35mm Film Cameras are great for taking photos that you really want to keep, imo. You put more thought into each photo because you can't go back and just press delete.

However, I'm definitely a digital camera person. I love being able to snap photos of activities just for fun. It's very convenient to be able to take lots of photos at a time, too.

I use digital only because I'm horribly at developing pictures promptly. I'm equally bad at printing digital photos, but at the very least I can upload them, and my friends can't complain to me anymore.

I could never change the film in a 35mm camera without exposing it and ruining the whole batch, I am eternally grateful to the inventor of the digital camera.

i have one of those cheapie keychain digital cameras that only work in the light of day lol
and then i use the throw aways. HOWEVER I am so getting addicted to my pocket digital camera and reaaaaally want a digital. I just have to find me a suga daddy. LOL

when i used a 35mm camera i never got the picture develop. So i find a digital camera to be very helpful.

Such great comments! I totally agree with you lovealways, whenever I use to use my 35mm cam I would make sure each shot was aligned exactly the way I wanted.. film wasn't cheap!

Digital of course

i'm using a dslr and a digital point and shoot (both canon). I hated that you weren't sure how photos came out on a film camera until after you developed it.

I use to work in the dark room all the time. I miss it sooo much. Sure digital is instant gratification but there is no art behind it. Anybody can get a digital camera and photoshop and make an amazing photo. There is a real art to working in the dark room- messing with contrast, filters, different development techniques, coloring the photos. I love my SLR and still use it. However I only do color film because you just cannot get good black&white photos through a machine- you get more gray then actual contrast

i have a SLR digital camera with digital lense and I think it takes superior photos to a 35mm film camera (they are nikon cameras and take amazing photos). I scrap book them and print them myself and try not to photoshop - I really look at what i'm taking and try to take an amazing photo - not make them

Digitals are so much more convenient. You can delete, edit and print them DIY. The only problem I have with digital photos is that when they're printed, they fade v quickly as compared to the old ones.

Digital, and it's helped me learn to take better pictures. With the ability to preview pictures immediately and for free, I started experimenting with different settings, angles, light sources, and so on. When I had to pay for film and developing, I never dared to try anything new, I'd just use the idiot-proof basic setting to be on the safe side. I'm still not a good photographer, but I've definitely improved.

I'm part of the dying breed - still using a 35mm film camera! It's embarrassing sometimes but you know...

I can't afford to go digital...well it's more that I'm winging it out to buy a digital camera that I really want. In the meantime, my 35mm film camera does a pretty good job.

I think a lot of people forget how automatic 35mm cameras are. Once you take away the automatic shutter speed and lens openings I think a lot of people will realize how much work really goes into taking a great picture.

In all my years of photography with a manual camera I honestly have never had a problem with aligning. Its all about knowing your camera

My ultimate dream is to own all of my own dark room equipment one day. Developing photos in a dark room is definitely a dying art. Kodak stopped producing their black and white paper for dark rooms because of it.......it was GOOOOOODDDDDDDD paper too. Even in high schools now photo classes are teaching kids how to use digital over manual. I think its sad

Digital...just got a new one with 10X optical zoom and I'm completely addicted! LOL

I'm all about the digital camera but I make sure the shot is good before I click! I first learned photography the old way, I had to make a pinhole camera and develop the film myself so I've got much appreciation for film too.

Digital frees me up to take as many pictures as I want without worrying about some of them being bad. I do love photo albums though, so periodically I get them printed via online service. Perhaps my Canon ELPH took better color, but it took duds in the dark.

Oh, but Robyn Tang - if you take pictures like I do, it will come out to less over the course of a year if you convert to digital. You can get a good 1G SD card now for $20 and that will hold close to 500 pictures on a high res setting...

Everytime we take a trip, we take between 100-200 pictures, over the course of last year, I uploaded 3000 pictures to my computer. That's 125 rolls of film @ $4 (conservative)/each is $500 just for the film. And the cost of developing is at least $5/roll - so that's another $625... You can buy a pretty decent digital for $200-250!

