How do digital cameras differ from film

Film	Digital
When using a conventional camera, you may accidentally put your thumb over the lens or expose the film -- but you have to wait at least an hour for the film to be developed before discovering your photographic faux pas.	A digital camera lets you preview pictures on the spot through its LCD screen. You then save the keepers and erase the ones you don't like.
Conventional cameras use film.	Digital cameras use small storage cards.
Basic point-and-shoot units can be fired at will	digital camera has a 1- to 20-second processing delay, making it difficult to photograph squirmy kids or take a quick sequence of action shots.
Deliver to a photofinisher in order to get prints or digital files	You can download image files to your computer for printing on your home printer, or, if you have a compatible printer, you can attach your camera directly to it. Another option is getting traditional silver-halide prints from an online service or a local photofinisher who accepts digital files.
Digital cameras give me much better and more accurate colors than I've ever gotten with print film. If all I need is a 12 x 18" print digital camera is better and faster.	You can spend all day making a custom print from a large transparency I'll use film.
Digital is far more convenient and offers great quality for photojournalism and portraits.	Film is king for large prints and reproduction where textures in nature and landscapes are important.
