ABSTRACT 
An analytical study has been made to compare the 
imagery from a solid-state array camera and a photographic 
Film camera operating under the same conditions. Both 
digital and analog forms of the imagery from the two 
systems are compared in terms of signal-to-noise ratio 
and minimum detectable ground reflectance difference. 
It is shown that the choice of system for remote sensing 
depends on the application.
