The interesting thing about these discussions is that most of us do not mention our specific needs when making comments about digital. TV would lose sales in the market he is in if he was not doing digital. He has little choice in the matter. Me, I am out of the market, do a little bit personal photography, have a very limited income, and therefore digital makes no economic sense at all. You sound like you are somewhere in the middle and spending on a digital camera is no problem for you, so it is a case of liking you new toys.
For someone like TV, not going digital is economic suicide. For someone like you it is a personal decision. For someone like me it is nearly an impossibility beyond a low-end P&S.
Like most economic decisions, what you should do depends upon your needs, means, and desires. It really has little to do with which is better.

the vast majority aren't people on this list. one of the reasons for being here is that the members say that they take their photography seriously, yet, i hear people on this list struggle to get up to a few hundred photos a year. they argue and moan over the digital wave overtaking us. they say they take take their photography seriously, but they don't seem to.
