Much of what will be discussed here regarding digital cameras and digital photography is considered generic. Digital photographs may be immediately downloaded to your computer or displayed on a monitor. They may be quickly added to PowerPoint presentations, documents or Web pages. If your intent is to capture images for high resolution print media, digital images still cannot come close to the quality of film. There are times when technical considerations may dictate that traditional photography will better achieve your ends.
Digital cameras work best on still images.
The required distance often makes the shots ineffective for displaying desired details. A traditional camera with a wide-angle lens may be warranted. Images Require Special Lighting - Digital cameras operate more like video cameras than traditional film cameras. They are very sensitive to light. In fact, you should not aim digital cameras directly into the sun or other bright lights as this may damage the chip.
