Currently I am a Film SLR user and is still confuse of whether should I invest and move to DSLR. I am using a F4 and F801s and is thinking of D70s. Could anyone care to advise. Thanks.

i would say it depends on what kind of film you shoot, negs or slides?WKK said:I actually started out with DSLR, but after using FM2, I realised the beauty of Film Camera.... I got really good photo and the color turn out better than Digital.

I came from over a decade of films use and my Film camera is sitting in my dry cabi.
Nothing beats the instant gratification of the preview
Just need to think different when using digital as it is a totally different medium
WKK said:My 20 cents - keep your film camera ... buy a middle range DSLR to try out. Not happy, sell it away later... but I think unlikely as you will grow to like DSLR as well...
ortega said:if you are shooting negs then of course it is easier
you just need to go to an experienced D&P shop to have your shots printed.
They will do all the post processing and tune your shot to get a good print.
try slides and you will be more impressed with the pictures.
down side of digital is the crop factor on my 17mm
I am happy with the crop factor on my teles and macro lenses.
