(He didn't tell them that the quality could be way better than any digital camera though, not that they would care)

"When did real cameras come out and you didn't have to do that?" Lol.

Adorable *quality

Boosting this quality contribution up in the Hot Listing - declared quality by Krupo.

Hmmm. Debatable. Film is sort of "analog", so a good film picture can be blown up / magnified much more than a digital picture before it would look muddy/pixely. On the other hand, for anyone outside of professional photographers, getting a good digital picture is MUCH easier than getting a good film picture. I remember average-to-cheap film cameras that had to be focused, needed just the right light, no motion in the subject, etc. whereas even cheap digital cameras tend to auto-adjust to that stuff much better.

Good points, but I meant 'automatic' film cameras of today VS 'automatic' digital cameras of today. All other things being equal, film will give better quality than any but the best professional digitals, but even new film cameras are more expensive and bulky for the same features...+ film, + developing, + prints.

Even then. Take a selection of equivalently priced film and digital cameras (adjusted for inflation) and give them to a range of photographers.

I'd bet large amounts of money that aside from the very top tier photographers using top tier SLRs, digital will beat film every day.

I love film, and always did, but even the cameras in high end modern phones will beat the old compact 35mm cameras every time for image quality. This doesn't mean I won't take out my compact 35mm camera (Olympus mju II btw) and use it occasionally, but for a quick snapshot I'll cheerfully use my phone.

Phone cameras are not quite ready to take on 6x6 rollfilm cameras (I love my tlr too ) but digital cameras do exist which can.

A final thought - sometimes the best camera is the one you have with you

Can new people please stop being younger than me.

Only sometimes?

I'd love to know when a camera you don't have on you is better than one you do

Sometimes you only have a short amount of time to grab the shot, so you might as well use whatever camera you have with you, no matter how unsuitable. If you have time to go and get the more suitable camera you didn't bring, then that's the time the one you don't have is better.

If it was me, I'd still take a shot on the unsuitable camera first, just in case
