Pros and cons of digital photography

PROS
1.Digital photos and prints are versatile. The digital photographs that you take can be enclosed in e-mail messages, burned as CD or DVD slide shows, or displayed as your PC’s Windows Desktop and screen saver. Of course, you can also print them, and with today’s special inkjet papers, your images can end up on items like greeting cards and T-shirt transfers.
2.Look, Ma, no developing! With a digital camera, you have practically instant access to your photographs. Save yourself the trip to the photo store — even a one-hour photo lab can’t match the three minutes that it takes to connect your camera to your PC (with a Universal Serial Bus [USB] cable) and download your images to your hard drive.
3.Extra digital information is no charge. Today’s cameras save quite a bit of information with every shot you take. This information is called metadata, and along with the date and time the shot was taken, you’ll also likely find information about the make and model of the camera, as well as the settings that were used.
4.Editing is easy with your PC. Imagine everything that can go wrong with a picture: a bad exposure, a case of red eye, or perhaps a tree sprouting from someone’s head. With a digital photograph, you can reduce or eliminate these problems; with the proper editing, a bad picture becomes mediocre, and a good picture can become a work of art.
5.You can manage your photographs on location. Imagine being able to review a shot as soon as it’s taken. With a traditional film camera, you’re stuck with what you take, and you don’t see the results until that roll of film has been developed. A digital camera, however, gives you the freedom to manageyour images.
CONS:

Digital cameras cost a lot more than comparable film cameras.

Generally, image quality may not be as good and the size of the enlargements may be limited because of the digital camera's resolution.

There's always a time delay from when you turn the camera on until it's ready, as well as from the instant you press the shutter and the picture is actually captured.

Digital cameras eat batteries, so you'll always be buying or recharging them.

It's difficult to see anything in the LCD viewfinder in bright sunlight.
