1. Instant Gratification Knowing digital is fast and actually experiencing it are two different things. When I bought my first digital camera, speed blew me away! I used to wait three days for slides and prints. A print in three minutes is nice. 2. Print Quality My very first digital print was eye-popping. Right out of the camera I got color saturation, sharpening and other visual enhancements I could only get previously by going to a custom photo lab. No scratches, dust or unwanted cropping either. 3. Image Optimization As a kid I played in my dad's black-and-white darkroom. When I switched to color, I missed that creativity. With digital and Photoshop that's all back and on steroids! 4. Anti-shake Shooting It used to be that if you paid big bucks you could have a lens for your SLR that reduced camera shake. With digital, the anti-shake can be applied inexpensively to the sensor inside the camera. For many types of photography you can kiss that awkward tripod goodbye. |
