newer cameras have more mega pixels for less the price. which basically means you get a better picture on cameras now than you would on an older camera. Along with being smaller that the older ones and have a better flash. The pictures are also in color with the newer ones as for the older cameras are black and white.

well this depends on if your referring to Film Cameras as the old cameras or if your referring to older Digital Cameras

the difference between Film and Digital cameras is that with Digital Cameras your able to have the image processed immediately after shooting and can have it viewed on an LCD Display meaning you waist less money waisting Film or having to buy Chemicals, another upper hand with using Digital is that you can fit more Photographs in a Memory Card compared to a 100ft roll of Bulk Film, maximum being only around 140 frames per 100ft compared to thousands on an 8GB SDHC Memory card on a 10MP Camera.

The down side to Digital is that it can be much more confusing to use compared to a Film SLR Camera where with Film Cameras you have dials for controlling how the frame should be exposed as for Digital many cameras can take a while to prepare (White Balance, ISO, etc) and some Digital Cameras can have Lag time due to the time it takes for it to Focus (when on Auto Focus) another problem with Digital is that it requires a Battery/'s to work as for Film Cameras many run using Mechanical Shutter and not Electromagnetic (meaning it does not use any power source)