I have a film SLR camera that I love, and use to take more "artsy" photos, or when I know I am going to have time to fiddle around with all the various dials. I also have a film camera with a panoramic option - which can be fun.

I have two digital cameras. A small point and shoot variety that I will take to parties or when I don't plan on taking pictures, but may want to. I also have a high-end Sony non-SLR digital camera that is my "main" camera for most situations. I call it a pusedo-SLR because I can do many of the same customizable settings as an SLR, but the lens is fixed - I can't remove it and replace it with something else. It's perfect because I can point and shoot or be artsy all in one camera.

I admit that I am one of the crazy ones who brings all four cameras with me on vacation. I generally don't have all of them on me at any one time, but they are there - just in case.

I'm a big fan of digital photography; it allows you to get the shot just right, and it makes photo processing easier --- you can adjust the contrast, get the effects you want, right there in the camera!

I upgraded to a digital SLR --- the Canon XTi --- and I absolutely love it. The photos have a quality that a point-and-shoot can't get, although it does tend to be a bit bulky and is a bit of the pain to carry EVERYWHERE, which is why I'm also replacing my point-and-shoot.

I use digital 90% of the time, but when it comes down to it, I use my 35mm camera to get really good shots that are crisp and clear. I actually have a little backpack dedicated solely for my three cameras- two digital and one film. I also use film for black and white photos because they just aren't the same on a digital.

i use both actually. i just love my big fancy semiprofessional 35mm camera (canon eos 300). i use it for serious picture taking. i also like digital cameras but more for snapshots. maybe one day i get a professional digital camera, but for now i am very happy with the one i have. i don't own a digital camera, i usually borrow it from my dad or friends.

I definately enjoy using both... I love love love love love my Minolta 35mm and it turns out the most amazing pictures. On the other hand, the exilim is amazing for fun party pictures.

Digital. I like being able to review my pictures and delete if needed. It is such a waste of money to have a regular camera and end up with only 3 good pictures out of 27.

Digital all the way, although I still hang onto my old 35mm for some reason.

my grandfather carries his old school 35mm with him EVERYWHERE we have pictures from absolutly every moment in our lives... stacks of albums, tons of framed photos everywhere, I don't think I'd be very good at printing photos out on my own, but if I have a roll of film I can't wait to get it developed so I can finnally see whats on there... plus I look at the pictures in the albums and frams so much mroe than I look at the ones I have saved on my hardrive... so I'm a 35mm girl

gwenyeth looks like kirsten dunst at that angle.

Using a 35mm film camera instead of a digital camera, is like using a carrier pigeon instead of a fax machine.

I know, I'm so profound I actually scare myself sometimes. hehehe, just kidding.

"Party like a rock star, pound like a porn star, play like an all star!"

I love using my 88 Nikon SLR 35mm. I also use a standard polaroid camera and have two different digital cameras......I'm a mixed media girl!

honestly, when we had just film cameras, I hardly ever took any pictures. When I did remember to take some, I rarely got the film developed. I literally have hardly any pictures of myself past about the 5th grade up to about college. I have about 15 pictures of myself in high school, including the ones I stole from the yearbook staff.

Now I take pictures when I remember. I have a small Canon powershot that's small enough to live in my purse so that I can at least not have to remember to bring a camera. I hardly ever print them, but I share them on flickr, and make digital scrapbooking pages and slideshows and things. I rarely print one. When I do it's to frame for a gift. That's okay, what would I do with prints anyway? I lose prints. I don't lose digitals.

I use my digital camera a lot. However, a few months ago I purchased slide film. Oh yeah, I have a slide projector that I bought at a yard sale. I just love looking at pictures on my screen.

35mm, digital camera, pssh! I still use my disc and 110 cameras. LMAO!!! Just kidding! Not really a picture taker but if I'm going to be somewhere, where I want the moment remembered, I just buy the disposable cameras. One day, I'll buy a digital.

Digital Camera All The Way
