Ok major rant ahead, please put your seatbacks in the upright position and tighten your seatbelts:
WHY I HATE DIGITAL CAMERAS
So Ilford is going tits up... I read the article and I'm not sure if the film division of Ilford is going to continue to make film after it is sold. Probably not... The "why" in the article is because of digital camera sales. It will become harder and harder for those of us that use film to continue our love of photography. I hear people say that there will always be film despite digital, I disagree, when is the last time you bought a brand new cassette tape? I don't want to use digital, to be forced to.
And the really funny part? I just received my order of Ilford film to try out, so now its guaranteed that film will be killed by digital.
I want to cry

I'v been tempted to go all old school myself. to get a desent digital you have to spend waaaay to much, but you do havr your results right there and its so much easier(quicker?) to share. As with real film you have to develope yourself. or find someone you trust. Both of which cost money. So far i'm at the point of thinking all the money i save on buying a cheaper reg camera would not make up for the fact i'd have to pay in some fasion to see my results. Also i'm still learning the art so digital i much more economical.

stupid digital! i hate you!! you could become a recluse artist using only analog. there's tons of cd's that were recorded analog. so, no matter what, digital will never completely rule out analog. ever.
