Photography. My passion and, from now on, my tragedy. . . (Cash hints accepted)

Btw. Some people will wonder, why did I start this thread?

Well. . .

Uhm. . .

Truth is, I dont know either!

Just wanted to mention it.

It's purpose is NOT by any mean to beg money of anyone- just as I read through it I noticed it's written in a bit that kind of way; I'm sorry. To repeat:

I AM NOT WANTING OR BEGGING MONEY OF ANYONE HERE AT ALL!!!

He´s 15. He either got the dates wrong or he lied earlier this year when he said he was 15...

Mow lawns or something to get some money.

Or, become a real photographer and go with 35 mm. Canon has a great line of film cameras that are, due to the digital craze, very reasonably priced, and are actually vastly superior cameras.

Long live film.

But isn't that a bit more expiensive in the long run? Film, developing... bad shots could end up costing you a lot. With digital you just hit delete. Plus you can show them on the back of your camera, or d/l them to your laptop and show them to the world.

You can also take short video clips now-a days too. I've heard that some of the higher priced digtal ones can take photos better than the 35mms

Man, I need a new camera, lol

Expensive, but much higher quality. Digital, regardless of the number of megapixels, creates a pixel-by-pixel digital imprint of the subject. The spaces between the pixels are filled by erronious color, just like white noise is used via digital recording. In that sense, megapixel count is exactly like the sampling rate on a digital recording device. The higher the count, the greater the quality, but you will never have the true image fidelity due to the filler used.

Film captures the actual image via light, which actually burns the image onto the film. It is exactly like analog recording, which captures the actual sound wave on the tape, not a digital representation of the wave along preset sampling points.

It is true that digital cameras will show you what your picture looks like instantly. It is also less expensive to print the photographs, but you sacrifice quality for convenience.
