There are a few differences between 35mm cameras and digital cameras. The following are a few that we discussed.
Shutter delay: There are two types of delay to expect in a digital camera. The first is the delay that the camera needs to auto focus. The second is the delay that the camera needs to analyze the image and store it on a disk. When you take a picture with a digital camera wait a second or so before you move the camera.
Battery Life: Digital cameras are about as efficient with batteries as early model Buicks were with gas. There are some ways that you can cut down on battery consumption though.
LCD Monitor: Don’t use it unless you have to.
Zoom Lens: Don’t use it unless you have to.
Transferring Pictures: Purchase a digital media reader to transfer images. Hooking your camera to your computer to transfer images is hard on your camera and your batteries. Make sure that the media reader you buy is compatible with your camera’s memory.
