RE: Film versus digital
This is quite an interesting debate, and despite it not being specific to aviation, a lot of us use cameras to record our interest in aviation subjects.
I have a personal interest in the comments raised by all of you. I am currently involved in a major imaging development and digital printing project for my employer (A major UK retailer). This involves looking at the existing requirements of the 35mm user and the “life” of silver halide technology.
Digital is a massive growth area in imaging products, as you are all aware. From the printing side, you can print at home or get your pictures printed by a printing company. My colleges and I have recently introduced such a service for customers, that I have been further developing. These services will allow you to print large pictures, and have them delivered to your door. As the camera resolutions get better, and Digital body’s for existing lenses become cheaper, the digital world becomes a lot more attractive.
Storage on CD is as safe as a slide, and can be stored in less space. Image capacity on a disk, depend on the size of the image file. With DVD recordable, you can get 4.7GB of data on 1 disc!
