Even though digital cameras have been out for quite some time now (since 1991, by Kodak), there still seems to be a lot of confusion over film and digital cameras. What really are the differences? Does it make a difference in the quality? Is one "easier" than the other? What about price structures? First and foremost, if you have learned photography on a film camera - congrats to you. This seems like it would be quite a pleasant albeit frustrating experience! With film cameras, while it does seem like a really cool experience. It’s also time-consuming and quite confusing as well especially when it comes to the developmental process!

However, with something like digital photography it's more or less like a game of point and shoot. You don't need to develop anything - every single video and picture you take goes directly onto a memory card which can then be placed right onto your computer. In fact, a lot of computers and laptops these days have a slot right on the drive for an SD (Secure Digital) or XD (extreme Digital) card. So all you have to do is slide the card in and view your photos and edit them right there with almost any picture editing and viewing software you have on your computer.

Also, with consoles like the Wii, you can place the memory card into the console and view/edit your photos. Can't do that with a film camera can you!?! Also, you have to consider quality. While film may or may not take a better photo, it takes a lot more patients and ingenuity to get the photo looking perfect. With something like a digital camera, especially a compact one, even a child can take a brilliant photo!
