To OP, thank you for starting this thread.
I can't agree or disagree with you because you have told me about your own perspective.
In my case, digital has re awoken my love of photography. I had a year or two of enthusiasm during my high school years and then camera malfunction and life interrupted my photographic aspirations.
Scroll forward to the digital age and it becomes easier for me to take photo's again. My first was a S*** Cybershot 3mp and I was able to use it on a couple of vacations. Then it got lost and I moved on to a 5mp version. A year or so later I got to go on a vacation where I would be snorkelling every day and the underwater housing for the cybershot was discontinued. Unlucky for Sony, lucky for Pentax, that was when I discovered the Optio wp.
All during my time with digital point and shoots I was becoming more aware that a lot of the time they couldn't take the pictures that I wanted to take. It just so happened that news of the K10d surfaced at the same time that I first started looking for a DSLR. Now I can at least try to take the pictures I want to take, now I'm the weak link but at least I can learn.
@ Mike Riley, I really enjoyed reading you posts.
One other thing to OP, I'm pretty stingy with the amount of shots I take, I try to get them right first (or maybe fourth) time. So in that respect, I would be the same whether the medium was digital or film.
