Digital vs. Analog Cameras
OK, right now I have a very nice 35mm analog camera with a 105mm zoom which my dad gave me for Christmas several years ago (thanks Dad!) It takes perfectly good pictures and I'm not dissatisfied with it in any way. However, The more pictures I've taken the more I've thought about taking my hobby to the next level with a professional style SLR camera. Not having a lot of familiarity with SLR's to begin with I'd like to know (from those who know) if I should get a digital SLR or an analog one. Obviously there is the matter of developing costs for analog which in the long run really adds up. On the other hand I've heard that many skilled photographers like the analog because it's "real" photography. In other words, some purists resist the digitizing of this media. Of course, they may also have access to a darkroom which I do not. I be very appreciative to anyone who can offer their thoughts on this matter.
