First digital camera - opinions wanted.
Hello. I'm an old school film shooter. I want to buy my first digital
camera. Has digital reached (or passed?) the level of quality comparable to 35mm film yet? Any constructive suggestions on how to begin my search would be highly appreciated. Thank you. Wilbur |

To answer your question, what gear do you have, as that *could* be seminal to recommendations. What sort of photog to you anticipate doing with a digital camera? -- John McWilliams |

Any constructive suggestions on how to begin my search would be highly appreciated. Thank you. Wilbur The issue about film quality versus digital quality is a contentious one. Given certain circumstances, they are comparable. Fine grain B&W has the edge in the resolution and dynamic range arenas. Spend some time at sources such as www.depreview.com looking at the reviews and the images. Very informative and worth your time. The biggest difference is the software that one can use (without scanning film) to realize one's goals. Cost is another issue ... digital usually costs more up front but allows more experimentation and makes it feasible to shoot lots and lots of frames. Currently, I'm 100% digital but do miss B&W film and might someday revisit that medium. |

Whoops! http://www.dpreview.com Thanks! I've spent the past 3 hours exploring that site. It is probably the best site I've seen for digital cameras, but I would also like to see some comparison between digital and traditional photography. Wilbur |
