Wow great answer, you covered it very very well, thank you for that. I do worry about film and E6 going out in the future, but then i guess you go digital at that point in time. I agree you dont shoot shots like crazy with 8 dollar a roll film, you plan and select your shots very careful. I think the digital stuff you shoot like crazy cause you can, i think digital would be cheaper in the long run, but. I think for now i will keep my bronica and shoot velvia 50 and Tmax 100 and Tri x and enjoy getting back into it, im very very rusty from alot of years away. I moved from California to Paris France 2 months ago, so things here are more pricey, film, devolping, etc, i may send them to a lab in California that i have read rave reviews about and spoke on the phone with them.. This is a very good forum and full of great information, i just cant wait to get my camera from usa sent here and get started. I think i got a fair deal on my camera, and i know as time passes and film becomes less and less available, my cameras value will continue to decline, but thats ok, i didnt dump thousands into it.

Yes i maybe all over the place, thats because im just getting back into photography after 15 years and its changed alot. All i know is film, yes i shot your point a shoot cheap digital for fun. My goal is landscape, , portraits. I think now after reading , i feel a good digital is better in the long run for saving cash, and alot less hasstle to load film, process it, scan it. I think i jumped to quickly back and just bought a film camera cause its all i know, i didnt give digital a good look. I think all the film processing, buying film can add up to alot of cash over time.
I know what E6 is, it isnt just for projection, you can have prints made to off them, yes and c41 to, im fully aware of all the film aspects. It was the digital i was lost, but now i am seeing. I have never shot a good digital camera or seen the photos from a good 35mm digital in person,.
I think i may shoot a few shots with my bronica when it arrives and see how it goes, but i think its a mistake i now wish i didnt make, im not talking about images, or it cant make good photos, i know it can, im talking time, money, film, scanning, etc.

Thanks for all your replies. I understand now the scanning thing and digital. I dont have to scan my negs or E6 unless i want to put them on a disc and have digital files to share.
Can somebody give me a ball park cost on a full frame 35mm dslr , of course the low end price., I would like to see how much it would cost me out the gate to do this, i may sell the bronica i bought if the full frame is not outrageous. Maybe you give me a few models to see.
Where do i get those sample images from Pentax, Sony, Cannon.

How funny your from Paris, i just moved to Paris 2 months ago. Can you recommend me a good 35mm digital camera and a nice set of glass, but on the low end of cost, i dont have alot of cash, i will sell my bronica if i have to and can save money on all the film purchasing and devolping.

Thanks for your reply, so if i enter the digital world and get a 35mm digital camera , i think a full frame is kina a must for good quality prints, the sensor is full frame and therefor you get better quality. I think its sounds like in the long run money Wise a digital camera is a better buy, but more money up front.

Yes i would like to share them online. Is scanning the négatives and then printing a better image, or just printing off the negs and slides, which will produce the best quality print, thanks for all the replies.

Ok im trying to understand the whole scanning thing, why , or do i need my négatives scanned, and my transparency scanned, cant they just print right off my négatives like the old days and off the slide film to, what is the benifit of having them scanned. Scanned négatives , slides film, vs non scanned and just printed, im kinda confused on this issue, what are the pros and cons.

I want to shoot landscape, some portraits, i used to love Tri x, fuji velvia, Tmax 100, etc, i see alot of them are still available. I plan 20 x 24 maybe as big as i would go probally. Im a stickler for quality, i want real sharp images and beautiful prints. Im wondering if its Worth even having a film camera, maybe a 35mm digital camera 24mp or so can do what i want, and not have to hasstle devoloping film.
I love to do bw and color, so im kinda lost with all this scanning stuff, i used to just print my bw stuff in the darkroom and have my velvia done in cibachromes, but thats stuff is long gone.

I read that report your posted, i also reports saying that the first report is a poor test and is only done on a 13x19 picture. I saw other test done between film and digital and the film look much much better, so very confliclting reports.

I have a question for all you pros or knowlegable people on this forum. I have been out of photography for long time and i used to love to shoot 6x7 format and its what im going to do again. My question is as far as making really nice prints, does todays 35mm digatal compare in quality to a 6x7 film print in say 16x20 and up. I have done some reading and get alot mixed things as usaual, so would appriciate some input.
