Traditional photography
burdened photographers working at remote
locations without easy
access to processing facilities, and competition from television pressured
photographers to deliver images to newspapers with greater speed. Photo
journalists at remote locations often carried miniature photo labs and a
means of transmitting images through telephone lines. In 1981, Sony
unveiled the first consumer camera to use a charge-coupled device for
imaging, eliminating the need for film: the Sony Mavica. While the Mavica
saved images to disk, the images were displayed on television, and the
camera was not fully digital. In 1990, Kodak unveiled the DCS 100, the
first commercially available digital camera. Although its high cost
precluded uses other than photojournalism and professional photography,
commercial digital photography was born.
Digital imaging uses an electronic image sensor to record the image as a
set of electronic data rather than as chemical changes on film. The
primary difference between digital and chemical photography is that analog
photography resists manipulation because it involves film, optics and
photographic paper, while digital imaging is a highly manipulative medium.
This difference allows for a degree of image post-processing that is
comparatively difficult in film-based photography and permits different
communicative potentials and applications.

Digital imaging is
rapidly replacing film photography in consumer and professional
markets. Digital point-and-shoot cameras have become widespread
consumer products, outselling film cameras, and including new features
such as video and audio recording. Kodak announced in January 2004
that it would no longer produce reloadable 35 mm cameras after the end
of that year. This was interpreted as a sign of the end of film
photography. However, Kodak was at that time a minor player in the
reloadable film cameras market. In January 2006, Nikon followed suit
and announced that they will stop the production of all but two models
of their film cameras: the low-end Nikon FM10, and the high-end Nikon
F6. On May 25, 2006, Canon announced they will stop developing new
film SLR cameras.
Because photography is popularly synonymous with truth ("The camera
doesn't lie."), digital imaging has raised many ethical concerns. Many
photojournalists have declared they will not crop their pictures, or
are forbidden from combining elements of multiple photos to make
"illustrations," passing them as real photographs. Many courts will
not accept digital images as evidence because of their inherently
manipulative nature. Today's technology has made picture editing
relatively easy for even the novice photographer. |
