With the invention the gelatin dry plate silver bromide process by Richard Leach Maddox, negatives did not have to be developed immediately
(Greenspun, 2007). This was an important discovery since up until then the capture image had to be processed instantly. George Eastman invented
the Kodak camera. For $22.00, an amateur could purchase a camera with enough film for 100 shots (Bellis). After use, it was sent back to the
company, which then processed the film. The ad slogan read, "You press the button, we do the rest." A year later, the delicate paper film was changed
to a plastic base, so that photographers could do their own processing (Bellis). Eastman's first simple camera in 1888 was a wooden, light–tight box a
simple lens and shutter that was factory–filled with film. The photographer pushed a button to produce a negative (Digital Shutter Mania , 2009).
Once the film was used up, the photographer mailed with the filmed still in it to the Kodak factory where the film was removed from the camera,
processed, and printed. The camera was then reloaded with the film and returned. This development led to another key invention, the motion picture
camera by Thomas Edison in 1891 (Bellis). Over almost 170 years, the camera has been continually developed from the big, wooden, and hard–to–use
style to the most modern digital camera which everybody can

Advantages Of A Digital Camera
1. Do you need a digital camera if you have a camera built into your mobile phone?
Yes we need a digital camera even if you have a mobile phone with built in camera. Digital camera photos are always of higher quality compared to
those from mobile phones. Firstly, the optical zoom for digital camera is better than digital zoom from smart phones. Digital zooms from mobile phone
cameras are not even zoom at all, but just enlargement. By comparing the same picture captured from a digital camera with one from a mobile phone
camera, when you zoom in on one segment of the picture, the picture captured from mobile phone appears pixelated while the one from a digital
camera appears clear. This is because of the optical zoom obtained from a digital camera...show more content...
Interchangeable lenses camera like the DSLR allow photos to be taken differently with different lenses to obtain optimal picture quality. A mobile
phone camera however does not have the flexibility to change lens for different effects desired. The shutter speed of a digital camera is always faster
than that of a mobile phone camera. Digital cameras allow photos to be taken instantly while mobile phone camera has a few milliseconds delay. Even
though certain phones have burst mode capture for capturing pictures of a moving object, a digital camera allows the photos taken to be of high
quality and resolution. A digital camera allows customization of shooting modes and adjustment. DSLR offers various shooting styles like while
balance adjustments, autofocus and light metering. So as a conclusion, Digital camera is always better than a mobile phone camera when it comes to
quality. The plus point for mobile phone camera is that it is convenient and easy to be moved around.

Digital camera is a very important tool nowadays. People would always want to save their memories in the shape of pictures that will last forever.

Film Vs. Digital Photography Essay
Between the use of film or digital photography, film is the more effective method when looking for originality and creativity. With the adoption of
digital photography, the younger generations, as well as the older and more current photographers are becoming lazy. These groups must recognize that
the art of the photograph is being jeopardized by the digital camera and the camera phone. For the current photographers as well as amateur
photographers, this essay will serve as testimony to film as well as other chemical methods, and how they shouldn't be ignored, but preferred. The
digital era has had a massive impact on the art world and all of its mediums, but for photography this impact has resulted in the removal of the human
from the photograph making process. This intimate process is what makes it an art form. All of films imperfections and unique qualities, as well as
its monetary value and scarcity are just a few factors that have made it so precious. To replace this entire process with a microchip is offensive and
undermines the importance of the process that is needed to make a photograph. Anyone can take a picture but you must make a photograph, and this
skill is being simplified to a digital camera. The impact of the digital era on photography has hindered the process of making a photograph; painting the
art form obsolete in today's society. Photography serves many purposes and since its invention people have used it for many different reasons, but

The purpose of this report is to develop an understanding of how the digital camera industry operates in today's society as well as several factors,

Firstly, this report will discuss the background and size of the digital camera industry. The digital camera industry is getting bigger with the

In order to operate the firm efficiently with appropriate strategies, Canon must understand the rules and regulations of each country where their retail
shops operate. As rules and regulations are different in each country, this understanding will help Canon to adapt their strategies in different markets.
2.2.2 Economic
Economic issues concern inflation, unemployment rate and economic growth. There are two major economic concerns; changes in income and
changes in consumer spending patterns. Since economic forces can be used to forecast future sales and determine the strategies which may be used
during specific economic situations. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), GDP rose 0.9% seasonally adjusted (March 2007–June
2007) and final consumption expenditure rose 0.5 % seasonally adjusted (March 2007–June 2007). This may be because the country's economy is
stable. During this time, the company is expected to produce more in order to meet consumer demand. For Canon, the increase in GDP seems to affect
their products in the market. However, only GDP may not be sufficient to forecast the market, and thus, marketers also need to look at other factors as
well such as CPI, the country's population and changes in customer value.

