From the posts, I feel a lot more comfortable about abandoning film.
With my D100, if I know I will want to enlarge a picture, or zoom in on an
element of it with Photoshop, I just shoot those at a higher resolution.
Works OK for what I do. I never enlarge beyond 8x10 and everyone seems
to
think my pictures are just fine. Again, I don't use my camera to create
art, but rather to illustrate things and/or events.
I have been scanning my old slides with my Epson 4870 scanner using ICE.
I
don't see an awful lot of difference between the scanned slides and my
digital photos. Ditto with scanned negatives.
One thing I do appreciate with digital is that the processing cost is so
cheap! I used to take a roll of film and then only use a handful of the
shots. Wasteful. I can now review my photos on the computer, Photoshop
what I want to tweak, and have the prints done at the local store. As I
said, I'm an amateur. Twenty nine cents per 4x6 or 2 bucks for an 8x10
is
cheap.
Major complaint about moving up to the D300 is that I can't take my SB80
along. Wish Nikon would make their DSLRs more backwards compatible
towards
flash.
Thanks again for the input.
