The visit to photo shops for the final chemical processing to turn the films into photos, usually a costly and time-consuming step, is also a thing of the past.
They have quickly become old-fashioned and have been replaced by digital cameras, and especially smartphones.
Now photographers simply insert tiny memory cards into their equipment and feel free to take hundreds of photos.
They can also view photos immediately after shooting and choose which ones they want to save on memory cards or computer without worrying about the money they would have to fork over to photo shops.