Kodak And The First Digital Camera
Kodak is one of America's most legendary companies and long–time manufacturer and leader of American photography. In eighteen eighty–eight,
George Eastman put the first simple camera into the hands of a world of consumers. Eastman developed a profitable slogan, "you press the button, we
do the rest." During this era, Kodak possessed about ninety percent of the United States' photographic film market. They led way with an abundance of
new products and processes to make photography simpler, more useful and more enjoyable. In nineteen seventy–five, Kodak's engineer, Steve Sassoon
invented the first digital camera. (Castelluccio, 2013) Despite their abundance of products over the years, Kodak executives were blind to the business

Kodak saw its market share decline, as digital imaging became dominant and the threat from the new technology proved fatal.
Furthermore, organizations have to adapt to the desires of the market, even if that means competing with themselves. Technology has the prospective to
be disruptive of markets and companies while at the same time that it is benefiting consumers. Executives, managers and leaders should strive for
entrepreneurial greatness and innovation, not to just determine preference among existing options. Marketing is not the art of selling products, as
Kodak thought; smart marketing is about providing a company's customer base value satisfaction. This would allow the company to remain relevant to
their customer's needs. In an age in which the consumer is in charge, the marketing strategy shall not be from the perspective of products and services
alone.
In two thousand thirteen, Kodak's marketing strategy proved this was not enough to make consumers want to engage. Kodak was forced to file a
bankruptcy. Kodak did not fail because they missed the innovative digital age. They failed because their corporate assumed its strength was in its brand
and marketing and undervalued the threat of the emerging digital imprint that was on its way. The inquiry entails whether Kodak's corporate consisted
of leaders or managers during that time frame.

Digital photography was the reason for the graphics editing software such as Adobe Photoshop were developed, and has changed the way people take
pictures. The digital camera has been in development since George Smith and Willard Boyle invented the charged–coupled device (CCD) which is an
image sensor. The original intended function of the CCD was to be the new semi–conductor memory for computers. By 1975 image quality improved
greatly and was able to be broadcasted over television. Since then cameras have improved eminently through the years, progressively advancing and
functioning more dynamically. A digital image is a long string of 1s and 0s that represent all the pixels in an image. Just as with film cameras, the
image that is recorded is visible light or flash. When the light bounces off the subject and is captured in the camera, it breaks into light patterns and is
converted into a series of pixel values. The light is then converted into electric charges which are then used by the CCD or CMOS (Complementary
Metal Oxide Semiconductor) to record images.
There are differences between CCD and CMOS. CCD transports charges across the chip and analyzes it using Analogue–to–Digital Converter (ADC)
to convert the pixel's value into digital value and converting that into binary code. CMOS uses multiple transistors at each pixel to amplify and move
the charge using slightly more traditional wires. The CCD creates less noise in the image than the CMOS.

And the best part? Learning to take digital pictures is a lot easier than you may think!

