Film or Digital?

I am a film purist as much as anyone, but saying Digital takes too long or comes out all grainy is ignorant. Have you seen any test shots from a Digital back? Or a 1Ds? or a Kodak PRO SLR? Digital is super convenient and better suited for some types of photography, like journalism? Think of what a hassle journalists in foreign countries had to deal with to get their pictures back to the states. Digital is getting better, just as film is getting better. The cameras and films and accessories are all getting better. If you don't like digital, just dont use it, but don't be ignorant about it.

Yeah, you have to pay if you want decent results. I'm finally getting something good once I sell my GL1. Canon 10D if my a guy my brother knows can get me that cheap, or else a D70. Even if you forget that you'll save money in the long-term, the convenience of digital is a huge selling point.

if im just taking pictures of regular shit, digital is fine. i do prefer using 35mm film in my k1000 to that any day though. digital is much easier to use, thats why i got one. no light meter to fuss with or anything

i still dont think u can beat the quality of a positive from a 4x5 or 8x10

but both film and digital are better in diffrent situations.

i like the challenge of film.
i'm still learning how to shoot it.
it seems like you put more into it, so it's more rewarding.
