Print vs Digital Photography

In both print and digital photography the user of the camera has a wide range of options.

Pros of digital:

The user of the camera gets instant feedback from their camera. The person who took the photo doesn't have to worry if they got the perfect shot or now

The photographer doesn't have to worry about how much film they have.

Waiting on the camera to print the photo will not be an issue because you can print the digital photos you've taken after you're done taking photos.

A wide range of digital cameras were created to be highly portable to the users standards.

Digital photos are much easier to share with people who aren't nearby, for example a family member or a friend in another country.

Cons of digital:

The complexity of your camera may be too much for you or someone else to handle.

A computer is required if you want to upload and/or print your photos.

The faster your internet connection, the faster the photo uploads. But if you have slow wifi like most people do then good luck.

Digital cameras aren't cheap, I've seen some that go up to five hundred or eight hundred dollars in stores like target.

Digital cameras have a certain amount of time before they have to recharge which wastes the photographers time on taking more photos.

Pros of print:

No battery life, can go on much longer.

Prints the photo for you so you don't have to upload the photos to the internet and have them be stolen.

Film/Print cameras have a lower initial cost, so the person using it won't have to invest too much money into their camera.

Better at catching black and white photos in a more detailed level, usually in a digital camera you have to use photoshop or a program to make it black and white (unless the camera allows that feature).

Film can still be at a higher resolution.

Cons of print:

Film can take a great amount of space.

After purchasing the camera you have a never ending payment to buy film for your camera.

Film has to be developed in a dark room.

You're dependent on your lab to edit images if you don't have a dark room.

Print cameras can be heavier than digital cameras.
