>> BTW, if you're interested in digital output, but don't want to go fully digital yet, you might want to try Dale Photo Labs in Florida. For a very reasonable fee, they will develop and mount your slides (or print your negatives) and for a small additional fee, burn them onto a CD ROM. You then have prints for the family/club album and digital shots for e-mail/web sites (...and you can "polarize" (darken) the sky with Photoshop! ) >> ************************************************************************* For the price of a decent lens, you can buy an HP PhotoSmart slide and negative scanner, and scan your own pictures. Maximum resolution is 2400 dpi, which is better than any digital camera under $10,000 will give you. One reviewer claims the quality of the PhotoSmart scans is better than he usually gets on a Photo CD. The street price of the PhotoSmart scanner is $399 at all the sources I have checked, but there is a $100 rebate through January if you buy it with the PhotoSmart printer. Mine should be delivered today.

These are all very good suggestions, but the one thing about a digital camera is that there is a certain freedom in making pictures without the cost overhead associated with proccessing. Granted I would go out for 2 or three hours in the streets with 3 or 4 rolls of film, but this is when I dedicated a lot of time with the medium. NOw that I am involved with a lot of other stuff, I make eight exposures a day (a project I am working on) on a digital camera and download them in the evenings and still am saving enough for a drysuit probably in time for the list to decide which one is best (then again, there may be a new fabric by then). I am willing to experiment more with the lower cost overhead and I end up making more exposures- this is an advantage. I am of the tv generation so the immediate gratification is a + as well. the digital camera is not a substitute for a film camera, it has it's own specific applications.

Of course it does not take as good pictures as my nikonis 4 but I am putting most of the paddling pictures on the web to show people any way. I can get 35 pictures on a floppy in normial mode and 15-20 in fine mode. Some of the pictures I took at the Folly Beach Surf rodeo are at http://www.geocities.com/Yosemite/Geyser/6383/Folly.htm all of them are untouched and downloades off the floppies. I find I take a lot more pictures with the digital than I ever did with the 35mm.
