You make a good point Bill. What I meant about "having the right to" is that whether it be digital or film cameras, we have that right to enjoy what means we choose. And the F5 is one helluva great professional camera! Helen :^) |

It got be back into photography in a big way....After spending that kind of money, you can't let it sit on a shelf....I have taken as many pictures since I bought it as I did in my entire life up to that point. I just wish that quantity was the equivalent of quality.....:^) |

Went to Yellowstone last fall. Most P&S users were digital. For SLR
users, I'd say that film definitely outnumbered Digital-SLRs. On Thu, 05 Oct 2006 08:57:01 -0400, Robert Feinman wrote: I'm back from a trip to New England and I didn't notice a single person shooting film. (This may not be exactly true since many point and shoots look like their digital brothers). Another thing I noticed is that there were very few people using disposable cameras either. It seems that people are willing to buy a digital camera where in the past they weren't willing to buy a reloadable film camera. I must say that the trend towards shooting while looking at the back screen is now almost universal. Nobody seems to use the viewfinder (if they even have one). This posture can't be good for minimizing camera shake, especially since many older folks need to hold it fairly far out to see the screen in focus. I did meet a few people with battery problems which put a sudden end to their shooting. |

It has been over a year now since I have seen someone using a film SLR. It is rare to see anyone shooting film now and mostly they are using either a cheap point and shoot or a disposable camera. Like I said, I went to Yellowstone and counted the number of film SLRs vs. digital SLRs. I don't remember the exact counts, but there were more film SLRs than digital. |
