Currently the Sony CyberShot DSC-30 is an excellent low cost digital camera that records at 1.3 megapixel. I have been using this camera with excellent success. Sharon uses the Sony CyberShot DSC-S70 which has a 2.1 megapixel resolution. In our early days of promoting the digital camera, critics would suggest that the orb anomaly was a result of defeats in the digital camera. Lens flare is still common when inexperience photographers point their camera toward the sun and snap photos, but this happens with film cameras and is not unique to the digital formats.
Critics claim that the resolution is too grainy, but today digital images are equal to film images.
Unfortunately the critics are not updated on their digital technology. In most cases, digital images are better and more reliable than the chemical methods of film prints. Almost every major photography magazines now include major articles on digital photography. The digital technology is her to stay and is being acknowledged and promoted by major photographic organizations and schools. Digital format has some benefits over film format that skeptics refuses to acknowledge.
