...Buy the 35mm camera--(A)There are more interchangeable
lenses for 35mm cameras than for 'digital'cameras
costing only $1K,and the number of silver "grains" in
traditional film still OUTNUMBERS by 3X
the number of 'pixels' in the $1K digital camera,
and (B) You can take the 35mm negs or slides and send them
to a lab which
will SCAN them onto a Kodak Photo CD--Dale Labs
in Florida does this...it is DIFFERENT from Kodak's PictureDisc
...the Photo CD has FIVE levels of resolution, and you
can also store 'medium-format'images up to 4X5 on it!!---
there ARE 4-megapixel digital cameras, but they don't
cost $1K, more like $3K...
