I feel your pain. Since I only shoot color, I find that the whole digital approach is a better fit for me. Digital better fits my strengths and weaknesses, and because of that I get better photos using my *istD than my MZ-S. Film has advantages, but I don't do the kind of photography that takes advantage of them.
Actually, part of me is tempted to take my SP500 to G.M. and use that for the photo contest, just for old times sake. I'd be restricted to a 55 mm lens, but hey, that's part of the fun.
