Which is better, film or digital?

Film and digital have their own advantages and disadvantages. The specific choice depends on personal needs and preferences. If you like to shoot real textures and natural colors, you can choose a film camera. If you need a convenient and fast shooting experience and the cost is low, you can choose a digital camera.

The advantage of film is that the shooting effect is more realistic and natural, and it has unique texture and color expression ability. Film cameras need to manually adjust the parameters such as aperture and shutter, which requires high shooting skills and experience and is relatively cumbersome to use. In addition, the cost of film camera is relatively high, and consumables such as film and chemicals need to be purchased, and darkroom washing and film scanning are also troublesome.

The advantages of digital camera are convenience, quickness, simple operation, instant shooting, and relatively low cost, and no need to buy additional consumables such as film and chemicals. In addition, the digital camera can check the shooting effect at any time, which is convenient for post-processing and sharing.
