I do love snapping pictures, so I appreciate developments in digital photography. You can produce splendid images of Grandma or the Grand Canyon, suitable for framing. Which is not to say that film is ready to surrender the quality crown just yet.
Digital cameras are still too expensive and clumsy to use.
Because digital cameras electronically store images on memory cards instead of film, they claim certain advantages. High-end models feature an LCD screen so you can review the pictures, expunge the losers and reshoot. Moreover, you can use cables or memory-card readers to display images on your computer monitor or TV screen instantly. Once files reside in the PC, you can employ clever image-enhancement software to dress up the photos. You can print pictures on a color inkjet or, better still, on a photo-quality printer.
