L. C. is correct about going digital. It's not going to be long and you will have no choice but to buy digital if you are buying a new camera. Nikon anounced this last week that they are only going to be making 2 film cameras...a $2500 unit and a very low end (199) all manual unit...and concentrating on the digital market. They are even shutting down production on their enlarging lenses for the dark room. Last year Kodak stopped all R&D in the film area and moved all of their color film production to China. I am sure it won't be long untill all of the other manufactures follow the same path.

Another note...Digital doesn't have to be as complex as some people make it out be. It can be as simple as taking a Point -N- Shoot digital, snapping shots, taking the memory card into your photo lab, put it in thier machine, pick out the photos you want, have them put the entire card onto a CD and your done. Erase the memory card and you are ready to go again.

OR...you can get a DSLR, shoot in full auto OR manual, put the images onto the computer (or not), make all of your color, levels, toning, saturation, contrast, sharpness, and etc. adjustments in Photoshop, save it to CD and take the CD to the photo lab for printing.
