ok. so ive been spending a lot of money for film and getting it developed (about 20-30 dollars a week) and im sick of getting the film developed and not have any pictures worth keeping in the roll so im just wondering if it would be worth getting a digital camera.

and what are good things about digitals besides no processing and you can see the image you just took.

i would prolly get a nikon d70

I was long a fan of film cameras and held off before getting a digital camera, but I haven't looked back since. I can take so many more pictures with a digital, and just trash the ones I don't like. Digital cameras are really liberating in that respect. The nicer ones are at least as good as a film camera, too. Plus, I can use the pictures on my computer without having to scan them. And the biggest selling point was, as you noted, the fact that I don't have to pay to have pictures processed anymore, and I don't have to buy film.

Film really has better quality, though with digital you'd be saving money on film. I mean unless you're making a poster for National Geographic, you'd be fine. Advantages are deleting the pictures you don't like whereas with film you just wasted your film. Another thing is you can take more shots on a single memory stick rather than about 25 on regular film.

I love film
but also
when getting a digital camera your saving a ton
Although a digital camera your not wasting any money really
unless you need a bigger memeory card.
You can also delete them if you don't like them

do some research on the camera your thinking about getting
and compare them with other cameras you may like.
