While this is more a camera issue, the questions has been asked, so... Digital cameras are in their infancy in terms of quality and ergonomics. 35mm film in its many forms still offers far greater resolution, color density, and versatility. If a digital record is desirable you can now do it yourself at home with a desktop film scanner (not the same thing as a print scanner). The HP Photo Scanner, as an example, produces 2400 dpi by 30 bit color density -- a very high quality scan, and is the size of a thick book. Alternatively Kodak will produce its industry standard Kodak Photo CD along with processing at a cost of around 41 cents per image retail. The Kodak photo CD is full professional quality from which virtually any size image up to 20X30" can be printed (presuming you shot the original in Kodachrome II 25 in a Leica or the likes. etc. etc.). In a hurry? My local photo shop will process Kodak Elitechrome (Ektachrome) over night *and* provide a scanned CD of the entire roll up to 2400 dpi for $10.95, and they do it overnight.
