5 top reasons to go digital!

by Sherri on March 6, 2007

Are you having a hard time deciding on whether or not to go digital? I did. Why? Because, I loved looking at my slides on a slide sorter. I loved my Nikon N90s. I didn't want to purchase another camera. And I didn't want to endure the digital learning curve. But, the truth is, there are more reasons to go digital than there are not to. Here are 5 top reasons to jump on the digital bandwagon. 
  1. Instant feedback. You can view your images as you shoot, enabling you to become a better photographer quicker.
  2. Delete as you go. Unlike shooting with film, you can delete the obvious bad images as you shoot.
  3. More affordable. Once your purchase your camera and lenses, your expenses are minimal. I purchased a digital SLR that was compatable with my N90s lenses, which also kept the costs down a bunch. Check out dpreview.com for digial camera reviews.
  4. Many ISO settings to choose from. You don't have to buy different types of film for different shooting situations.
  5. Shooting data recorded. No more writing down what you did to capure your images. The data is recorded as you shoot.
There are many more benefits to shooting digital. But, hopefully, this partial list will jumpstart your decision making process!
