Digital Or Film Photography
Many photographers have adopted digital photography in its various forms, but it is still a hotly debated topic as to which is better. Film photography has its merits and disadvantages that make it a hard decision to consider switching over completely. It's not so much a question of how you take the picture, but how you are going to use what you've got after the photo is taken.
There's no reason to put your old analog camera away just yet! Take some time and see if film photography might be for you.
Advantages of Film Photography over Digital Photography:
Film photography is a little more time consuming than digital photography. You will need to use a film camera and film rolls, which means purchasing them at various locations and then processing the film rolls in a lab. If you want instant results, then digital photography is the way to go.
You need to learn the different rules behind taking great photos with a film camera. This takes time and practice to learn how to manipulate your surroundings for better photo shoots. A lot of this comes down to trial and error and learning from mistakes, which take time and patience with yourself.
One of the things you need to consider before switching over to film photography is how you are going to store your negatives and prints. If you choose to frame and display your photos, then film photography is the way to go. It helps preserve color hues and takes up less space.
The way you process your film is more time consuming than taking the pics digitally. This means multiple trips to a lab, a lot of waiting for prints or negatives (depending on the process), and cleaning hundreds of films hassles (if there's any). The amount of time needed or frustration involved in processing hundreds of rolls may be too much for some people, but it's up to you whether or not that bothers you as well.
Price is another consideration in using film photography. Film photography, if processed in a lab, can be both cheaper and more expensive. It is up to you based on your experience and what you are looking for in your photos.
For those who enjoy the whole process of taking photos, then film photography is the way to go. It's a very rewarding hobby and makes for great memories worth remembering past years. For others, it may be too much trouble that they decide not to take any more of their films and just stick with digital photography. The choice is up to each individual photographer.
As you can see, there are a lot of things that go into determining whether film photography is better than digital photography or not. Each person has their own separate ideals that make the decision to adopt one over the other.
It's more than just taking a picture; it's about what you do with those photos afterward. Do you like to frame and put photos on display? Do you want instant results? There are advantages and disadvantages to both film and digital photography, so choose wisely!

In what ways does a digital camera differ from a film camera? What advantages do digital cameras have over film? Take some time and consider these factors when you want to decide which photography route to take.
Digital Camera Advantages over Film:
A digital camera takes up less space than a film camera. You don't have to carry around bulky camera equipment, you can just put your digital one in your pocket or purse and go! Digital cameras are great for on-the-go photography because of this feature. A digital camera is much easier to use than a film one. Once you have the pictures on your camera, it's done, and you can continue with your day without having to worry about developing them. Digital cameras are much lighter than film ones. You won't get bulky equipment weighing you down as you travel from place to place. Digital photographs are cheaper than film ones (if processed in a lab). This means that a digital camera is a great value for the money spent. If it breaks or needs repaired, it's relatively cheap to replace and doesn't take up much room at all that way. Digital cameras have higher resolution than film ones (for example, a 35mm digital camera will allow more detail in the photo), which means you can print larger photos with more color nuances and detail in them. You don't have to worry about mis-shooting photos, getting them fogged or not taking full sun, or overall exposure possibilities. Digital cameras are faster than film ones. They can process the photos in a matter of seconds or less (usually less than a minute). You may still want to develop your film for some of your pictures, but it's not necessary with digital cameras. If you don't like the color of your film, you can adjust it later on in an editing program. With digital photography, there is no need for developing the photos since you have them right on your camera!
Digital Camera Disadvantages over Film:
Film takes up more room than a digital camera does. You can't put it in your pocket or purse without risking the life of your camera. Because of this, film photography is much less portable than digital photography. It takes longer to process and process photos with (you may have to wait several hours for them all to be processed if there's a large number of them). Film photography isn't as convenient as digital photography when it comes to taking pictures. You need to get out your camera and snap away before you can print out your photos. If you're wanting some instant gratification, then digital photography is the way to go. The photos will still look like they came from a high-quality camera though, unless you process the film themselves (which could take a long time). Some photos, especially ones in low-lit situations, may come out grainy or fuzzy. They may not look as good as digital photographs would come out. For that reason, you may want to take a couple of photos until you get the right one you're looking for. Film photography can't capture the speed and motion of moving objects or scenes (like sports or action shots) digitally can). It's best to use a digital camera for these types of shots. If it breaks or needs repaired, it's much more expensive to replace than a film camera.
Conclusion:
Considering all these advantages and disadvantages, it may be difficult to decide which one will work for your lifestyle and needs better. Both have their strengths and weaknesses, but there is no reason a film camera can't be a good choice as well! Consider which is best for you, and you'll find the most comfortable route to go.
