Compare and Contrast Digital and Film Cameras
Compare and Contrast
Digital and Film Cameras Cameras, they come in many forms, from digital, from pocket cameras, to full sized full function cameras. Cameras have become a part of our everyday lives, and with the progression of modern technology. Cameras have become even more user friendly and affordable for many to own. As the camera moves into the digital era, the film camera is becoming a distant memory. Digital and film cameras have the same final product, but the way to get there is much different. So we are going to contrast digital and film cameras. The start of it all was the film camera consisted of three main parts, the lens, the body, and the film. The camera has been around for over 150 years. Advancements have changed cameras over the years from single exposures taking a very long time to capture one frame. As time progressed, the process of creating a worthy exposure has greatly increased. The first Kodak roll film camera patented in the late eighteen hundreds was just the beginning of the user-friendly camera movement. By the beginning of the nineteen hundreds the first still camera was introduced, followed in the late nineteen twenties general electric created the first modern flash bulb. As years passed many advancements had been introduced, but another milestone for cameras was the introduction of the first one step instant camera by Polaroid in the seventies. The next step was just as important, the first point and shoot auto focus camera was put on the market in the late seventies. Then in the mid eighties the Cannon Corporation introduced the first digital still camera. With the arrival of the digital camera, more people than ever where using cameras. So, what is the difference between digital and film cameras? The task of the photograph with a film camera or digital camera is an easy task, the part that was difficult in the beginning was finding the proper materials to create an image that lasted.
