different ppl have diiferent views abt it, my wife dislike it as it's not a digital camera.
but its okie, if the digital P&S is high on your list, please go ahead to get it. you know what is important factor for yourself.
Ben1223 said:I still love film. For serious and important events I'd still use my SLR loaded with either Reala, Portra or Kodak b&w. No doubt T3 is one fine machine. People who are not photography enthusiasts would probably knock your head for getting an $800 P&S in this digital age.
But for everyday shots of doorknobs, lamposts, a bald guys head, etc I think a P&S digital would be more economical for me. Image quality not so important for such mundane things.
Thanks for sharing your experiences. Sorry for turning this into a discussion about equipment and the merits of film over digital.
To go back to the main topic, yes, I do go back and see old photos. I keep a lot of them. I have an album filled with family related stuff and I have an album for other subjects (landscapes, flowers, etc). Since I started becoming serious about taking photos I only place good ones in my albums. Unflattering shots of family members I keep in a box. But for moments where there are no better photos I still put in the album even though they're out of focus and such.
Below is one of the early shots I took of my family with an SLR at an event in Suntec.

Maybe I'll save the $800 up. :sweat:
pai said:yah, i also look at my old pictures now and then. surprising how different it feels even less than one year on... shots that i was happy with when i took them, now i look and i see: blur cos not focused properly or camera shake, colour balance off, horribly noisy, and too much post-processing. :cry:
on the bright side, even if they are badly taken in so many ways, they still bring back many happy (and sad) memories, and in the end, that's what's more valuable to me. i'd rather have all of these ugly shots of family and friends and places i've visited, than one perfect shot of an amazing landscape or model.
and actually, feeling so frustrated about old pictures is a good thing right? cos it shows that we've "upgraded" the most important camera of all, our own eyes. i can only hope that in another year's time i can look at the pictures i'm taking now, and see many many ways they can be improved.
an early happy new year to all!
