Digital cameras have advanced, and are advancing every day! There are many advantages and disadvantages with digital cameras, which are completely dependent on the individual! Modern digital camers are quite technological. You can view the picture you have taken, as soon as you have taken it! You can edit it, view it, save it, print it, all straight from your camera!
