I have to get a decent digital camera, one of these days. I'm still using
film. Dunno why but I do like film.

Just keep in mind, in film Fuji was more blue/green, kodak, more
red/brown, etc, the same is kinda for digital, I see quite a difference
between my Fuji,Canon and Konica dig cams. My Canon is better in low
light and indoors while my Konica excells in outdoor....

The pics I posted of my house were by the Canon, the Konica didn't seem
to have a fast enough 'shutter speed' as every pic was blurry...

See what others pics look like in family and friends then choose make
accordingly...

I meant printed pics from film cameras , sorry trying to be less wordy
to save typing. Our family always found the depending on the brand of
film, you got discernable difference in colouration, and if you took
them to be developed by someone who's equipment was set for the other
brand then things only got worse ! once in a while hideous colouring...

Now adays I don't see a difference in print paper, maybe in printers a
bit, but also the software makes a difference too, too many variables
other than when viewing digital pics on the screen. I do see a
difference between my cameras when viewing on same monitor.

I use Fuji, 100ASA. I didn't notice color-shift, just that I preferred
the look of the Fuji.

The only digital I have so far is some thing ahtat I got at Target a
couple years back; it's suppsoed to be a combination camera and
"net-cam", and has a limited "movie" capacity. IOW, it's crap, but I
wanted to try digital before committing large amounts of cash to one.

It goes through batteries like water :p

THe one problem with film is that the speed can't be changed. I tend to
take high-detail stills using a tripod, but that makes any sort of bird
or insect photography quite a challenge, because the critters tend to
dart around.

I don't photograph people.

With photos, same as with any other creative activity - I go with my own
eyes, my own artistic vision; I do photos for myself, not to submit them
to some sort of popularity poll. Heck, the vast majority of my stuff,
nobody sees (or hears, or reads). I do it becasue I can't not do it;
the opinions of others are irrelevant.
