ABSTRACT
For the photographer, whose technology has remained virtually unchanged for more than fifty years, the change has been, and will continue to be, dramatic. To some, very exciting with great potential, to others. a highly stressful period involving a steep learning curve and possibly large capital investment. But there is no doubt that digital imaging is here to stay, and whilst film will continue to be used for a considerable time yet (the introduction of APS - the Advanced Photographic System, in late 1995 by a consortium of the world’s leading photographic suppliers, has been successful in revitalizing the amateur photographic market with a new film system), no photographer can afford to ignore and at least understand the potential of digital imaging.
