Introduction to digital photography
Digital photography has come a long way in a few years. It's fast, efficient, and more cost-effective than the old ways. And best of all, digital photography just keeps getting easier and more enjoyable.

So many advantages
  • Digital takes the fear out of photography by letting you take as many pictures as you want.
  • You can see right away if you got the picture you want, and you can delete pictures you don’t want.
  • Upload pictures and share them with friends and family anytime, anywhere using a computer — or even a mobile phone.
  • Digital costs less because you don’t buy film and you don’t pay to print photos you don’t want.
  • People use digital photography in their work every day — police officers, real estate agents, insurance agents, fire fighters, scientists, and doctors, just to name a few.
