Why should I purchase a digital camera?

Availability and flexibility
An unlimited number of images can be shot, if sufficient storage is available. That means if you don't like one picture, just reshoot it.
Surviving the destructive forces of time
Film deteriorates and fades; digital images don't. A digital photo stored to disk will never fade, yellow, wrinkle, or scratch. The disk might fail, and that particular version may be lost, but if you can recover it, it looks as good as the original. With film, there is just one original. Every copy made from the original is just a copy, slightly inferior to the original. The digital photocopy is identical to the original, with no loss of quality.
Speed and convenience
You don't have to develop digital images. Within minutes, you can access that image for a Web page, printing, or e-mail. You can also preview the images on an LCD screen.
Color and focus modifications
Digital photography puts you in charge of the darkroom. You can bring out highlights; adjust brightness, contrast, and saturation; adjust color; and crop your image.
