I still have not found anything to beat my Nikon F2s. One of the best built cameras ever and even after 30+ years of use it still works perfectaly. I honestaly would not trade it for anything. I would as i said before love to get a DSLR to use for some things where i need more control than my curren digital camera, my Nikon Coolpix 995. It has a full manula mode, but very limited aperture range, and its a pain to use manualy. I have had a good bit of experence useing DSLRs and must say that they are nice, but I have not found anything that nice yet. the lowend stuff like the rebels and D50s are fine but feel way to plasticy. The mid reange stuff D70, D100, 20D, etc is better but still not that sturdy feeling. The high end stuff is actualy good. But too far out of my budget to even really consider right now. As for picture quality all of the DSLRs I've used produce nice digital photos, but still do not comparie to slides. One place where digital falls flat on its face is long night exposures. I've gotten into these in the past year and have never gotten good resulst form any digital camera. Kodachrom 64 still produces the same great immages it always did. <br />So as said before by other members digital will never compleatly replace film. <br />Again as other member have said useing a digital camrea to check exposure or composition or what not is the greatest thing ever. You can get an instant idea of what your immage will turn out like and play with settings before you ever use any film. For any one who still shoots film i would highly recomend this if they do not already do it. <br />~matt
