Digital Cameras Cvs
Should I buy a Digital SLR camera or a Film SLR camera?
I want to buy a SLR camera, but I’m not sure if I should buy a digital one or not. I already have a regular Sony digital camera that is pretty good. I don’t really ever use a dark room so i would just be sending my film to CVS. Which do you think will be more useful for me. I also do not have a lot of money. I am 15 and I will be working over the summer, thats pretty much all the money I will have.
Oh the reason why I want one is because I go hiking in the Appelation(sp) Mountins and I want to take good photos.
please help me!
any advice is good!
At age 15, I would consider digital as the way to go. Why? You will spend a bit more for the equipment, but save TONS on film and processing fees. Look into a Nikon D40, which costs about $600 with a decent lens (the kit lens) and memory card.
There are a couple of film cameras by Nikon and Canon in the $250 range, with a lens. You might prefer the slightly more advanced cameras with cost in the $400 neighborhood, though, as the fature set is much more comparable to the dSLR’s out there.
If you are looking at a $400 film camera, you then have to buy film and get it processed and prints made. This can cost a minimum of about $10 per roll of 36 (and that’s a deep discount price I found on-line), so you can shoot only 20 rolls of film before you equal the cost of the digital camera. Of course, making your own digital prints can cost money, but you may find that you only print the really good pictures and viewing the others on the monitor is sufficient. With digital, you can take 50 shots of one subject without worrying about the expense, as opposed to limiting yourself by the length of the roll or the cost of the prints. Some will criticize this approach, saying it is no way to learn photography, but I say it is an excellent way to learn photography – so long as you view and analyze each image and learn from your results.
