying images from one medium to another.
* You can view pictures on your computer without having to scan them first.
* With a consumer-grade printer and a computer, you can print your own photos.
* Film cameras of equal quality are often much larger than digital cameras.
* While it is necessary to change film after 24 to 36 shots, you can store hundreds of images on the same card in a digital camera.
* With many of the new cameras, you can view your photos on the television with an AV-out function that is included.
* It is easy and inexpensive to experiment with the settings on a digital camera. With a film camera, you could use up many rolls of film trying to learn to use it.
* Some printers can communicate directly with your camera, or its memory card; you don't need a computer to print your pictures.
* Digital cameras make it easy to add information to your pictures, such as time and date.
* Sharper images are now possible with digitals due to the anti-shake tools, making tripods nearly obsolete.
* A color darkroom is as close as your computer, and you can now avoid the very expensive photo labs.

Choosing the Best Digital Camera
Today's digital cameras have gone way beyond just point and shoot. They come with dozens of features, meaning you can customize your camera to your specific needs.
Some of the things you will want to look into when purchasing your camera are confusing, so make sure you know what you are looking for when you go shopping.
The quality of the resolution of your photos is determined by the megapixels (mps) of your camera. Tiny dots called pixels make up your digital photos; a megapixel means 1,000 pixels, or 1,000 dots.
The higher the number of pixels your camera has, the better the resolution of your photos. If you want to crop your pictures or plan on printing larger prints, you need to be sure you purchase a camera that can meet those needs.
Optical or digital zooms are available on digital cameras. Optical zoom is like the one on a traditional camera and works the same way -- it goes out, bringing you closer, or in, to take you further away from the subject. A digital zoom takes the picture as it is and enlarges it; this can lose image quality because it is simply enlarging the pixels (dots) of the picture. Pictures may seem blurry or out of focus.
Preserving the image quality can be as simple as turning off the digital zoom feature on your camera. Later, during editing, you can zoom in on a specific part of the photo with much better results.
A manual focus can be a great deal of fun, allowing you to focus in and make different parts of the photo stand out. This allows for a lot of creativity in
your work. And most cameras still have an autofocus, so you can go back to the basics if your aren't feeling extremely creative.
Think about the features that are important to you and look for those features. One important thing to remember is that you will be carrying it around, so consider the size when you purchase your camera.
