Cost and all that sort of thing aside, there is some undefinable "something" about shooting with film and with the build and handling of the "old" cameras. I now find my K100D unspeakably ugly and more than ever despise that godawful butt-ugly built-in flash protrusion. And I suppose part of it comes from the fact that it will always be a 6mp camera where I typically get close to 15mp from my 35mm cameras and, as I type this, am scanning in some nice 20mp images from a 1953 Mamiya medium format folder.

I've sort of held off on jonesing for a K10D, K200D, or K20D (which is totally out of my reach) mostly on the grounds that whatever is wrong with my photography isn't going to be fixed by a few more megapixels. But still, they sure are nice coming off of film. And all my many film cameras are 15mp and up, thanks to having an up-to-date good quality scanner.

Mike, This was a very enjoyable post..Yes, I have found myself atleast this past week using it more than digital. In fact, I did shoot a little digital yesterday and it took me a while to notice that I was no longer chimping...As for the cost, Like I told my wife, if I get one good picture out of the roll of film, then it paid for itself...If I get all junk, then it paid for itself as a lesson learned...Besides I do not shoot weddings or anything other than for myself...
