Film Vs. Digital














Colors in digital are more natural and accurate and more saturated than in film; with film colors are soft where in digital colors are stronger.

Contrast in digital is higher and has better quality than in film.

Film and digital captures the same latitude in a way. You can witness more tonal range and more obvious highlights in film than in digital

Film pictures are less sharpened than in digital; film produce smooth images.

Both digital and film have good resolution of fine details, although film images are more grainy and produce more noise even though the ISO and exposure is the same in both images (it depends on what every person prefers). Digital shows more fine details than film.

For the atmosphere i find that film cameras produce a better feeling than digital where it shows more emotions and tells more the story of every image and its mood. The image shows that it is film. You can notice in the images produced by film that it is not related to the meaning of technology and evolution of our days. It still preserves the feeling of old and negative photographs.
