I prefer.....

My man bought me a digital camera for Christmas. I really like as it comes in handy. But the artist in me loves my film camera. I really miss working in the darkroom at school. I dug dodging and burning and going through the many processes of manually manipulating a photo to my liking I saddened by the discontinuation of dark room supplies, especially Type-55 film, it was beautiful

I love my digital camera

I prefer digital, since I'm pretty impatient

i prefer to look at film, but i only have a digital. i don't take that many pictures and i'm not a photographer, so...

Both, depends on what I'm doing.

The digital is fine but my heart is with film - dark room processing is going to be an unknown to the upcomming kids

Digital!~~~


right now im lovin my Canon A720is

Nothing wrong with that...and your very good at it When I was in school I took alot of photographyu classes but I was not able afford to take the more advanced digital classes like I wanted to. The few digital classes I did take were boring and did not give us much room for creativity-just the mechanics of it. I love the darkroom and developing film but I wish I had more indepth knowledge of Photoshop and all the other software that deals with digital cameras, particulary dslr's. I don't own one but it's on my list.

And digital is more forgiving of mistakes. When developing b/w film you can do all the dodging and burning you want but you can't get rid of the bubbles or scratches or whatever that is already imbedded in the image during the developing process. With digital you can scan that shit and blot it out with a patch tool and that it I saved a lot of good images with just photoshop when it came time for midterms and finals

That's crap.

Though digital cameras certainly have the edge on convenience, I have an old Canon (my first good camera, bought with money from my first job) that takes such beautiful pictures that I can't bear to part with it.

digital because it's easy and quick enough for me.
I never liked sending my film away to have it developed and I've never had the whole dark room experience, it looks fun but way over my head

well, this part was!

You can not take a bad picture with a film camera. No matter what, it always comes out looking like art!

Back in the late 80s when I was in college learning darkroom stuff, I was highly allergic to the chemicals and had no money, so I never learned anything, due to my fear of making costly mistakes I studied for 3 years, and never put my SLR on manual, would you believe it digital lets me experiment.

Oh absolutely. Neither is better than the other imo it just depends on that the producer of the photo prefers to do to get to the finished image. I love working with my hands and creating the photo that way but in the end I can be a perfectionist when I want the image to look a certain way and where darkroom falls short digital takes over

I like that I can instantly see/delete pics on the digital, but I prefer the quality of my 35mm...

I always knew photoshop, since version 1.0 I feel like suddenly cameras caught up and it's all come together! I like an instant result
