"A new technology is rarely superior to an old one in every feature". Briefly discuss this statement in relation to digital camera technology. What would you consider to be some of the pluses and minuses digital camera technology holds in relation to more traditional film based cameras?
I just loved going to the photo shop to pick up my pictures. Sometimes, were are some on the film that I had forgotten and it was always a nice surprise to see pictures and remember what happened at that time. Now, the thrill is gone.

Explain what the difference is between a digital and an optical zoom.
Digital zoom just cuts out a piece of the picture and blows it up. This results in poorer quiality as the pixel count gets significantly reduced.
Optical zoom is the zoom of a film camera (an old fashioned one). The lens itself changes its length which is why objects appear magnified.
