Digital cameras

Digital cameras

Digital cameras record images onto flash memory instead of onto film.  They're great because you can see the result right away on the camera's screen.  They also allow you to crop images however you'd like, print them at home on your computer right away, and selectively print pictures rather than wasting money on film and development costs of pictures you don't really want. If you prefer, you can also send your digital pictures off for processing and printing. 
One other item to note - with regular 35 mm cameras you can easily get them in a digital format.  Many film development companies offer an Internet upload option (at Wal-Mart for example, this is just 97 cents for the entire roll in addition to your development costs).
