I went to see my Dad today

[MarkydeSad]

He's 71 and a veteran 35mm SLR man

He used to develop his own films and slides in his spare bedroom/darkroom

He hasn't yet made the switch to DSLRs, using as he does a Fujifilm bridge camera. But having 'played with' my Sony a200, I think he may become a convert

So what's my point? It's this: Getting great pics has never been easier. Multiple ISO choices, no film wasteage, immediate results, auto setting for muppets like me, flash which lasts more than one shot, etc. etc.

We don't know how lucky we are!

eventually i reckon film cameras may become a mere novelty item or "historic cameras"
maybe not the near future. maybe when we have flying cars or the 2012 olympics stadium has been finished.
but people like it so it will stick around

I've just gone from digital to film. It's pretty exciting and means I don't waste time taking shots without thinking.
