Digital photography has numerous advantages but it is not immune to flaws. This is why photographers are saying that film photography may be dying but it is not dead. But many photographers have transitioned into using both film and digital means to capture and save their work. Unfortunately there are still those who use film cameras that use the 35mm format most often in their work than digital cameras.

This is more of preference, quality and power issues. They say that the digital cameras require more power to use. For example, in wedding photojournalism, film format lend more detail. They used to say that a 35mm film format holds more pixels per se than a regular digital camera. But DSLRs with 12-14 mega pixels are easy to use and has a lower cost per shot. More and more these days the line between the quality of the picture gets thinner and thinner. So in the case of the number of shots and cost, digital photography has the advantage. A photographer can take candid pictures now and sort them out later. This allows for a wide range of expressive storytelling. But in most digital photography courses, professors stressed that the requirement of ethics must be applied in digital photography.

Pictures in 35mm format are stored much better in print and lasts longer than the digital prints made nowadays. But the downside of this is that a photographer that uses a 35mm camera would have to print then scan the picture. And if you don't have the ability and the hardware, you would have to go to the nearest printer. And most of these shops have adopted the brand's stand on digital photography. Most of them like Nikon have foregone making 35mm cameras and thus they are aiding their consumers to transition from 35mm to digital. And if you ask them to print your pictures the process is done digitally regardless of your medium.

But there were things that a digital camera could not do back in the dawn of the century. Taking pictures of meteors and some other celestial bodies is difficult with a digital camera. But these flaws are targeted by the manufacturers to be remedied by some of the present versions of DSLRs that they are releasing now.

Sharing photos are the thing of the future. Online users commonly called "sharers" are definitely akin to digital photography. Because the quality can suffer through the transfer, these pictures remain digital for a very long time. But for those who still prefer having prints they can still use the advantage of cost-efficiency of getting digital prints. These "shooters" are still a bit old fashioned but are not particular with the medium used. But for a serious photographer whose concern is quality, it is hard to give up what he is used to and completely embrace the new medium. But if a photographer is to adapt to the changing demands of his industry, customers and critics, he needs to be able to find the best of both worlds.
