Taking photos in Central Park, New York City, N.Y.

• These days digital cameras do everything film cameras can — and more.
  
• Digital's big advantage is its immediacy.
  
• With a digital camera, once you get the shot you like you can take charge of the printing yourself.
  
• The quality of prints that you can produce at home completely matches the prints you will get from any photo store.
  
• You can save money on processing by printing only the best shots, but be careful — the cost of printer and supplies can sneak up on you.
  
• The film camera will be easier on your pocketbook up front.
  
• Film cameras are less likely to become obsolete. The technological advances will come in the film, not the camera.
