Digital vs. 35 mm...

[Karen]

It depends both on the digital camera in question and the abilities of the photographer. A low-quality digital camera will never take fabulous pictures, but a bad photographer can make any camera - film or digital - take lousy pictures. Kay's pictures are always completely gorgeous, for example, and she uses a digital camera!

I have not used a 35 mm in years - I adore having a digital camera because I am not a patient photographer, so I can take a lot of images without having to pay for a lot of film.

A good camera is a prime priority! Since I have that new camera, I can take much sharper pics!

Ah, you took the words right out of my mouth! My thoughts, exactly! This also can be applied to the concept that more megapixels don't necessarily mean better shots. An amateur can have a 12MP camera and take lousy shots whereas a professional can have a 3MP camera and take amazing shots. Its all in technique, knowing your camera (whether it be film or digital), and ability!

W W! If those pics of yours are "de-tuned" I'd love to see the REAL quality ones! But I can see why you "degrade" them so folks won't steal them. That stinks that people take others' work as their own.

With any camera, you need good light and know how to work it. My husband has a very expensive digital, but I make crappy pics with it because it is so complicated. My camera is a mid-priced digital- and occassionally I get a very crisp picture from it- when I utilize morning light through the window, etc.
