I'm a amateur photographer but love to take pictures. I DID have a 35mm, pretty nice quality, but it's been far surpassed by the digitals now!! This is what I like about digital cameras (and the three I've owned are in the $200-$300 range, but they also take videos).

What I like: you see the pictures instantly, so you know if you need to retake it or not; film 'price' is not a problem -- you can take 25 shots of that 'perfect' sunset to get just the right one; you can delete the over-exposed/under-exposed/imperfect pictures instantly; you can save them on CD/your computer; you can choose whether to print out your pics or just keep them on CD's.

Bonus: if you get a digital with video capabilities you can get pretty decent videos too. Without buying a separate videocam.

What I learned: it's easier and nearly the same price to send you digital pics to Walmart/Walgreens/Sams Club, etc. for them to print out as do it yourself. The color always seems to come out better & at $.14/pic it's really a bargain.

I LIKE digital! And you can find good ones in nearly every price range.
