I do not want to distract too much from the context of this question but I am finding myself increasingly using film cameras lately. I have been using the *istDs as my main camera and really enjoy it. I also think that the resolution is as good or better than the film. I realize all that. However, I do not enjoy just seeing photos on my computer screen and always try to print as many as possible. But when printed, I cannot help noticing that the digital images are always flat (not always but many times). I noticed this on TV. We have a large rear projection TV which takes up space in our room. So, naturally, I was interested in one of those thin digital TV but we observed the same thing. Our rear projection TV which of course is the CRT has far more 3D-like depth. This was discussed everywhere (like vinyl vs CD etc etc) but in case of the digital image, it must have something to do with the edge of it represented by 0 and 1, i.e., mosaic, rather than the continuous analogue edge which has more info. Well, I leave it to experts but with film cameras, I pay more attention to how it "should" look in the final "print" and there is of course the thrill of picking up the printed images from a lab. No, I am not pretending to be one of those self-claimed pros who say they prefer films, like a fad. I genuinely prefer films. Maybe the next 10mp Pentax D might begin to change this perception. I just hope that film won't go obsolete too quickly, and I am trying to keep the habit of using my film cameras as much as possible before too much convenience of digicam completely overwhelms me :-).
