The Advantage of Analog Photography

The advantage of this system compared to analog photography is that you have recorded images instantly, without having to carry the film to the lab and reveal the negative to see the images, this speed advantage in the availability of image allows the photographer to make changes at the time and make the appropriate corrections immediately consider making it easier to achieve the image you want.
In the digital camera can be viewed on a screen the photos you just took. The camera can be connected to a computer or other device capable of displaying photos on a monitor. As with computer format, the photos can be sent directly by e-mail , posted on the web and can be processed with photo processing programs on a computer to zoom in and make a frame (a part of the picture), correct colors and brightness, and perform many other possible modifications according to the program used. Another great advantage of digital photography is that every time the camera takes a picture creates a file and stored in memory capture important information such as date, time, aperture, shutter speed, speed of ISO This information is very useful to study the images and understand more about each photo and also facilitates the ordering and management of photo files.
Other useful resources that exist in digital photography is the histogram of brightness, which is a graph showing the distribution of image pixels according to the brightness and histogram RGB showing the distribution of pixels in the different RGB channels, as its acronym English: A network, G green, B blue. This resource does not exist in analog photography.
Professional digital cameras have the option to customize different types of users, allowing adjustment important image features such as saturation, contrast, sharpness and color tone. Additionally allow custom handling of white balance, which can vary significantly gamut and can capture images in black and white, sepia, filters, etc. The quick and easy to control the speed of ISO helps solve the problems of lack or excess of light.
The cost compared with the analog system for printed photo is smaller. Whereas it can take multiple shots and select and print only the best photographs.
Technology has brought digital cameras to mobile phones by increasing the number of users of photography and growing exponentially the new models improve the optical quality and image resolution, this has caused the task of the photographer must be rethought and restructured .
Digital photography has revolutionized the photographic medium. The images are increasingly screens that paper.
In the 2010 and there are millions of users who share their images through social networks like Facebook and other specialized web sites like Flickr , Picasa , which store, sort, search and share photos online

Batteries

Digital cameras have high energy requirements, and over time the size has become smaller and smaller, which has led to an ongoing need to develop a battery small enough to fit in the camera but can operate it for a reasonable time.
Essentially there are two broad divisions in the types of batteries that digital cameras use.
Laptop Batteries
The first is batteries that are available factor set of the form, most commonly AA, CR2, or CR-V3, AAA batteries with a handful of cameras. Batteries CR2 and CR-V3 lithium batteries, and expected, but not reusable. Also commonly seen in camcorders. AA batteries are far more common, but non-rechargeable alkaline batteries are capable of providing enough power for a very short time in most cameras. Most NiMH batteries of AA of consumer use (NiMH) (see also chargers and batteries) instead, which provide an adequate amount of power and are rechargeable. NIMH batteries do not provide as much energy as lithium ion batteries, and also tend to discharge when not used. They are available in various grades of ampere hour (Ah) or milli-ampere-hour (mAh), which affects how long it takes working. Consumer models typically mid-range and some lower end cameras use batteries available, only very few cameras a DSLR accept them (for example, Sigma SD10). The rechargeable lithium-ion RCR-V3 is also available as an alternative for non-rechargeable CR-V3.
Self-contained

A standalone device such as a PictBridge printer, operates without a computer. The camera connects to the printer, which then downloads and prints its images. Some DVD recorders and television sets can read memory cards. Various types of flash card readers also have an output capability of the TV.

Connectivity

Most digital cameras can be connected directly to the computer to transfer your information. Formerly the cameras had to connect through a serial port . USB is the preferred method but some cameras use a FireWire port or Bluetooth . Most cameras are recognized as a USB storage device. Some models, such as the Kodak EasyShare One can connect to the computer via wireless network protocol for 802.11 (Wi-Fi).
A common alternative is to use a card reader that may be able to read various types of storage media and make the transfer of data to the computer at high speed. Using a card reader also prevents the battery from the camera is downloaded during the download process, as the device takes power from the USB port.
An external card reader allows direct access to appropriate images in a collection of storage media. But if it only works with a storage card, can be uncomfortable moving forward and backward between the camera and scanner. Many modern cameras offer the PictBridge standard that allows data to be sent directly to printers without the need for a computer.

Integration

Current technology allows the inclusion of digital cameras in various everyday devices such as cell phones . Other small electronic devices (especially those used for communication) devices such as PDAs , laptops and Blackberries often contain integrated digital cameras. Also, some digital camcorders incorporate a digital camera.
Due to limited storage capacity and utility of the emphasis on the quality of these integrated devices and the majority JPEG format to store images for their great ability to compensate for the small compression quality loss it causes.
