After six years of continuous effort, electronic photography is beginning to make progress, especially in industrial and commercial photo applications. For industrial locations, electronic photography has been a way of controlling environmental concerns as well as a way of creating greater cost efficiency.For commercial studios, digital still photography has allowed the direct input of product photography ready for placing in a final page, saving up to a week of production time in many cases.There is some usage in the photo journalism market of the electronic still image because of the speed of image availability and the ease of transmitting images. Early efforts were slowed because many felt that the image produced lacked resolution. More importantly, the exposure index of the analog systems was considerably under the exposure index 400 to 1600 films commonly used. New digital cameras from Kodak have come closer in meeting the needs of photo journalists both in resolution and exposure speed.
