My .02 cents:

 

Digital Pluses:

Snap as much as I want 'til I fill up cards - and then I can delete the ones
that are wrong and shoot some more.

Instant feedback - exposure, expression, composition, etc.

Quick setup - turn on computer

Ability to play with picture to get print the way I want.

Then after playing with picture, can send to Walmart's Fuji Frontier on CD
or print with inkjet.

Fuji Frontier much quicker in getting a dry print exactly how I want it. And
costs less than $3 for 8x10 and besides the drive, only takes a few minutes.

Can print many that are identical (can be a bad thing too, I suppose)

White balance control with every picture without the need to carry filters.

"Film" speed adjustment with every picture.

Carry less equipment when shooting with digital.

 

Digital Minuses:

Smaller camera feel like toy - it's a mental thing. E-20 feels good though,
but not as good at macro as my old Nikon 990, so I bought a Nikon 4300 this
past weekend to carry in my purse. Felt like I was playing a video game when
messing about the menus and such.

Tend to shoot more images (a plus and a minus) - storing images and learning
to delete some.

 

 

Analog Pluses:

*** Black and white looks better when done in darkroom.

Will only print the really good pictures....(could be a minus too 'cause I
find that with nearly 10 rolls of black and white negatives, I might only
have one or two that are somewhat worthy of setting up my darkroom)

 

 

Analog Minuses:

Pain in the butt setting up temporary darkroom. Always having to buy fresh
chemicals and tossing out old chemicals.

Don't print often enough to save money.

Can only print in evenings when I'm already tired.

I have less experience so it takes me longer to make one print...I get
impatient.

Doubt my abilities to judge prints and can't predict dry down.

When processing my own film, I've messed up a couple of times and lost some
frames ... but when boyfriend reformatted hard drive, lost digital images
that weren't save to a CD....(so I guess they cancel each other out)

Don't like that I have to scrub the bathroom before and after I use it as
darkroom. Can stain bathtub.

Inconvient to eat while making prints in chemical darkroom...or get a
telephone call from mom.....etc.

Have to use loop and light box to view negatives and can get difficult
seeing details until you print it.

 

I have to get back to work, but I thought I'd throw in some ideas.

 

Thanks,

Barbara
