Re: EOS Digital and Slide or Print film?

[david]

you don't need to go entirely one way or the other, use both depending 
on what the end output you want is.  If you can control exposure (ie be 
patient) slide's the way to go, but for more 'snap shot' stuff print 
film's larger tolerance might me the better way to go.

Slide film tends to be better developed so you could determine if your 
scratches are from development or from the camera.  The downside of 
slide film is that you need a light box to assess the image to see if 
it is something you want to scan or not.  I end up using my LCD monitor 
with a white desktop.

While I have a G2 and love it, I would have bought a digital Rebel over 
a G5 if size didn't matter.  The G series has a couple of features that 
the digiRebel doesn't have (flash exposure compensation for one) but 
manual exposure is much more intuitive.

At least the G5 has a hot shoe - the single biggest improvement you can 
make to 'family' shots is too get an external flash.

I'll guess that you'll find yourself doing more and more stuff with the 
G5 and less with film/scanning.  That extra step is time better spent 
on photography, not driving a mouse.
