LOW-END DIGITAL CAMERAS: what are they used for? In
editorial photography, mostly for newspaper publication
(since high resolution is not required). Some commercial
photographers are starting to use digital cameras for
brochure work (where the picture size is small). Other
uses are newsletters, presentations, catalogs, and Web
pages (all areas where the picture size is rather small
and resolution is not of prime importance). Advantages:
digital cameras are convenient. You have the ability to
view images instantly. Scanning and transmitting are easy.
No film developing costs. Disadvantages: Resolution is not
top quality. Storing the images is a problem unless you
invest in high-capacity storage devices. And not least,
the high-end cameras are costly.
