Digital cameras are so much more convenient and faster than normal film cameras and film developing.
You can instantly view your pictures and not have to wait and pay to get your film developed. Image quality is what separates the cheap digital cameras and the more expensive cameras. The Sony Cyber-Shot S70 is one of the best cameras I have ever seen. It has an amazing 3.3 megapixel sensor. It costs a fortune, but I can say it is worth every penny.
