My solution was to get a very cheap (less than $200 used) digital camera and use it for things I know I want to distribute only via the www. This way I still have quality with no more investment (film) and digital when needed (mostly eBay stuff), and I can still take my high quality film images I create underwater and scan them if I really need them on the web. Until I can afford a digital camera that can equal Kodachrome (and someone starts making them) I will stick with film..... by the way, the digital recorders respond to light differently than film too, so if you were to shoot identical images on film and digitally you will see a difference beyond just pixels..... Both formats have their place in life, and will for some time, but I must say I was told in 1990 while working in a high end camera store in Rochester, NY that film cameras would be dead in 10 years because of digital. It's been 13 and they are still making film cameras, granted they are suffering a slump in sales growth due to digital, but not dead...... yet..... -- Alan Miller Underwater Photographer http://home.earthlink.net/~uwphoto/ 9600/233 w/ G3/400 XLR8 ZIF, 1.5 G RAM eBay ID uwphotoer Live each day like it is your last because someday you'll be right. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
