Today, digital photography is a rapidly growing consumer entertainment with many advantages over traditional film-based cameras, including instantly reviewing, deleting, annotating or classifying images at the top end of the digital photo scale, speed and ease of use, and quality. Although some film cameras can work without batteries, the flash is minus, most consumers are not worried about use in wet or bad weather conditions, and with all the benefits it offers, they are drawn to digital cameras.
Therefore, the entire photography industry is changing to embrace different consumer preferences, including less desire for printed photos. The printed photo market from the film in the US rose to over 30 billion in 2000 and fell below 26 billion in 2004. Initially, there were problems with fast service photographers “cropping” to “force” digital images - to properly print on the same paper used by film cameras as more and more people go digital, services and products are emerging to make it easier to make your memories electronic.
Some people think that the picture is not just a picture if you can't put it in a frame or store it in a photo album. However, most of today's young people are more comfortable with technology than their parents and grandparents. It is not uncommon for a university student to feel safer than paper with electronic images.
No one is sure whether digital photography will reduce our demand for photo printing, but the future of photography is guaranteed to be digital. Also, more photos are taken than ever since they can be easily viewed and removed from digital cameras. Whether you're partial for electronics or shoe box image storage, get ready to make photos easier, better and cheaper in the coming years, and of course keep smiling.
