Print Photography VS. Digital Photography

Print Photography:
Pros:
High Image quality
Can better utilize natural lighting
Final work is physical
Generally taken more seriously in art community
Special filtering effects are more challenging, ergo, more impressive
cons
Film is easily damaged
Photographers won't recieve feedback as quickly
Require more skill
Sometimes require expensive development chemicals
Work can't (as easily) be posted online

Digital Photography
Pros
Effects can be manipulated digitally with computer
Finished photos can be saved and published digitally and online
Cameras are generally not as easily damaged
Photographers can receive quick feedback
Don't have to be developed
cons
Lower quality photos
Cameras tend to have longer shutter lag
Digital zoom creates a blur that doesn't come with optical zoom
Less skill makes final product seem less impressive
Higher initial cost
