I have also read other comparison and that it is very different from the one that give you your conclusion, so it is a matter of subjective opinion.

Please enjoy reading this... using a EOS 1D series. And you can let me know your opinion after reading. Someone with 17yrs in photography....

Of course, if I am selling you a DSLR.... I will make you believe that damn piece of camera is better that a Hasslebank too, even though it is not as many as 39MP!!! lol.... Just kidding.....

But for me, I am still not convinced with DSLR just yet... it is personal... so to each his own. I am sure I am entitled to my own subjective personal opinion here right? :dunno:

why is yours very different from what i shared? (its from a link provided by another CSer)
that link u gave, the author simply talks about how both digital and film are....equal in a sense..he didnt say which was better..

my example given is to show that QUALITY ( the essence of the issue ) of the image using the d30 and the provia was better on the d30...or at least according to the article the guy wrote.

Anyway, me is the traditionist... film for now....

Hmm .. digital is quickly rivalling film ..

Not trying to compare digital here .. I generally still find film captures a scene more life like (personal opinion).

However, in shooting film , we are under the mercy of the people who develop photos .. If it's not the case , I'll never even consider shooting in digital

Right now, I am under the mercy of the people who print digital photos.

With B&W, I do everything myself.

if we have the money, we can develop your own prints what. and print. but i dont think we do.
i second your opinion.

True, but can use slide lor. Best view under lupe and lightbox.
Give you the finest detail and it's original casting. U can tell whether it's the same result if you would to make prints.

Don't have to feel outdated. This is not a fashion show! Its a hobby. The camera is just a tool.
