Anyways, to get back to the topic at hand, he one day came into office with a digital camera and showed it off to us. Now, having never before seen an actual camera, one of the first things I did when it came into my hands was to look for the film housing. But try looking for some crevice like that in a digital camera which more closely resembles a block of shiny metal! Needless to say, I was perplexed much to the amusement of my colleagues.

But then, it felt good to be holding a digital camera in my hands. Admittedly, film cameras were still not out of fashion, but digital cameras were slowly but steadily making their presence felt. And why not? A digital camera has so many advantages over a conventional film based camera. For one thing, a digital camera does not use film, instead, capturing the image directly onto the hard disk or a flash based memory. Not only does this help one save on repeated costs, it also enables easy conversion and mailing of photographs in digital format. So, with a digital camera, you no longer need printers, printing accessories or even scanners. Just connect, upload and share your photographs with your friends and loved ones.

Of course there are those who feel that a digital camera takes away from the essence of photography – the artistic stage where the photographer is able to touch-up on the photographs during the development stage in order to highlight a few factors or even to conceal any flaws. But with the omnipresence of digital image manipulation tools like Photoshop among a host of others, a digital camera is a potent tool that can make an artist of even the most clumsy of us. So the next time you want to go in for a good camera, make sure you go for a digital camera.
