What's the difference between film and digital camera?

Lead: What's the difference between film and digital? This is a doubt in many people's minds, right? Let me tell you the difference between a film camera and a digital camera.

What's the difference between film and digital camera? Since the popularity of digital, more and more people use digital SLR cameras in the street. The decline of the film era is not only because of its high cost, but also because of its complicated steps. However, many professional photographers or enthusiasts still insist on shooting. Now let's analyze their differences ~

Guess which one is digital and which one is film. The answer is at the end!

First, use separately.

Although digital cameras and film cameras are also tools for taking pictures, there are many differences. Let me explain some important differences for you:

1. Instant and Wait

The most convenient place of digital is its real-time viewing function. Most digital cameras have live view, which can be previewed on the LCD screen, so that you can know the composition and effect in real time. However, the film camera has to take a view through the optical viewfinder, and you can't see the photo immediately after taking the photo. You need to wait patiently for the film to unfold, which may also bring surprises.

2. Live view and viewfinder

It also mentioned one thing. All film cameras have no live view function. Keep your head close to the camera and look at the audience with one eye. In fact, the viewfinder is more stable than live view, because the head also becomes a part of supporting the camera, which can improve the shutter speed. Of course, if a special angle is needed, the real scene can avoid the chance of blind shooting.

3. Infinite and finite

One advantage of digital cameras is unlimited shooting. Because all the photos are stored in the memory card, a memory card can store hundreds of photos, and the cost of digital photos is mostly used for equipment; The film is fixed, and it is agreed that each barrel is thirty-six. A brother can shoot a bitch at most, and once he shoots it, he can't delete it. Every time you shoot carefully, every film is also precious.

4. Adjustable and fixed

Aperture and shutter are adjustable settings. However, the white balance and sensitivity are fixed in the film, and the sensitivity depends on the film bought, while the white balance is generally set in the sunlight (5500k), except for some special films. Almost all the settings of digital cameras can be adjusted, and even the pictures can be retouched in the later stage of the computer, while the film needs to be adjusted in the filter or darkroom program to change the photos.

Second, the comparison of imaging

Every time someone asks about the difference between the two, they can't open their mouths. They can only say, "It's just that film is more interesting!" But I don't know the real difference. Finally, once, the author made a careful comparison.

Canon 5D mark 2 and Minolta X700 are used to compare the difference between digital and film under the same environment and exposure.

Pay attention to the green light and light level of both. There are more green levels below, and the pair of bright and dark levels is larger and looks more three-dimensional.

Pay attention to the building in the center. The upper building is more integrated with the background, while the lower building is obviously separated.

Pay attention to the appearance of skin color and hair. The skin at the top looks smooth, and the skin and hair details at the bottom look more textured, but they are also rough.

Did everyone guess right? The top is digital, and the bottom is film.

The above is only a rough comparison. To sum up, film is much better than digital in stereoscopic impression and color level, which is what many people call "texture". However, movies are too real and sometimes show defects. For example, when shooting beautiful women, the numbers with slippery skin are more appropriate.

After the above comparison, the author also reflects on why he spent 10 thousand yuan to buy a digital full-film camera instead of an antique film camera worth 1000 yuan. Although the convenience of digital is undeniable, have you begun to understand the persistence of movie lovers?

(Finally, the first picture on the first page, the film on the left. There is another way to distinguish, that is, enlarge the photo, the digital one will see a space, and the film one will see impurities! )
