However, unlike digital cameras, film can capture and store at greater resolutions. This is much the same as the sensor sizes on digital cameras. Film is manufactured in various formats to suit a variety of cameras. The title above may seem far-fetched for those new to film, but let us explain it to you. Resolution of Film is Higher Than Most Digital Cameras You can’t get the same results on a digital camera. Because of this, you won’t have to edit your highlights, lift your shadows, or increase saturation. The color consistency is famous in film and not as a digital reproduction.Ĭheck out The Darkrooms film index, reviews, and samplesĪdding to this, the film can capture a wider dynamic range (13 stops, to be exact) than most digital cameras. That’s why when you pick up a roll of Velvia or Provia, you know that nothing is going to beat the original. This type of marketing ploy has nothing on the traditional film stock we have been shooting for years. Looking at these cameras’ digital photos, the film simulation effect is merely a punch in contrast and saturation with some embedded metadata text. Digital mirrorless owners rejoiced as they could now take photos enriched with ‘Veliva’ and ‘Provia’ simulations. Rather than making more film, they halted production and turned their attention to replicating the color science in camera. Take Provia and Velvia, for instance when Fujifilm tried to replicate these stunning film stocks into their mirrorless digital cameras, it was a sad day indeed. Such an ‘advancement’ in technology is nothing more than a marketing gimmick.įilm is the golden standard of photography. A good example of this is when a film company like Fujifilm tries to match film’s beautiful color consistency.

The Darkroom photo lab scans your film photos, now allowing you to edit your images on a computer with photo-editing software or share on social media.Long trips and cold conditions can be limiting for digital cameras. Unlike digital cameras, film cameras are future proof and don’t become obsolete.Depending on your viewpoint, this is either an advantage or disadvantage. Digital photographers tend to take pictures first and think later. Film photographers with a limited number of exposures available on a roll of film must think more about their images before shooting them.

Some photographers use this to their advantage to create the ideal look they desire, but this method still does not allow extremely high ISO speeds without impacting image tones.

While in Eastern Sierra Nevada, we shot two photos, one film and the other digital. As a film processing lab, we obviously have a bias, so not going to say which is better, but to present the differences and list advantages.


With film usage and adoption on the rise, we wanted to resurrect the debate of digital photos versus analog photos.
