> Digital benefits (imo):
> - cheaper to use (meaningful if you shoot a lot)
I think this is wishful thinking. I don't think digital is cheaper than
film. You'll need a computer of some sort. And a printer. And paper. And
cartridges. Or you can have your digital files output on say, a Fuji
Frontier system, at your local lab. (back to spending money at the lab
again) Then there's all the time you would spend printing and trimming, not
mention tweaking, retouching, experimenting in photoshop, or whatever. I
think it *is* true to say it doesn't cost you anything to take more pictures
than you would with a film camera. Your only cost is memory and batteries.
You also forgot to mention that you can instantly change ISO ("film") speeds
with a digital camera. Very handy.
I think for me, the tempting thing about going digital is not about saving.
It's about having more control over the image - at all stages of the
process. When I take the picture, when I process the picture, and when I
post-process the picture. In a sense, it seems reasonable to pay MORE for
that type of control - the kind you can't get with a film camera.
