Why I’ve Embraced Digital and Still Hold On to My Old Camera
Summary
The debate between traditional film cameras and digital technology continues. Many wonder which is superior: the classic allure of film or the convenience and versatility of digital storage.
The Choice: Film vs. Digital
Having been a photographer for more than half my life, I stuck with film for many years. About seven years ago, I began incorporating digital photography into my work. My first digital camera was a simple point-and-shoot with a 640x480 pixel resolution. This Fujifilm DX-7, enhanced with a larger memory card, served me well for several years, even allowing close-up shots with its macro switch.
However, I remained deeply satisfied with the capabilities of my Pentax SLR collection. The joy of using the best lenses, employing zoom options, adjusting shutter speed to capture or blur motion, controlling aperture for the perfect depth of field, and the superior quality of 35mm negatives or slides kept me loyal to my heavy, solid metal cameras.
The Digital Revolution
Everything changed with the advent of DSLR cameras from Nikon and Canon. I eagerly visited local camera shops, debating the merits of various models and seeking firsthand feedback online. When Pentax released their DSLR, I couldn’t resist the urge to upgrade.
The Pentax *ist DS offered a host of advantages over smaller digital cameras:
- Compatibility with my existing lenses
- Full control over speed and aperture
- Instant image review
- Ability to shoot multiple photos and select the best at no extra cost
- High 6-megapixel resolution for large prints
- Heavier weight for steadier shots
- Utilization of all my filters, flashlights, lenses, and accessories
- Fast USB connections for storing images on my PC
- Storage capacity of up to 1GB on an SD card (around 380 JPEGs)
- Selective photo printing
Why I Keep My Film Cameras
Despite the perks of digital SLRs, I still hold onto my 35mm film cameras. Partly for sentimental reasons, but also because traditional photography demands patience and deliberation. Without instant results, crafting an excellent photograph becomes a meditative process.
In the end, both digital and film have their unique offerings, and each has its place in the art of photography.
