digital pictures versus film How do pictures from cameras like the Canon Eos d30 [3.1meg]stand up to pictures made from a Canon slr loaded with color negative film? What about the compact 8 megapixel cameras currently on the market?

The D30 is close (a matter for opinions) but the newer versions; D60 or 10D (or Rebel) with 6.3MP do and in my case gave plenty of new spirit in reviving my photography juices. I take thousands of pictures where I used to take just a few. After the initial costs, you only have the cost of time which I can usually find to give to my hobby. As an example; I just took photos of a charity event that lasts 4 week, 2 shows per week. Pictures were taken over a couple of rehearsals and 3 show nights. I ended up with between 1900 and 2000 6.3MP RAW images. I would never/could never have done that with film. Where film still has a slight advantage is in dynamic range; the range between the lightest and darkest points of a photo that the camera can reproduce. 35mm offers a greater dynamic range but besides that 6.3MP rivals 35mm close enough that most people have gone over. The advantages to me far FAR outweigh any disadvantages. You can read an article on the Canon D30 vs. Film here for a more professional opinion: Canon D60 vs. Medium Format: You can read an article on the Canon 1Ds which rivals medium format cameras here:
