"A new technology is rarely superior to an old one in every feature".
Some of the positives of digital cameras is that you can choose to delete pictures before they are printed which is more cost effective you can also copy onto many other technologies such as CD, USB, and your computer. Some of the negatives include; photos are not as good quality as film, and there is also a risk of losing photos or them being deleted.
Some of the ways that digital images can be stored, transferred and manipulated using other communications technology:
Stored on a memory stick
Uploaded onto a computer (PC or laptop)
Can also be uploaded on social networking sites such as facebook and myspace

Mobile phones and Email

The difference between digital and optical zoom:
Optical zoom works by bringing the subject in the viewfinder closer, using moving parts within the camera. Digital zoom simulates optical zoom by enlarging part of an image electronically, rather than with moving parts.
A megapixel is one million pixels. A pixel is the smallest unit of picture that can be controlled. The more mega pixel the better quality photos.
