Yup - I agree, I'm going to be analog for a while yet. Although I'll be in
Photokina on Thursday and expect to be drooling over the Oly D-SLR...

They do, but according to the owners of the shops here in Ottawa Canada,
hardly anyone uses them. On our recent trip to PEI this summer (my wife is
from there) I saw no digital cameras. All film. Get this, I even saw an
OM1n and OM2n!!!!! Film cameras' upfront cost is cheap relative to
digital, and this is what most people base their decisions on I think.

Bill says: Digital will never replace film until the AVERAGE person can
get photo qual prints without having a set-up at home.
Don't know about where you live, but round here the 1-hr shops increasingly
accept compact flash, smart-media, cdrom, etc etc and print 'conventional'
6x4 output.
Having said that, I'm sticking to Velvia. (My scanner is just to play with
'cos I can't get prints (even off my Espon 870) that come anywhere close to
the impact of slides on a big screen...)
best regds,
Jez
