Digital photography: lesser cost with more storage

Digital photography has been in the news since it was made. It is not an invention. It is something for the photographers to cheer for.

Today in the morning, a friend of mine came at my house and asked me to pack up my bags for a beach trip. I asked him “dude, do you have a camera and film rolls?” He was amused by this question and asked me if am living in an outdated world. Then he took out one of the tech magazines from his bag which was having a list of prices of digital cameras. I was shocked when I looked at the list. Brand like Sony was having a fairly cheap price. Next to it was Nikon and then Canon. The eye-catchy part of the list was the storage they were giving.

I managed to note down some of the configurations of the digital cameras. They have been summarized below:-

• Sony Cyber-Shot DSC W290
This model has 12.1 mega pixels, 5x3 inch display and costs cheap, ranges from $189 to $229.

• Sony Cyber-Shot DSC H-20
This one has less pixels than the above one i.e. 10.1 mega pixels
But has a bigger display that is 10x3 inch, exactly double that of DSC W290 and that is why its prices are a bit high and ranges from $243 to $289

• Panasonic Lumix DMC ZS3
Panasonic makes their way in the industry of digital cameras by making the prices of its models more competitive.
The camera just ranges from $389 to $449.It has 10.1 mega pixels, and an enhanced 12x3 inches display which make it a good buy.

• Canon-power Shot SD1200IS
It is a 10.1 mega pixels camera having a 3x2.5 inch display, than the regular Sony and canon cameras but its price pays for it which is in between $169 to $229.



Note:- The prices of the above models are subjected to change.

More Storage

Storage problems are resolved by the Digital photography. After capturing the images from the traditional film camera, the photographers had to store rolls of films and were always in doubt if the rolls disintegrate. The digital cameras are nowadays provided with 1GB, 2GB and even with 8 GB of memory cards. So for a person like me who loves talking multiple images of himself doesn’t need to bother about the space left as I can easily store multiple images in the memory card. After that, I can easily store the images in my computer and burn them into compact disks so I don’t need to bother for printing them. Storing them in the computer helps me to change the background of the images, fix the red eyes etc. with the help of graphics programs like Picasa. The reason of having a digital camera recently is to post snaps on social networking sites like twitter and MySpace.

So the advantage of having better storage and lesser cost brings the digital photography ahead of the traditional film photography.

Hey! I am going to the market to purchase a digital camera. What are you waiting for?
