I agree. I have a manual SLR (Minolta X-7A), a point and click digital (Nikon Coolpix 4600 4.1 MP) and a digital SLR (Olympus E-500 8.0 MP) and my Minolta is the best for the perfect shot. They have all given me great pics, but digital does that because you can take pics in volume. However, when film is precious and one has to think and compose carefully, the overall quality of each individual shot is better with a film camera.

Nikon D80 with both a 28-70mm lens and a 70-300mm lens. I also own a Canon Powershot S2 point-and-shoot. And I concur with Urbanflyer, it's the best models for point-and-shoot period. Great platform.

That looks like it, all right!

How far from Chicago is that? That's some serious sprawl...

You should be anxious. That's what I shoot with and I have to say, it's the best thing since sliced bread. I love it. Congratulations!!!!!

Canon 350D (Digital Rebel XT) with the kit 18-55 lens right now - but I'm flying out to Hong Kong in a couple of days and looking to pick up a Sigma 70-300 and possibly the Canon 50mm f/1.8

I highly recommend the 50/1.8. What's not to like about an $80 lens that can do this?

Just got a Nikon D50 with the 18-55 kit lens. It's really nice but quite different from the kodak p&s that I learned on. I even braved the cold last week to try it out--just starting to get the hang of it--my first thread using the nikon is in my sig.

Nikon Coolpix 5400...i've had it for the past two years. nice manual controls make it more than a point and shoot...PROSUMER BABY!!!

i also have a Coolpix 2500 which i use for concerts/bars or carrying around in my pocket when i don't want to lug the 5400 around.

then there's the Holga, which uses 120 film and is for fun/artsy stuff, or places where i don't want to really take a digicam (like a sandy beach or wet environment.)

some pics:







plus an old Kodak box camera that takes 620 film that i rarely use.
