I agree with everyhting Shrek said and have switched for most of the same reason. I will agree that Digital hasn't matched the quality that slide film produces but I don't see even that being king

for much longer with the rapid advancement of digital technology.

My main reason for switching from film to didgital was cost. I take alot of photos and when the developers got finished with me my pockets and bank account were beggin me to stop.

I averaged about $120.00 a week in development costs not including the cost of the film too. $120.00 x 4 = $480.00 a month x12= $5760.00 per year.

Dang! That's almost a Canon 1DS. 

Not everyone shoots this many photos so cost alone wont warrant the switch but Shrek pretty much hit the nail on the head with what he posted.

With film I felt I had to make every shot a keeper but with digital I now feel I have the freedom to experiment without going broke doing so.

I will hate to see film go because it still produces awesome photos but like all things....GOOD THINGS COME TO AN END!

Look at 8 TRACKS.....
