The way we take and keep photos is much different to how used to do it. Not long ago, we would have filled up a roll of film, developed the images and stored them in an album or framed them around the house. But now we can take hundreds of photos in a matter of seconds, and instead of printing them we using leave them sitting on a hard drive. We still show them to people, but instead of getting an album out, we post them on Facebook, Instagram and other sites. Some people, especially photographers, still prefer to use film, but for casual camera users, there are many benefits to the new way of taking photos. It's even more fun when you have a family, and you want lots of ways to preserve your precious memories.
You Can Take Way More Photos
When we all took photos with rolls of film, you would reach a point where there was no space left to take any more photos. You would have to take extra film with you if you didn't want to be in danger of running out. But with how quick it is to take a photo with a digital camera, plus the storage amounts on memory cards and internal memory, you can make hundreds and even thousands. People have even set world records for taking more photos than anyone else or doing a particular number in the quickest time. You don't have to worry about getting it right first time, because you can just delete anything that goes wrong.
Instant Satisfaction
In the past, you couldn't see your images until after they were developed. There was no telling whether you had taken a good photo until you got them back from the developers or developed them yourself. There's no need for any of that now because you just have to look at the screen on your camera. If it's not good enough, you can take another one. And if it is a beautiful shot, you can immediately admire it and pass it around to show everyone.
You Can Still Print Your Photos
Having digital images doesn't stop you from having printed images too. If you like making photo albums, scrapbooks or framed pictures, you can still do that. And the best thing is that you can do it at home with your printer. Plus, if you like frames, you can get technical and use a digital frame that will cycle through your favourite photos, instead of showing just one.
It's Easy to Share with Friends and Family
The best thing about digital cameras for anyone with a family is that it's easy to show everyone pictures of your kids growing up. Whether you use your phone or have a camera on its own, you can upload straight to Facebook and other social networking sites. It's fantastic to be able to do this if you have family abroad. You don't have to send them photos in the mail or attach them in emails. They can see your images seconds after you took them.
If you've wished we still lived in the days of film photography, all of these benefits of digital images might make you think again. They are perfect for busy families who want to keep in touch.
