Digital CamerasEnter The World of Digital Cameras

Question by oceɑηɑ ♡☼☽: why would someone prefer a film camera over a digital camera?
i was with my friend the other day. her uncle is a photographer so she knows a lot about cameras and has a bunch of his old ones, and she was like “i love old film cameras” so what im wondering is why would someone prefer an old film camera? aren’t they more complicated? she owns a new digital camera too, so why would someone prefer to go through the trouble and process the film and everything…

Answer by fhotoace
Actually film cameras are LESS complicated.

You have only a few options.

Shutter speed
Lens aperture
Light meter readings
Lens selection
Film selection.

That is it.

Digital cameras have many more options and thus can be more complicated.

Answer by Shawn C
Applied is “old school” photography. Where you develop your own pictures in a dark room. Digital is (obviously) all digital and might include digital manipulation of photos such as with photoshop.

Question by Troy D: Digital camera shows low battery with new batteries?
I have a Kodak DX6440 digital camera. I just put new batteries that were fully charged in it and it shows low battery. I know the batteries are ok because they just came off the charger, I tried 2 others just to make sure it wasn’t defective batteries but it’s still doing it. The batteries are the hight volt ones especially made for digital cameras. Please serious answers, no “there is something wrong with your camera” since that’s obvious. Only answer if you know what it might be….

Most point and shoot cameras have no optical view finder. You will use the LCD screen to view the subject that you are photographying. For one thing, I would like to caution you on buying a second hand camera from bidding sites. If you really want to buy a used camera check with a reputable camera store that sells them. They check them out before they buy them. Actually, you may be better off saving up an additional 75 or 100 bucks and buy a new camera that would come with a 1 year warranty. Good luck.

Question by solaris: Hey Everyone! Camera query – needs URGENT answering! Cheers!?
I have a “Nikon COOLPIX 5700 Digital Camera”.

It’s American, but is being used in Europe. Whenever I connect it to the computer via a USB, the following message bubble appears:

“A USB device has malfunctioned and is exceeding the power limits of its Hub Port. To re-enable the port, disconnect the Hard Ware and click reset”.

Any help greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

(Have tried Camera on other computers and it HASN’T worked.)

If you are not using a hub then it sounds like you have a fault on either the camera or the usb cable. If it is not under warranty then you should buy a memory card reader and transfer your pictures by removing the memory card from your camera and plugging it into the card reader. You will probably find this is a quicker means of transferring your pictures anyway.

Question by Kunoichi26: Candlelight photography with a traditional camera?
I am a complete beginner at photography and I want to experiment with an idea I have for a photo. The lightsource is going to be candlelight and I want to know how to go about doing that. I have looked on the net and I can only find tips on candlelight photography with a digital camera, which I don’t have. Can anybody give me any tips, or are the two cameras handled similarly? Thanks.

Answer by Terisu
The only difference would be that in a film camera you have to choose your film speed (ISO) and type to go with the candlelight, and in a digital camera, you can choose whatever ISO and white balance you want. I’d go with the fastest tungsten film you can find, or use a blue filter. Standard daylight film without a filter will give you orange pictures.
