Film or Digital Camera?

I have a mediocre digital camera I use for work and taking pics of old records and I have a good 35mm SLR camera I seem to use less and less. (Pentax PZ20).
I like the photo quality of the 35mm much better than my digital camera and the prints are always better than what I can print from my digital.
Anyone else have and use both and why do you use a particular camera and for which purpose? I'm using the 35mm for "archival" photos or ones I think I want to keep a long time, but rarely use it otherwise.

Film is dead for the most part. Get a better digital cam and you'll likely be pleased. Check Consumer Reports for some good choices.

I have a digital camera and love it. It's a low end ($75), but i can look at my pics immediately. Fuck development.

Mrs. O'Dizzle swears by her Nikon D40 DSLR. All digital, relatively cheap (around $500), but the pic quality and the speed you can take consecutive pics at really make it worthwhile. Digital totally pwns film, in both cost and quality.

I'm no pro, but I have a pretty good 35 mm SLR that was around $800 when I bought it. I accumulated a few lenses over the years too. I'm somewhat embarassed to say that I haven't taken it out of the bag in 2 years.
I have a 7 MP camera that's smaller, faster and exponentially easier to use. Hell, one of my cell phones has a 3.2 MP camera which is good enough for most of my uses.

Around spring of last year I knew almost nothing about photography other than "point and shoot". At the time I had a fixed-lens Olympus 3.1MP camera. It was OK, but I soon realized its limitations in using the flash and the slower focusing and picture-taking response.
I decided to learn a bit more about taking pictures and bought the
Cannon Rebel XTI for around $800 (back then).
I am very happy with my purchase and using an SLR was so much better than my older camera. The shutter responds instantly and you have the freedom to do exactly what you want once you LEARN how to take pictures. And while you are learning, the automatic settings are pretty good provided you have proper lighting.
They recently came out with a newer model, the XSI, so the XTI is even cheaper now.
These were taken with mostly automatic settings and with the "cheap" 18-55mm lens that came with the camera (left the EXIF in on a few):

Thanks Tritone. I learned how to take photographs with a Pentax K1000. All manual except for a light meter/needle. I have some background in that area. I guess I'm like the guy loopnode mentioned- If I can't smell the film when opening the canister it doesn't seem serious. Painters had the same reaction to the first photographers I am sure.

Here's the thing- Panzer never said he took those photos only what resolution camera they were taken with.

I take mostly landscape and/or wildlife photos. I had a nice basic Olympus 35mm camera that crapped out on me at Mt. Rushmore about four years ago. Now I mainly use a JVC digital camcorder that has still camera capabilities. I still have a cheap Fuji 35mm that I bought at a K-Mart in Spearfish, SD as an emergency replacement for my Olympus that I use mainly for instances where I have just a couple of seconds of reaction time to get a shot of wildlife in motion. My camcorder has a 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, countdown while it is focusing before I can record with it. Spooked animals can travel pretty far in five seconds. Bornyo, my deer pictures in my ADT avatars were taken with my JVC.

Those are my photos and I took them with my 6-megapixel Canon EOS 10D. I used pretty affordable lenses that costs around $300 each (28-135mm IS USM and 50mm f1.4 USM). I did a lot of retouching. One of those photos had 30+ layers and I took me like 8 hours to finish it.

Oh, please. You don't need some pricey camera bag. Alex, what does a speedlight flash do?

Yeah you do, not only is this a quality and comfortable bag, but it also looks good. You can fling the flash up and left and right with Speedlite.

Speedlite is just a brand name. Its a regular flash that mounts into the camera's attachment.
I have a 580-EX II.

Bornyo, this is what you need:
Canon EOS Rebel XSi/450D Kit $900
Canon 430EX Speedlite Flash $255
Vertical Battery Grip $130
Flash Add-On Thingy $30
Extra Batteries $20
B+W UV Filter $35
OpTech ProLoop Neck Strap $25
Two 4GB SDHC Card $50
Gepe CardSafe Extreme memory card wallet $15
Lowepro Pro Mag 2 AW Camera Bag (Black) $110
All totals to $1540 so with taxes it will be around $1700
I read that list and honestly, I'd like to have that rig. But as I told Alex, I can buy two decent offshore fishing rigs for that money. I could even install radar on my boat.
I like to use photography to record the things I enjoy rather than enjoying photography as an end unto itself.
It would be overkill for me to outfit myself with that equipment and I'd feel pretentious hauling it out to photograph my son holding up a fish in the cockpit of my boat.
This thread has convinced me to forget about the 35mm though, and to look for a decent digital SLR.

I inherited my dad's pentax spotsmatic - one of the first to use TTL metering. A beautiful thing.
