QUOTE: Originally posted by smalling_60626 You have already worked out what to do if the answers were YES, NO, NO or NO, NO, YES! Have a great time whatever you use. These things depreciate rapidly so you can probably pick up a really good second hand Canon G2 or similar for not a lot. It does not even have to be an SLR as the viewing screen gives the view through the lens anyway and if you do not have interchangeable lenses you will at least keep your CCD sensor clean. It does not have to be new or the latest model or have quadrillions of pixels. Do you have the space to store decades of prints / albums? If NO, YES, NO - then get a digital camera. Do you already own a computer and printer? 3. Questions in answer to original question: 1. I need to use my 35mm cameras as long as I do slide shows or until an affordable digital projector comes along. I now wonder if I shall ever again carry that big Mamiya around. The prints from the two cameras are practically indistinguishable as regards quality but, of course, the very short lens of the A95 gives a lot more depth of field. I had the 120 film developed and scanned. Using my very modest HP 5150 printer and cheap "compatible cartridges, I have just printed some pictures taken on the same Welsh railway last weekend with my Mamiya 6X6 and the A95. Only 5 megapixels but the quality is astounding. Then this year my wife bought me a Canon A95 compact. I resisted digital, pouring scorn on the results from the early cameras. Those little plastic boxes need less room and the big projected pictures are impressive. For that reason, and because I joined a railway society and now give occasional slide shows, | changed to transparencies. Then the albums just began to occupy too much space.
I used print film for years, trying different brands and speeds in 35mm and 120 formats and putting the results in albums.
