Today, even with victory assured, digital camera image capture
technology has come on in leaps and bounds. The ability
to capture images at increasingly high scales of resolution
is being stretched every time from new. Depths of
color are also constantly being improved and refined
to extents where reproduction has reached levels that
traditional film photography could never reach, even
by using the best and most powerful cameras at their
disposal.
Where digital photography’s victory was won
was not based around the camera. It was also achieved
through the total and absolute flexibility of digital
image capture to store, process and reproduce the
images captured. An area where traditional photography
was still living in the dark ages, and had no way
of ever moving out of.
If you wanted to make any argument today on the advantages
of traditional photography against digital photography,
the only argument you might be able to raise is that
digital photography is an extension or a refinement
of traditional photography at least for the purist.
There is no disputing the fact that for many millions
of people, digital photography has made capturing
images a much simpler, less expensive and enjoyable
experience.
