Question

Help answer this question below.

Do you use only a digital camera now or do you still use a 35mm? Or both? I will exclude cell phone cameras because I don't consider them to be a true camera.

    I prefer digital cameras because I can see the photo before it goes to print.

    Well I like my film cameras, they look a lot cooler than any digital camera. Plus my film cameras are a lot easier to use than my digital one. (Example: My Pentax Pino 35 has two buttons: shutter release and flash control. My Olympus digital has 14 [edit: 15, and not one of them controls the flash!])
    The cost isn't much of a difference, per 24 pictures, I pay about $6-$7 either way.
    I think the only two advantages digital cameras have is being able to delete unwanted pictures, and digital convienience: the easiest and fastest way for me to put a picture of something on the internet is to use a digital camera. Sure, I could take a Polaroid and scan it, but then I just wasted a Polaroid on a pair of shoes I'm selling on eBay. So: Digital for computer stuff, film for everything else. Actually, a lot of times I catch myself taking digital shots of my film pictures, and posting them on the internet. Why not just use the digital? Well, it goes back to ease of use, and also a degree of unprofessionalism that adds character to a shot. You just don't get that with digital cameras.

    Digital all the way. With my old camera, I'd go through an entire roll and have maybe 1 good shot to show for it mostly due to backscatter or bubbles. Changing rolls is impossible underwater. My new digital is awesome, the movie feature is neat too.

    I like my film camera because it is so much more hands-on. You can do so many techniques that you can't do with the average digital camera, believe it or not. I, specifically, am talking about an SLR here. Things like blur motion, double exposures are a couple of examples. I'm sure if you tinkered around with the prgram enough you could do it, but it is so much more rewarding when you do it yourself. Seeing what the film looks like after being developed is an amazing feeling, especially after a good shoot.

    Digital cameras are nice, too. They give you a lot of options that eliminate the need for a lot of things film cameras can do. Now you can distortion, change the coloring, and eliminate problems straight from the camera or computer, depending on your camera. If you mess up, you can re-take. There are seldom as many mess-ups, because you can see it in the screen prior to shooting.

    Both have uses that are better for one than the other.

    Film is more for photography, as an art or profession kind of thing.

    Digital is more for here-and-now type pictures. Convenience and user-friendlieness.

    They both have advantages and I use both, but for different things. I prefer film more, though.

    digital: you can see the picture right afterward, dont have to pay to have printed, download photos onto computer, print them out yourself, and less hassle. can you do any of that stuff with a film camera, mikol5 doesnt think so

    Digital camera's are convenient and fun, but i think 35mm is still better.

    I use both. My 35mm is a good one, and can still do things my digital can't even though the digital is great for photo editing and email of course.

    I use digital for everything except underwater photography. For that I have a 35mm film camera with a waterproof case.

    digital because then you can take multiple pictures without worrying about wasting film and the pictures can be pointless. also there easier to share with others by uploading to your computer.

    I love my film pictures much more than my digital. Even if you can do cool effects to your digital, the film looks more realistic than ever.

    I like the ability to download pix from our digital camera, but frankly, we have had nothing but trouble with it... maybe we need to buy another brand - we have a Kodak.

    Presently, I shoot digital 95% of the time. When I'm able to build my own dark room, I will return to shooting primarily black and white film with my 35mm slr and a large-format camera.
