Answer 5

If you only want 2 advantages, you leave a lot open. There are ~many~ advantages to digital cameras. I will note, depending on the digital camera, there may also be disadvantages. But on to the list, as I will be giving you far more than just 2:

1: digital cameras are generally smaller. Why? No need to have space to allow a roll of film (be it 35mm or APS or 110mm or 120mm) to spool through.

2: "instant" everything. You can see your picture right after. You can delete your picture and make it as though it was never taken. You can print your pictures instantly (or in a shorter period of time than film if you continue going to a photo lab).

3: customization. You can customize how your camera takes photos. No longer do you have to request for your photos to be processed and printed as black & white or sepia tone, you can do that right in the camera before you take the photo in many models.

4: easy editing. You can edit your own photos. How complexly is up to you. You can do simple easy things like brightening or darkening, or slightly more complex things like removing (or adding in) people or objects.

5: numberous battery options. Film cameras (with the exception of those that could use AA or AAA batteries) can not take rechargeable batteries. Certain models of digi-cams let you use a proprietary lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery that is fully rechargeable and lasts an exceptionally long time. Others let you still use AA batteries, be they lithium formula or rechargeable or regular alkaline.

6: lower end cost. With digital, you have a lower end cost overall. You do not need to print everything you take (you can if you wish to), and you do not need to continually buy new memory when one fills up thanks to the delete and/or format functions in the camera and at the computer. Not only that, but also generally developing/processing costs are lower even when printing at home. Developing costs for film have gone up, and printing costs for digital have dropped drastically from what they used to be.

7: longer storage. You can store your images in full colour (or black & white) on your computer, on CD's, DVD's, hard drives, USB memory, etcetera. You do not usually need to special-store these items, though with CD's and DVD's it is recommended. Negatives need to be kept in better conditions (generally free of dust and also in an acid-free environment to keep from discolouring). They are also not as easy to quickly identify as the image is reversed in colour, and often quite small.

8: no need to "specially handle" your camera or your media either at the airport or when wishing to remove it. Unlike film, which you could not allow to be sent through the x-ray machines in airport security, and had to be very careful with when opening the camera to either fix a problem or remove the roll for processing.

9: Instant sharing of photos. With negatives, if you want to send someone some pictures, you have to get 'em printed, then mail the prints off. With digital, you can instantly e-mail off digital copies of the original images. If you want the person to receive prints, more often than not you can send the photos online to a photo printing company that is close to them and simply let them know that there are prints there (of course leaving the pick-up information such as phone number and name to use to retrieve the photos from the printing company).

Just to even it out a little, there are some slight disadvantages to digital.

1: you can delete. Many a lovely shot has been lost due to the accidental hit of the delete button.

2: smaller sensor (for point & shoot and lower-end DSLR cameras). The smaller sensor means that some prints will have a little more noise (discoloured pixels) when shooting in darker conditions or with higher ISO speeds.

3: there is still just something that digital cannot capture that film can. To the best of what I've been hearing and seeing for myself, there is no way to truly figure out what this quality is.

There are all the advantages (and disadvantages) to digital that I could come up with. Sorry it was not strictly two.
