Which is a better first camera: digital or film? It seems to me that a digital camera is by far the better choice for a "first" camera. Two reasons: 1) Digicams provide instant feedback, essential for learning anything. Dial in 6 different apertures and see how each affects your image -- right NOW. Likewise shutter speeds, focal lengths, flash settings, color balance. Isn't this exactly what you're supposed to learn? You don't get your results two weeks later after you've competely forgotten what you did. 2) With a digicam, you can shoot everything in sight without that "it's gonna cost me a buck to see the results -- do I really wanna shoot this?" feeling. Blast away, sort it out later. Just like the pros do. Sure, you won't want to blow up the average consumer digicam's output to wall-size. But don't the digicam's teaching capabilities far outweigh its (temporary) resolution limits? Jaymes
