Nilesh:

It all depends on what your purposes are for your digital camera. If you are looking for the highest quality images, you are still better off to get a good 35mm SLR and film scanner. Digital cameras except for very expensive modified SLR models still don't provide the apporpriate level of creative flexibility. However, there are plenty of excellent digital camera models out there that provide very good images if you are not as concerned about flexibililty and lens choice in your photography.

Nilesh,

Digital Cameras are now able to compete in the real world. They are more than adequate for most digital applications such as viewing on the web or computer screen. Printed images require better images and the top amateur digital cameras do a very good job when coupled with a new printer.

When in a few minutes you can shoot a picture, upload into a pc, pull into a imaging program for final touches and print a 11 x 14 print that will wow most people. That is exciting!

I hear so many people argue about the quality, blah blah and must compare them to those in college days that would not be caught dead with any less than an 8x10 view camera! Only contact prints allowed. Even today, if you want to put a picture on a billboard you might still want that view camera.

Go for the digital! Buy the best you can afford and learn how to use the imaging programs. You will have a ball! Sure, tomorrow they will be out of date... but that is the way of technology.

ps Want to buy a 8mm movie camera? Best in its time!
