digital cameras verse old film cameras, is there any advantage to using any particular one, through the discussion we found that they both that positives and negative that made it had to see if there was a clear winner. film based cameras mean that you always have a copy of the photos and theres the aspect of surprise when they are picked up form the developers, in comparison to the digital camera where photos are stored on the computer and you can choose the photos you want developed. however there the potential for photos to be lost if the computer crashes or photos are accidentally deleted. digital cameras can delete the photos that you don't want to print, up side to this is that you will never take a bad photo. in both film and digital cameras there is the need for batteries, in the film cameras film is needed, in digital cameras they need memory sticks.
digital images can be stored, transfered and manipulated using other technology such as photos can be emailed, photos can be put on communications websites such as flicker, myspace, bebo, face book etc. Photos can be discorded and manipulated using photo shop to change the aspects and people in the photos
although digital photos are easy to take, transfer and manipulate, there are many ethical issues that need to be taken into consideration. when OTs take photos on home visit to make things easier and help to describe setting informed consent is needed, as the privacy of the client is being invaded. there is also the possibility that those private photos could get stolen and all information would be lost and the clients information could be used inappropriately. if pictures are put on line, there is a chance that people could manipulate and change the photo with out you unaware. with cameras on phone people are able to take photos in situations where cameras might not be and take them with out people knowing.
photos are being more regularly used in occupational therapy practice, as stated above photos are taken when on home visits. community OTs take photos when they are taking part in activity's to document and show the clients activities within a group. photos are also used to show how clients are seated in wheel chairs.

the term mega pixel reefers to a square that will sit on the mat of your picture. the more pixels means the better the quality photo. there are 1 million pots of light. 6 or 7 pixels for good pictures.
