Also, you have to entrust your film to someone else, so you can't fiddle about with the print quality either - sometimes comes back a disappointing colour etc.<br> I work in a nursery school, and can let the kids loose with my Cannon digital, without worrying too much about getting it back in one piece.<br> So, yes, digital for me then.http://raajdatta.blog.co.uk/2006/03/27/film_cameras_vs_digital_cameras~677387/#c890067http://raajdatta.blog.co.uk/2006/03/27/film_cameras_vs_digital_cameras~677387/#c876882tag:raajdatta.blog.co.uk,2006-03-27:/2006/03/27/film_cameras_vs_digital_cameras~677387/#c876882Mon, 27 Mar 2006 11:55:14 +0200I just had one of each stolen. Both quality Nikon cameras, the 35mm was 8 years old and would have lasted another 80. The digital was 3 years old and would have lasted another 3 years maybe. The digital was fantastic for insect macros, the 35mm was better at landscapes and in poor light. Having a mass of slides is more interesting to browse through than a hard drive full of digital images.<br> <br> I have bought a replacement camera, just a cheap Canon digital, which is ideal for macros, not fantastic but good enough for snapping away. Fits into a pocket out of sight very easily. As and when the insurance comes through for my stolen cameras I will be looking at DSLRs, possibly a Nikon. The image quality is very good with the latest batch of 10MB+ dslrs especially when used with quality lenses and of course if the photographer is any good.<br> <br> Nikon has stopped making 35mm cameras except for its flagship F6, Konica Minolta has stopped making cameras. Film companies, even Kodak have stopped making film. So the choice soon will be digital or digital. Sure slide film is still superior to digital but not for much longer. Scanning slides or negatives for web use requires a film scanner, another expensive gadget and results are often disappointing.<br> <br> Another point is what will you use the camera for? Unless you are a professional photographer or very serious amateur then a good quality digicam with quality lens is more than ehough for most people.http://raajdatta.blog.co.uk/2006/03/27/film_cameras_vs_digital_cameras~677387/#c876882
