everything is an investment. just depends if you need as bad as i do. why waste 6k if you don't make moeny with it? ya know?

basically, canon rocks!
nikon is having a hard time catching up. even the little canon's are great.

sorry lilbabyarm but wtf is there to discuss about your newly acquired camera? should we all stand up and applaude as well? and since you "desire" this discussion where the hell are you?

standing ovation for rabattski, discuss.
(and i hate digital cameras because it means the end of film, now photos are printed with digital labs and we see pixels instead of film grain and that sucks, rant rant rant)

don't worry the one with the name i cannot pronounce. analog cameras and film will always be there. just as record players never went away so will analog cameras. although some film (illford if i'm not mistaken) doesn't excist anymore.
anyways to tell you the truth, analog is more accurate and it contains more information than digital although most people believe otherwise.

yep, same as music, nothing beats the vinyl records ... it will take ages before digital cameras reach the resolution of analog films ... digital = discrete (a lot of small pieces) whereas analog = continuous (infinite quantity of infinitely small pieces), and maths is the truth, so yes analog beats digital. should better stop here 'cause i become messy!

nonono. digital will never be analog. it can get really really really close to analog but it will never be the same as analog.
see, analog is infinite, digital is limited. with any digital calculation you have to round it somewhere, like 2 numbers behind the comma or 1 million numbers behind the comma.
take for instance a thermometer. digital and analog. the digital one says a certain rounded temperature based on the programmed calculation. the analog one is not rounded. the more you look closely at the analog thermometer at where the line is, the more accurate the reading gets and this "zooming" is infinite. you can keep on dividing the measuring units till kingdom come.
but i do agree if you would have a digital thermometer which rounds a million numbers behind the comma it doesn't really matter (besides it's useless anyways). but it's the same with any digital machine. to a certain point it well get so close to analog that for untrained eyes, ears etc. it's hard to see or hear a difference. but theoretically it'll never be the same as analog.

also, a couple of my friends, professional photographers are totally going back to analog. they still use digital slr but less and less. but hey that's on a professional level. for candid stuff a digital camera rocks anyways. and it's way cheaper.
