Do you see Digital Photography as a good thing for the common man?

Certainly, digital photography has a future and a present too, nowadays almost all photographers have turned to digital, also those doing landscaping and freelance are using digital, now to improve your skills you just need practice and more practice, also read magazines like Popular Photography, that will help..☺

While you may spend more per printed picture than you do with film, at least you can choose only to print the "keepers." With film, most people (consumers) get the whole roll printed and then get additional prints of the good ones. To me, one beauty of digital is that once you own the equipment, photography is virtually free from that point on. The best way to learn photography is to DO IT and digital eliminates all the expense of film and processing or chemicals, so an individual's weekly budget will not slow down their photographic education.

Digital Photography is different for each person. For me, I love my digital camera because I "touch up" each picture. I don't just take a picture for "clicking's sake". I think about my pictures, but like seeing if it is what I want in an instant. Does it take away the mystery? Sure. I still have a standard SLR and dust it off once in a while. I just don't want to wait for the result. I would pay more money to have it on disk anyway so I can touch it up and make it even better. Learn Photoshop. (not the versions that come with cameras, but the expensive versions) and your digital life will vastly expand. I hope this helped.

I havent bought yet. Just use one time use cameras.
