Conventional/traditional Photography is the use of film to capture images in a camera. The film then must be developed, resulting in negatives (negative images) of the images. These negatives are then enlarged using special equipment and paper and then printed and developed chemicals. Digital cameras capture images using sensors on a memory card, which are then transferred to a computer for printing on specialized printers. The benefits of traditional darkroom photography is the amazing quality of the photographs. Only in recent years has digital photography even began to compare to the quality of traditional film, but it is increasing in both quality and popularity. In the near future it is projected to be equal to and even surpass traditional photography. The benefits of digital photography are the ease of use and convenience. Images can be viewed and deleted instantly, instead of shooting through multiple rolls without knowing if you have a successful image.

∙ 13y agoA digital camera can be either a "still camera" or a "moving camera", or both.
A still camera captures still images - pictures that doesn't move. When people refer to something simply as a "camera", this is usually the type that's being referred to.
A moving camera, also called "motion camera", "video camera", or more commonly as "camcorder" records motion pictures - pictures that moves.
Most modern digital cameras will do both. They will capture still images as their primary function, but also have a video mode that captures motion pictures.
On the other hand, most modern camcorders will also take still images, only that their primary function is to record videos, or "moving pictures".

What is the difference between Digital and CCD cameras?
Until about ten years ago cameras used film -- clear plastic with a coating that is sensitive to light. The camera exposed light from the scene onto the film which was later removed from the camera and put in chemicals to cause the images to appear. This chemical process is called developing the film. Some professional photographers, serious amateurs, and people who have not yet bought a digital camera still use film cameras. I assume these film cameras are what you are calling 'normal.' Digital cameras create images by light from the scene onto electronic sensors which convert the light falling on them to signals that can be recorded in digital files the way computer data is recorded. These files can then be transferred to computers to be printed.

What is the difference between a photo and still photography?
A digital still camera creates files each of which contain a single image, and can be printed onto paper, if you want. A digital video camera creates a file that consists of many sequential images which, when played back at the appropriate speed, look like moving images (as on TV or in the movies). You might be able to print a single image from that file if you had the right software, but you could not, and would not want to, print the entire file.
