As a fellow ORDer, My wife and I take both film and digital cameras on our vacations. Sometimes even the camcorder. It seems that the film camera is getting used less and less. Even with film, when I get home and pay for them to get developed, I end up scanning them into the computer anyway. Quite a pain in the arse if you took more than 2 rolls. Sometimes when I am real lazy, I will take a digital picture of the film picture I make a slideshow on a cheap CDR with a complete audio soundtrack(mp3) that is playable on any dvd player. Parents and friends like this very much. They think I am a genious even though it is very easy to do. Pics much easier to email to people versus paying $$$ for getting mulriple prints. I have an APS film camera so film and developing are serious $$$. Digital storage is so cheap now. I have taken 1000+ pictures on one 128 MB stick and still had lots of space left on high quality setting. Seeing as you live in a city that has CDW and Abtelectronics, is it time to persuade to go digital yet? I don't think that you will like the quality of the pics that come out of your digital camera. Please don't use that as a reference. Let me know if you have any questions.
