Digital Photography- Instant Photography In A Fast-paced World
Digital photography was introduced in the consumer market in 1900 by Kodak. Back then the pricing made sure that it was out of the general consumer’s reach but good enough for the professionals and photojournalists. However, during the past 16 years, the digital photography market has been in an overdrive causing many photography companies to wind up their film models.

In 2004, Kodak again was the first to announce the discontinuation of production of the reload able 35mm camera. In January 2006, Nikon discontinued all models with the exception of two film models- the low end FM 10 and the high end Nikon F6. The same year in May, Canon followed suit. With the digital cameras offering great features, it is no wonder that the demand for film version of cameras is going downhill.

Instant photography results are the biggest advantage of digital photography. A with a memory card that can hold up to 600 pictures is a far cry from the days of getting a roll of 24 or 36 photographs developed. An additional attraction is that the photographer can immediately view the picture taken and delete it if not satisfied with the result and can take another picture right then, something unthinkable in film cameras.

A can be used for both still and movie photography. To videotape a special event you just have to push a button to convert your still camera into a movie camera.

The speed of is unmatched.
