There's no question that the technical results of a top digital camera blow film out of the f'in water. But that's what makes me nostalgic for the film days, in some ways. Getting a really fantastic film picture used to be a special occasion. I'd get an average of one a roll and that cost money. Now I get literally hundreds of amazing images a year and have to print them into big hardcover books to store them. So the special experience of finding that one amazing slide in your box is gone. Same thing with CDs and records. The vinyls are dominated on every parameter and that's what their charm is, like an old, lame, dog.
