If you want to go cheaper, I wouldn't switch to digital. Buy a Rebel 2000 or something like that and a decent scanner that can scan film. Total cost will be around 500 or so.

Deuce 1 #3 March 5, 2004 Be patient and wait until you can get a digital rebel. Otherwise you will outgrow whatever compromise you end up getting and you will be out that money too. The two guys on my DZ who were shooting Sony and Canon point and shoots have gone Rebel, so that money is lost . It's more efficient to wait and get something good. Even the guys with Rebels are starting to come up against the capability of the camera, and are wanting the 10D. Don't do it, Jake. Wait and get a Rebel on Ebay.

BETO74 0 #5 March 5, 2004 That's what I did, I still don't have that many jumps on stills and did not wanna risk it, is good to know somebody else came up with the same reasoning.http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you only get your film developed (and not printed), it's fairly cheap to shoot film. It's just the instant gratification (or disappointment sometimes) that is lacking.

freeflir29 0 #8 March 5, 2004 You SUCK.............I was SO mad that I didn't have a still cam to get the BEAUTIFUL shot of KansasSkydiver and Superwoman sitflying next to each other. That would have been one for the wall. Now I want HIGH SPEED stuff. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
