Digital Photography: Advantages/Disadvantages

Advantages:
  • Instant preview of photo w/ histogram
  • No cost of film, only the cost of memory card
  • Digital Darkroom work is more convenient
  • Organizing Digitally is more convenient and also gives access to metadata
  • Instant ISO change w/o having to replace roll of film

Disadvantages:

  • Higher photo quality and ability to print larger requires much more expensive camera
  • Noise at a higher ISO is always considered ugly whereas film grain can sometimes look attractive
  • Cost of quality lenses much more expensive compared to similar quality film camera lenses
  • Requires a computer to edit and store images
