Digital photography is the number one choice among photographers today. A few major advantages of digital photography are:
- The elimination of paper, you only print what you like.
- Immediate results, you can see your shot instantly.
- Computer touch-ups and manipulation.
The process is so simple with a little practice any amateur will be able to do an excellent job. You simply take your photos and import your digital images to your computer or laptop.
Now you can use the digital files to only print the digital photos you want instead of wasting an entire roll of film to get one or two great shots.
Next, you can save them to your hard drive, or burn them to a CD. A growing number of amateurs and professionals are also uploading them to online storage vaults for safekeeping.
After you are done with the last batch of digital photos on your camera you can delete them from your camera’s media card and start all over again.
To learn more about which types of cameras are available to suit your needs, you can conduct an online search. Begin at comparison sites like My Simon at www.mysimon.com.
