I tried to say much the same two days ago in a comment that apparently disappeared.<br /><br />I'm not fighting, as Banjo suggests, just taking a temporary retreat. Digital will certainly "win" for most people, but that's partly due to love of gadgetry and intense advertising pressure as much as a genuine pro/con comparison.<br /><br />At the risk of being curmudgeonly, I'd say 35mm and digital are both much TOO convenient; how many snapshots, whether printed or on-screen, does anyone honestly look at more than once or twice? Back when photography was a really big deal, with black hoods and box cameras and time exposures, the ratio of "winners" was paradoxically way higher. But of course, no one, including me, wants to go back there.Barbarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04038516078498541056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579277223676561905.post-36817487555673556302010-07-22T06:47:45.929-07:002010-07-22T06:47:45.929-07:00Yeah, I have a great digital Kodak z650 (now proba...Yeah, I have a great digital Kodak z650 (now probably a $200 camera) that's lasted 5 years so far, but I do know of many that have died after one year. For most settings, digitals are king, but I admire your stamina on the traditional. I don't think film will disappear entirely, but it will be something you have to get at a specialty store, a la art supplies.Chad Woodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08852674870506731426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579277223676561905.post-5099920000668912102010-07-19T13:55:29.273-07:002010-07-19T13:55:29.273-07:00I fear you are fighting a glacier.

Also, I think you can something pretty good, by digital standards, WAY under $700. I'm just sayin' . . . I'll never go back.Banjo52https://www.blogger.com/profile/04342397136888422440noreply@blogger.com
