Which do you prefer digital or 35 mm camera?

I so much prefer a digial camera. Priting photos just cost so darn much and not only that but I have a new baby so I take SOO MANY pictures. Plus if you mess up you can always delete. Or if your husband takes a picture of you while you are sleeping with your mouth wide open, so much easier to erase the evidence :)

I only have a small digital camera and I have not been able to get it to work yet.However I will figure it out till I can afford a bigger one.Every time I have used a 35 MM camera it will not rewind and I open it and end up exposing all the film.

Digital. I own a Canon PowerShot A540 model. It was around $200 and it's a great camera. I am looking into buying a new lens for better close ups of my gardening AND THE END RESULTS ETC. iT ONLY TAKES SOME GOOD PHOTGRAPHIC PAPER AND MY PRINTER TO MAKE THE SAME QUALITY PHOTOS FOR A SCAp book as a 35MM camera. So I now stick with my digital for all my photo taking opportunities. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Although I own both, I don't use my 35mm anymore because the digital is so much more convenient and cost effective. I used to take double pictures of everything with my 35mm, just to make sure that one of them would come out, and even then sometimes I got two bad pictures instead of one. When I developed the film, I never knew how many good pictures, if any would be on the roll. Then I would often want to scan one or two onto my computer. With the digital camera, I can see whether or not my picture is good the first time. Instead of taking every picture twice, I can take it once, or twenty times if needed, until I get just the shot I want. I can easily delete the bad ones and make room for the good ones, meaning no more wasted film. I can easily upload them onto my computer, and now I burn all of my photos onto a disc for storage.

Well, i would surely prefer the digital camera....C'mon its the tech age, those things rule. But for photographers, as your friend is one, like the 35mm camera. The 35mm camera requires more skill so actual photographers use that.

I have a digital camera, and I love it! It is so much easier to take the *perfect* shot, as you can edit it, check it, reshoot, all on th espot. Nothing is worse than paying out for a roll of film to be developed, and then discovering blurred, or off centre shots. you can't go back and retake the photo, and you have just wasted that money. With my digital, I can always get the shot I want, and then I have the ability to print them out in any size, and as many as I like. I would never go back to a 35mm camera. The downside is, on my last vacation, I was really over using my old camera, and the battery went flat before the day was over, so I went and bought a disposable 35mm to get me through the day. I've since bought a better digital though, and this problem has never happened again :)

I had a really great 35mm camera, which I loved and never had a problem with it. But now I have a digital camera and I really like the idea of looking at the photos first, its brilliant.

i like my digital much better then the 35mm. i always had a bad habit of forgetting the film to get developed. with the digital i burn them to a disk and thats that.

I own several cameras, both digital and 35mm and I prefer 35mm. I have a good SLR so it's rare that I make bad photos. Either way I can always use them for something. I also only develop the roll and scan in the negatives (or positives depending on the film I'm using) with my Epson scanner. Some labs also only let you pay for the photos which did work out, which saves on money. Not many places still do this though. I also use 120 film (medium format) and Polaroid film. All of this is still better than digital for me.

Hey, I use my sister Inlaws digital camera alot, I have a 35 mm camera too, which has been ignored alot lol. I find the digital to be more beneficial, I can delete if I have too and take another shot many times over without having to worry about expenses and wasted film, I can transfer straight to my computer as well and not have to worry about buying film, If I needed it unexpectantly...

Hi... i had an old SLR camera that i gave away...LOL... and i have my Sony Cybershot 5.1 Megapixel camera since 2006. It will turn two years old this coming June. I definitely prefer digital since i am a graphics artist and working with digital raw pictures are way better than scanning and fixing an old photo... the bigger the dpi/resolution, the better. Now, i am happily, documenting parties, vacation, get-togethers and keeping a digital copy in my hard drive. so happy digicams came into reality:-D how about you? do you like collect photos too?

Hello mother! If I was more talented with the camera like Danny then I would probally prefer the 35 mm but I'm not So I like the digital camera ,so I can see what I'm working with lol. I do however love your new digital camera I'm very jealous of it! It takes super pictures!

I love my digital. You can do pretty much anything with your pictures, print them, post them, e-mail them, edit them, save them on CD or other storage. See what you did right away and delete the bad ones. It's great!

Cheap and mid-range digitals pack a lot more into the camera for the money than expensive film cameras: more zoom, macro, face detection...heaps more. But cheap film cameras give much better results than digitals costing up to $300. It doesn't matter so much if you are never going to print anything bigger than a photo sticker or a 6x4 postcard, but if you ever want to have an enlargement made, you will soon see the difference. Of course, many people don't print their pictures at all nowadays, and so they never see the difference, except when shooting in low light conditions, when the high noise of a digital image can look woeful. The money savings with digital cameras is really due to the fact that so few get printed: if you delete a pic you don't like and take another in its place, you will finish up with just as many photos: more in fact, because the apparent zero cost of digital tempts us to blaze away knowing we are never going to run out or have to buy more film. Printing costs are down because we don't do it, not because we don't print bad shots. On the other hand, what was a 10 minute trip to the shop to pick up some prints can now translate to hours in from=nt of screen, compiling, adjusting, editing and managing thousands of digital files. That is a cost we didn't have with film; and don't get me started on the cost of printer supplies! I could print 5 rolls of film for the cost of just one tank of ink, and my printer takes 6 tanks... and batteries: I used to replace batteries in my EOS 5 SLR once a year. Now I have to carry a couple of spares for each camera, and a couple of high-speed chargers just to go out for the day! Enough blather: I shoot digital; my film cameras gather dust.

I think most people would choose a digital camera over a 35mm or any other camera that uses film.I myself prefer the old type of camera but realise that as time is of the essence I would rather use a digital camera.I once had a clockwork 8mm cine camera and after some time I sold it. I was sorry later when I read about an artist who was using such a camera for making "Art" animation films.What I say is use digital cameras especially if its for business,but use 35mm and other film cameras for fun and recreation and perhaps for a feeling of the old times.

Personally I definately prefer a Digital Camera anymore to a regular camera. What I enjoy about a digital camera is that you can see right away what the picture is going to look like, and you can delete what you do not want to keep as well. I also like that you can download your pictures right away into a Computer and print them off etc. or send them via Email to anyone you want as well.

I'd prefer a digital camera. With the 35 mm camera I have to figure out the settings, and not only that, have to find a dark place to remove the film, go to the photo place, and buy the prints, half which may not turn out because someone's thumb is in the way or the lighting is wrong. With digital camera if I can save $500 to buy a good one, I can see what it looks like before I shoot it. I can upload the results to my hard drive, I can put them on a Cd, and when I like I can print what I want after removing the red eye. If I do not have a proper printer, I can just go down to Walmart or have them printing at less the price than I would have had with 35 mm films.

I prefer using a digital camera too. I don't mind using a 35 mm occasionally, but I definitely love being able to preview and delete the bad pictures, and it's so nice to not have to wait to get them developed or anything. I love being able to just put them right on the computer and print them, and also not have to pay for rolls of film all the time and the cost of having them developed.

I've never owned a digital camera, but I think I would like one better than a 35 mm camera. Film is so expensive, and with a digital camera I wouldn't have to buy any. Also, I could print photos off my computer.

I think the analogue one.
