A new revolution in photography has been growing in the last few decades and has begun to be widely accepted as resolution quality increased and cost decreased. The evolution of digital cameras has brought photography within the grasp of the everyday consumer. Walk into any local camera store today and you will see a number of 35mm and digital cameras displayed together. But the question remains as to what type of camera you choose and why? The 35mm cameras requires film, developing, and expensive lens; while the digital cameras requires batteries, storage media, and software to fully enjoy all of their functions.
             The digital photographer has many advantages that the 35mm photographer does not. Pictures taken by a digital camera are stored on a removable film called "Storage Media." The storage capacities for the media range from 16 megabytes to as large as 4 gigabytes. The picture capacity of the media varies based on size of the media and the cameras resolution. The average digital camera purchased to day is 4 mega pixels with a 512 megabyte storage media. This digital camera is capable of storing 500 pictures continuously before needing to replace the film. For a 35mm photographer they would need to stop every 36 pictures and replace the film before they continue shooting. This process would need to be repeated 14 times, before the 35mm camera is able to reach the equivalent number of pictures.
             After the film has been used to capacity it needs to be developed to see the pictures taken. The process is very different between the two types of film. The 14 rolls of 35mm film need to be taken to the local developer at an average cost of 6.00 per roll, totaling $84.00 before taxes. The digital film would need to be connected to a computer and downloaded for no cost. After the 35mm photographer uses and develops the film, they now need to purchase new 14 new films at cost of $3.75 per roll, totaling $49.98 before tax. The total cos...
