Hi! This is Scott Vallance. Today we are going to talk briefly about the differences between a 35mm film camera and a digital SLR. The obvious difference is the traditional 35mm camera uses film. It comes in containers like this and you can get various speeds. The big thing is once this film is in there you are kind of blocked into that speed and that type of film until you are through with the film. On a digital camera everything gets stored on a compact flashcard or something similar. There are several different varieties of cards out there. What this camera uses is a compact flashcard. You can store a lot of images on these things and then download them to your computer and reuse the card. You never have to buy film or pay for processing any of that again. That is the big financial difference between the two cameras. Cards just load in and each camera will be a little bit different. There is a little bit of difference in storing these cameras also. The digital camera has a sensor in it and it has a little bit of electric static charge to it. If you get dust in there it will stick onto your sensor and then all of your pictures will come out with a little dust speck on them. 35mm cameras are not quite so particular about that. The nice thing about digital cameras is you can change the ISO setting in between each picture if you want to. You can change to black and white and you can change to high speed color or you can change daylight balance and flash balance whatever you need to do. The new cameras really wonderful and are expensive but they save you a lot of money in film processing. That is all we have to day. Thank you.
