I intended to keep using my Canon film cameras (EOS Elan IIe & 7e) when I first got into digital, but they quickly became sidelined even with point and shoot digitals. I was shooting more and enjoying the photos more because there wasn't any cost to them, taking many more than I would have with film. When I got my first Digital Rebel I hadn't used either film camera for about a year and a half. Then on to a Rebel XT, and I finally bit the bullet and sold my film cameras. Of course my lenses still fit the digital cameras, so I wasn't totally rid of the equipment. I've had several articles published with my digital images, and I'm quite pleased with the cameras - I also have two small point and shoot digitals that I carry around with me most of the time. When I'd shoot model photos with my film cameras, one roll of 36 exposure slide film (Ektachrome 64T) would cost me about $27.00 including processing. No such costs with digital, and instant feedback! I also share quite a bit of my social photos - at train shows, family events, etc., through online albums. With family spread around the country quite a bit, this is a great way to share photos. I know I certainly wouldn't send them all color prints! Bob Boudreau
