Overcome the Film Limitations
Most of the conventional video cameras perform the task to capture video by the film. However, the shortage of film will make 
the shooter to take the full length of the video. Besides the poor film developmental process is the reason of opting-out the use of conventional video cameras. The modern society is highly dependent on the use of computers. Everything is done with the help of a computer. The conventional video cameras cannot be synchronized with computer and hence this is one of the main reasons for choosing out it. The people want to check the video quality during shooting. The film based video cameras do not have the option to show the preview of the captured videos. On the other hand, the high definition digital cameras with video feature provide the option of previewing the video. Hence the film limitation of the conventional video cameras is the main reason to prefer digital cameras.
The Better Image Quality
This is a major reason to choose digital cameras to shoot the video. The high definition digital camera provides a clear and crisp image quality which cannot be obtained from the older version of the film based video cameras.
Editing of the Videos
The great advantage of using the digital camera to shoot video is 
the editing feature. As digital cameras can be attached to the computer, the videos can be edited by professional software after transferring to the computer. The film based video camera lacks this option also.
The Storage Problem
Film-based video cameras need a huge space to store films. Moreover, the films will get lost their quality because of storing for longer times. This problem does not exist in the case of digital cameras. The digital cameras usually have huge internal storage which is used to store the media. Besides, the user can use the external secure digital or SD card of varying storage capacity to store the media. The SD cards do not need huge space to be stored and the cards exist unaffected for many time.
The Transmission of the Media
There is a problem to propagate the media from one place to another place in case of film-based cameras. The film media should be transmitted physically; it cannot be moved or copied easily. On the other hand, digital cameras provide the easy process of copying, transferring the videos by a digital method using the computer. Another problem with the film based media is after copying from the original one the duplicate video lacks the quality. The digital cameras do not have the limitation. In the case of the high definition digital camera, the user can produce many copies as he or she wishes.
