Digital Cameras are The Way of the Future? Ten years ago you would stand in front of a camera until the photographer could fit everyone into his/her view and then hold your smile for as long as necessary until the flash went off. Nowadays it sounds a little bit different as it goes ‘Ok, hold that pose! Ah perfect, what do you think? Do you want me to delete this and get another one?’. So what brought about the change in the conversations as mentioned above?. A handy invention called digital cameras. Whether you are a professional photographer or someone who just likes taking random pictures, digital cameras are the most useful tools around. As long as you have a memory card big enough to hold as many pictures as you want, and a cable to put the pictures up onto your computer, you can go places with digital cameras. You can take more than five hundred pictures, depending on the available memory on the card, which means even if you make a mistake, you could probably take three versions of the same picture, making errors pretty much irrelevant. Today someone pulling a digital camera out of their bag is not even given a second look, whether it is in the local mall, at a friend’s wedding or around colleges. An industry that has been greatly affected by the invention of digital cameras is that of professional photographer’s. In the early days of photography, a professional would be hired for any major event – a wedding, christening, engagement, or even a party. But now because almost everyone owns a digital camera, and because it is so easy to use, many people ask friends and family to step into the shoes of a photographer for the day. After all, it is much cheaper than hiring a professional and the photographs turn out more realistic and candid than they would with a professional photographer. Also because photographs taken in digital cameras need not be printed out, small time businesses that do printing have been hit hard. Unless a professional hard copy version of the photographs are needed, which happens quite rarely, a visit to the nearest printing shop is pretty unnecessary. Newer and more modern versions of digital cameras come with additional features to them. Many can be used as video cameras, and some have the option of adding things like backgrounds or frames to them on the camera itself. All these additions help in adding variety to the photographs. All in all, digital cameras are the way of the future, so go ahead…experiment with one!