Introduction
In this report it will focus on how a camera takes pictures and will show how digital photographs are used in media and discuss how they are used in
different sectors and why they are used in the different sectors.
Capturing image
A camera is operated and images are captured with a few features in a DSLR the capturing features include the aperture which controls the amount of
light that the camera uses it is measured in f/10 which is 10mm and f/20 being 5mm. A camera also uses a view finder which is at the back of the
camera and when you look through it, it will show what you will take the picture of. Another feature of a camera is an image sensor which converts
optical image into an electrical image. In addition another...show more content...
Finally there is a SD card which requires no internet however storage fills very quickly also there is no backing without an SD card. A benefit to
using an SD card is that you can change them quickly and can take multiple SD cards to a place or shoot.
Support
There are only a few types of different support, hand held where you hold the camera used mainly for shots where you don't need to hold it very
still and don't want to have too much detail in it. Another way that cameras can be takes is with a tripod which will be used when shooting wildlife
photos as it will be more still and focused. In addition you can also use a monopod for capturing other types of shots where it can be used on the
move if they need to change angle quickly also different shots need different angles and will need to be more still than others.
Camera types
There are many different types of cameras main ones being automatic or manual. A manual camera is when you have to adjust settings yourself like
adjust focus lighting weather flash is on or not. Automatic is when the camera will change its focus and will adjust itself to the lighting and will put
flash on if needed. Advantages to using these cameras will be an automatic can take pictures quicker for example wildlife photos as the camera will

patient and want instant satisfaction, film photography is not for you. But if you love the anticipation of developing a roll of film to see the results,
watching a photograph develop on paper in front of your eyes, and the satisfaction of knowing what you created without the simplistic and robotic
motions of a computer, then film photography is perfect for you. It is not like that you are a better photographer if you shoot with digital camera or film,
in the end the only thing matters is the ability of the person behind the camera to capture the image. So we can say that the it only depends on the
person whether he wants to use digital camera or film

With the invention the gelatin dry plate silver bromide process by Richard Leach Maddox, negatives did not have to be developed immediately (Greenspun, 2007). This was an important discovery since up until then the capture image had to be processed instantly. George Eastman invented the Kodak camera. For $22.00, an amateur could purchase a camera with enough film for 100 shots (Bellis). After use, it was sent back to the company, which then processed the film. The ad slogan read, "You press the button, we do the rest." A year later, the delicate paper film was changed to a plastic base, so that photographers could do their own processing (Bellis). Eastman's first simple camera in 1888 was a wooden, light–tight box a simple lens and shutter that was factory–filled with film. The photographer pushed a button to produce a negative (Digital Shutter Mania , 2009). Once the film was used up, the photographer mailed with the filmed still in it to the Kodak factory where the film was removed from the camera, processed, and printed. The camera was then reloaded with the film and returned. This development led to another key invention, the motion picture camera by Thomas Edison in 1891 (Bellis). Over almost 170 years, the camera has been continually developed from the big, wooden, and hard–to–use style to the most modern digital camera which everybody can Get more content on HelpWriting.net

Yes we need a digital camera even if you have a mobile phone with built in camera. Digital camera photos are always of higher quality compared to those from mobile phones. Firstly, the optical zoom for digital camera is better than digital zoom from smart phones. Digital zooms from mobile phone cameras are not even zoom at all, but just enlargement. By comparing the same picture captured from a digital camera with one from a mobile phone camera, when you zoom in on one segment of the picture, the picture captured from mobile phone appears pixelated while the one from a digital camera appears clear. This is because of the optical zoom obtained from a digital camera...show more content... Interchangeable lenses camera like the DSLR allow photos to be taken differently with different lenses to obtain optimal picture quality. A mobile phone camera however does not have the flexibility to change lens for different effects desired. The shutter speed of a digital camera is always faster than that of a mobile phone camera. Digital cameras allow photos to be taken instantly while mobile phone camera has a few milliseconds delay. Even though certain phones have burst mode capture for capturing pictures of a moving object, a digital camera allows the photos taken to be of high quality and resolution. A digital camera allows customization of shooting modes and adjustment. DSLR offers various shooting styles like while balance adjustments, autofocus and light metering. So as a conclusion, Digital camera is always better than a mobile phone camera when it comes to quality. The plus point for mobile phone camera is that it is convenient and easy to be moved around. 2. How can you tell if you are addicted to technology? Addicted to technology is a common thing nowadays.

