Am I the only one left?

My 35mm is old but still takes great pictures. To much of a hassle with a digital one if you ask me.

To add on to my first post. The big reason I hate the digital is because you just can't print the same quality pictures that you can with a real camera. I like to have a hard copy of my pictures. Not something just floating around in cyberspace or on my harddrive. I LOVE flipping through photo albums filled with memories. I don't care how good the digital camera is, the printer, the paper or the ink are, the pictures are not the same quality as my real camera (my dad has one of the top digital Nikons, the best photo printer, and buys only the best paper and ink; we don't mess around with pictures in my family). And if I were to take the memory card to the photo place and have them printed there it would cost pretty close to the same to have pictures printed, and they still wouldn't be the same quality
Plus I hate having to charge batteries all the time.

I am not alone...I am not alone...

I use both but really prefer the way my film turns out over the digital prints. I have a Canon Rebel 2000 SLR with different lenses and a point and shoot Canon (can't remember what model). I love the digital's size, but I still took my huge camera case with me to WDW. I took some great shots of the decorations on the castle with the zoom lens. Until I can't find film or have it processed, I will continue to use my SLR!

When I first got the digital, I still used the 35 mm most of the time, the digital but rarely..............it eventually eased over to the opposite now, but I do still use it.

Don't feel alone, I am an Elph junkie. My dh bought me my Elph 3 years ago and then he bought me a digital. DS got the digital. He can keep the new-fangled contraption. I want my Elf. I love my Elph. Nobody better try and buy me anything else.

I do not want to download, upload, reload or whatever you do with a digital. I want to take my 35mm, process it and walk away with physical evidence of my photographing expertise (sometimes lack thereof). I want proof to put in my scrapbook and memories that I can hold in my hand.

I just upgraded my little Elph to the better one but still 35mm...I guess I am in a rut. Hope it takes good pictures for Disney!

I still love my old Canon camera that dates the pictures. Where I bring the film to be developed it only takes one day and they give you a free cd of the pics, this way i can still post pics online without a digital camera. Plus a free roll of film!

I know alot of people with digital cameras; they never print the pictures so no one ever sees them.

(PS - I am also the only person I know who doesn't have a cell phone!)

I still use my 35mm, though. It has come in handy when my batteries ran out in my digital or when I want to use black and white film. Plus, once my computer got a virus and my photos were inaccessible. Luckily, I had them on my 35mm camera so I didn't despair.

extra batteries are a must with a digital camera, rather than B&W film. shoot digital and convert to B&W with your computer

which printer does your dad have, a properly exposed digital image from a good camera will yield a print equal to or better than 35mm...




if your photo lab isn't producing pics as good as film pics, switch labs

I can upload my pics to my fotki site, order 4x6 prints at $.09 a piece and have them in my hands in 2-3 days....when I use Mpix.com for my professional stuff, I have the pics in hand within 24 hours... and both labs provide prints equal to 35mm, they use the same paper

My DD is taking a photography class this semester and they actually take black and white pictures and develop them. For the class we actually dug out our Cannon AE1 SLR that we bought for my wife in college. I think we got it in 1979 so its almost 27 years old and when DD took it to class the teacher made a big fuss over it because supposedly its a highly sought camera. We use digital almost exclusively but my DD is learning the joys of 35mm for the first time.
