II. The Difference Between Film and Digital Cameras

a picture, so you come home with only good pictures; you can show them on the TV set in

the hotel lobby during cocktail hour, or email pictures from your laptop instead of sending

postcards; and finally, you can edit and archive your pictures and create fascinating vaca-

of film is that you are used to it, and less things can go wrong. Great pictures can not be

made easier, if you have the patience to go to a photo lab. They can give you even a CD

with your digitized film pictures.

But besides these general differences, SeaLife research has developed unique special
