“A new technology is rarely superior to an old one in every feature”. Briefly discuss this statement in relation to digital camera technology. What would you consider to be some of the pluses and minuses digital camera technology holds in relation to more traditional film based cameras?
Some positives of digital camera technology is that results are instant, you can view the photo you just took, and if you don’t like it you can delete the photo and take another one strait away, with the old film method you didn’t know how well the photo’s were till after you got them developed. You also don’t need to wait hours for photo development, and can now print photos in the comfort of your own home! You can also choose what colour you want the photos in, e.g black and white, sepia or colour.
Some negatives are there are lots of settings on the camera, and its very easy to change a setting without realising, and photo’s will turn out bad and you don’t know how to fix them. Sometime the quality of the photos is affected, Loss of the anticipation you used to get when you picked up photo’s from the developers, no more sense of surprise.

Over the internet on photoblogs eg photo-bucket, Flashdrives & Harddrives, C.D’s & D.V.D.’s, Memory Cards, E-mails, Pxt messaging, Laptops, Video Cameras.
Given the prevalence of image capturing devices, and thinking about the issues discussed in tutorial one, consider what sort of ethical issues may arise with their use.
