Interested in photography this is a great place to be for information and deals.
Digital photography has almost completely taken over from the more traditional form using film in the last few years. As digital cameras have improved in the quality of the images they can produce they've also got ever smaller and the prices have shrunk at a similar rate.
For most people who want to take holiday snaps, pictures of the children growing up and that sort of thing the convenience of digital photography compared to using film means there's no contest. It has to be digital.
Now that digital cameras have shrunk to the extent that there's one built in to most mobile phones even the stand alone camera's becoming an endangered species. There is still a noticeable difference in the picture quality from a dedicated camera and that produced by a phone camera but the gap is closing.
The difference is down to pixels of course. The more pixels the better the quality of your picture so in looking for a camera you should always go for the one with the highest number of pixels. The highest you can afford anyway because the price does tend to rise with the number of pixels.
Photography is an art form and a lot of serious photographic artists still prefer to use film cameras rather than digital. They feel that there's more scope for the skill of the photographer to influence the final picture. When you look at the kind of work such people produce it's hard to argue with their view. You'd have to be an expert yourself to argue with them anyway!
