So guys, Digital or Film?

Postby gries818 on Mon Oct 16, 2006 5:06 pm

I personally prefer digital because I love to photo retouch and plus I find it easier.

I guess some people swear by film so its a question worth asking.

I'll never go back to film, for as poor a photographer as I am, I need to be able to delete, delete. :lol:

Instant gratification is great. Also great being able to send photo around the world for opinion or just to show off. Digital is the way to go.

I voted digital but I still miss the vinegary smell of the darkroom. :)

Well I guess you guys are going to leave it up to the old photographer to wave the film banner...
IMO film has a feel and clarity that cannot be beat (still at this point) by digital, there is just something about a continuous tone photo, a richness, a quality that digital just does not have. In my opinion I doubt that digital will ever reach that level. Not to say that digital isn

Personally i have to go digital, simply because i have gottem to use the <a href="http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelDetailAct&fcategoryid=139&modelid=10598" target="_new">canon EOS-1Ds Mark II</a> and the pictures came out ... WOW...But they retail for around $8,000 so i dont think i am going to be buying one soon, though i wouldn't mind having one for X-Mas or my 22 B-Day. :)
