2. Shutter delay: The delay between clicking the shutter and capturing the image is often slow, especially on entry-level digital cameras. For moving subjects this often means that the subject has moved away from the point of focus. Film cameras, by contrast, respond to the shutter virtually instantaneously.

3. Daylight viewing: Sunlight will "bleach out" the LCD screen: often the photographer is forced to "cup" the viewer with one hand while simultaneously trying to take the picture.
