Any reason you're not going for the Digital Rebel instead of the Ti?
Those 10 rolls of film per weekend are going to end up costing WAY more
than the difference in price between the two.

    Probably an informed consumer who knows that digital is stil inferior to
film in virtually every way.

Without getting into a format war, a critical consumer would take a look
at your sig and know you're not an impartial source.

    About as impartial as I can be considering I own both film and a 6MP
digital camera. I work for a company that has several 8MP cameras. None
compare to my 30 year old FTn and I won't even bother to list the rest of
the cameras I own.
