Hmmm.

I see your point.  I, of course, am in the opposite position.  I have
no digital cameras, and only shoot film.

I'm just wondering if it's not a good idea to keep one film body
around.  Some day, shooting some film might be useful.  Maybe a client
(or Wendy herself) may want slides or something.  Maybe she'll see the
light, and realize that real photographers shoot Tri-X, and that
digital will never replicate the "real Tri-X" look <only joking, don't
everyone start yelling at me>.

Seriously, she'll have the 20D for digital.  She can't can't use the
*istD as a backup for that, due to lens incompatibility.

I say keep one film body, "just in case".  But that's just me.

cheers,
frank
