POLAROID INSTANT CAMERA AND DIGITAL CAMERA(PAIR WORK)

The instant camera is a type of camera with self-developing film. The best known are those formerly made by polaroid corporation. A digital camera (also digicam or camera for short) is a camera that takes video or still photographs, or both, digitally by recording images via an electronic image sensor.

The similarities between polaroid instant cameras and digital cameras is both are able to produce instant results, making photography quick and easy. However, the two formats have many important differences. As digital photography continues to increase in popularity, polaroid instant cameras are becoming a rare sight.

The first differences is the image quality. Most consumer-level digital cameras surpassed the clarity and color reproduction of polaroid instant cameras sometime in the early 2000s. While the earliest digital cameras produced low-quality images, the continued advancement of the design of image sensors had led to ever-increasing megapixel resolutions. Digital cameras also allow users to perform a number of adjustments, unlike the simple controls on a polaroid instant camera. Digital photos can be further enhanced by using image-editing software.

The second difference is the cost. Even the most basic digital cameras are likely to cost more than a polaroid instant camera, though digital camera costs are frequently being lowered as new models are made available for sale. Another key difference between the formats is the need to constantly reload film in a polaroid camera, whereas a digital camera with even a modestly sized memory card is capable of storing dozens of images. The cost of film may make a polaroid instant camera more expensive to use than a digital camera over long periods of time, even if you turn digital images into high-quality prints.

Perhaps the biggest difference between polaroid instant cameras and digital cameras today is the availability of media. Polaroid instant film is no longer manufactured by polaroid itself, and finding it can be a difficult and expensive proposition. Meanwhile, the price of SD memory cards has plummeted in recent years, making digital photography more affordable than ever. New printers and digital display solutions make digital photography an even more appealing replacement to Polaroid.

The limited availability of polaroid instant film makes digital photography a far more convenient, inexpensive solution to picture taking for the vast majority of photographers. Polaroid photography has developed a dedicated Internet following, producing numerous petitions aimed at getting polaroid to reinstate its instant film production. Meanwhile, third-party manufacturers have made plans to produce the film but none have done so on a mass scale able to supply photographers sufficiently. New digital cameras with instant printing capability, including one from Polaroid itself, may be the near-future replacement that sees digital photography take on yet another new task.

In a nutshell, the difference between polaroid instant camera and digital camera are the image quality, cost and the availability of media.
