Difference between analog and digital multimeter

Analog multimeter	digital multimeter
The analog multimeter comprises a scale and deflection pointer which actually indicates the value to be measured on the scale.	In the digital multimeter a digital display like LCD directly displays the value.
In analog multimeter measurement speed is slow.	In digital multimeter measurement speed is quick.
Accuracy in analog multimeters is better suited for a varying signal or for a range.	Accuracy in a digital multimeter is Not suitable for varying signals, it displays an average value only.
It does not need a battery or external power source.	It requires a battery to operate, and consumes more power.
In the initial setup I need to adjust the pointer to zero.	In the initial setup no zero adjustment is needed.
Measurement range is less than the digital range.	Measurement range is greater than the digital range but limited by resolution of analog to digital converter.
Not shock or scratch the resistance owing to moving parts, like the pointer needle.	Greater shock and scratch the resistance, as there are no moving parts.