  • 5. Film Vs. Digital Photography Essay Between the use of film or digital photography, film is the more effective method when looking for originality and creativity. With the adoption of digital photography, the younger generations, as well as the older and more current photographers are becoming lazy. These groups must recognize that the art of the photograph is being jeopardized by the digital camera and the camera phone. For the current photographers as well as amateur photographers, this essay will serve as testimony to film as well as other chemical methods, and how they shouldn't be ignored, but preferred. The digital era has had a massive impact on the art world and all of its mediums, but for photography this impact has resulted in the removal of the human from the photograph making process. This intimate process is what makes it an art form. All of films imperfections and unique qualities, as well as its monetary value and scarcity are just a few factors that have made it so precious. To replace this entire process with a microchip is offensive and undermines the importance of the process that is needed to make a photograph. Anyone can take a picture but you must make a photograph, and this skill is being simplified to a digital camera. The impact of the digital era on photography has hindered the process of making a photograph; painting the art form obsolete in today's society. Photography serves many purposes and since its invention people have used it for many different reasons, but mostly for Get more content on HelpWriting.net

In order to operate the firm efficiently with appropriate strategies, Canon must understand the rules and regulations of each country where their retail shops operate. As rules and regulations are different in each country, this understanding will help Canon to adapt their strategies in different markets. 2.2.2 Economic Economic issues concern inflation, unemployment rate and economic growth. There are two major economic concerns; changes in income and changes in consumer spending patterns. Since economic forces can be used to forecast future sales and determine the strategies which may be used during specific economic situations. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), GDP rose 0.9% seasonally adjusted (March 2007–June 2007) and final consumption expenditure rose 0.5 % seasonally adjusted (March 2007–June 2007). This may be because the country's economy is stable. During this time, the company is expected to produce more in order to meet consumer demand. For Canon, the increase in GDP seems to affect their products in the market. However, only GDP may not be sufficient to forecast the market, and thus, marketers also need to look at other factors as well such as CPI, the country's population and changes in customer value. 2.2.3 Social According to Suchard and Polonski (1991), the socially conscious customers feel strongly that whatever they do, they will consider the social Get more content on HelpWriting.net

In eighteen eighty–eight, George Eastman put the first simple camera into the hands of a world of consumers. Eastman developed a profitable slogan, "you press the button, we do the rest." During this era, Kodak possessed about ninety percent of the United States' photographic film market. They led way with an abundance of new products and processes to make photography simpler, more useful and more enjoyable. In nineteen seventy–five, Kodak's engineer, Steve Sassoon invented the first digital camera.

Kodak saw its market share decline, as digital imaging became dominant and the threat from the new technology proved fatal. Furthermore, organizations have to adapt to the desires of the market, even if that means competing with themselves. Technology has the prospective to be disruptive of markets and companies while at the same time that it is benefiting consumers. Executives, managers and leaders should strive for entrepreneurial greatness and innovation, not to just determine preference among existing options. Marketing is not the art of selling products, as Kodak thought; smart marketing is about providing a company's customer base value satisfaction. This would allow the company to remain relevant to their customer's needs. In an age in which the consumer is in charge, the marketing strategy shall not be from the perspective of products and services alone. In two thousand thirteen, Kodak's marketing strategy proved this was not enough to make consumers want to engage. Kodak was forced to file a bankruptcy. Kodak did not fail because they missed the innovative digital age. They failed because their corporate assumed its strength was in its brand and marketing and undervalued the threat of the emerging digital imprint that was on its way. The inquiry entails whether Kodak's corporate consisted of leaders or managers during that time frame. As an illustration, Leadership is an influence Get more content on HelpWriting.net

Digital photography was the reason for the graphics editing software such as Adobe Photoshop were developed, and has changed the way people take pictures. The digital camera has been in development since George Smith and Willard Boyle invented the charged–coupled device (CCD) which is an image sensor. The original intended function of the CCD was to be the new semi–conductor memory for computers. By 1975 image quality improved greatly and was able to be broadcasted over television. Since then cameras have improved eminently through the years, progressively advancing and functioning more dynamically. A digital image is a long string of 1s and 0s that represent all the pixels in an image. Just as with film cameras, the image that is recorded is visible light or flash. When the light bounces off the subject and is captured in the camera, it breaks into light patterns and is converted into a series of pixel values. The light is then converted into electric charges which are then used by the CCD or CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) to record images. There are differences between CCD and CMOS. CCD transports charges across the chip and analyzes it using Analogue–to–Digital Converter (ADC) to convert the pixel's value into digital value and converting that into binary code. CMOS uses multiple transistors at each pixel to amplify and move the charge using slightly more traditional wires. The CCD creates less noise in the image than the CMOS.
