Modern film and digital cameras:

New cameras are very easy to use, just point and shoot. The camera’s built-in computer handles focus and exposure so you don’t have to.

It’s comforting to know that even the latest digital cameras work the same way as their ancestors:

Light passes through the lens, into the camera, and exposes the film. And guess what? The end result is still a photograph.

Digital Film

So what has changed? The most recent revolution in photography is the invention of digital film.

Replacing old-fashioned plastic film, digital cameras capture the images with an electronic sensor called a CCD. Photographs are stored on reusable computer memory devices.

The result is that modern photography is cheaper (and more environmentally friendly) than it has ever been before.

A digital camera is still composed of a lens, a dark box, and film.
