- You save money and time by avoiding film scans ($50 to $100 per scan X number of scans = WOW).
- Receive final photos either as an upload via ftp, on a CD, or prints.
- View the entire shoot online, if desired. This allows anyone who has the proper password to view the job from a PC anywhere in the world.
- Leave the shoot with confidence that you have at least one finished file ready to go to press.
- Save shooting time by viewing an immediately captured 'polaroid' soft-proof that can be zoomed in upon to see if there are any rolls of gaffers tape or other stray items left on the set. This gives me the ability to improve the photo in progress.
- Losing a piece of film would be tragic but, with digital there is a back-up. I always have multiple back-ups of the shoot on and off site.
- Increase flexibility by shooting in color, then converting to black and white for grayscale output.
- Toss out poorly maintained light boxes, which made color evaluations next to impossible.
- Color balance nightmares are a thing of he past. Almost all color lighting situations are now adjustable in-camera and/or during post-production. Shooting under different lighting conditions no longer requires a stack of color correction filters in front of the camera.
- Produce prints that are consistent from one print to the next. Today's inkjet print technology produces prints that are better and as stable as a photo labs' 'C' prints.
- No more dealing with scratched film.
- Organizing digital files is much easier to deal with than dozens of rolls of film.
- Help the environment by eliminating the use of toxic photo processing chemicals.
- Reduce travel hassles since digital files are not susceptible to x-ray damage like film is.
