If you had $1000+ would you buy a digital or film SLR?
Is there any reason(s) to get a film SLR besides price anymore?
Will 35mm SLRs continue to be made, or are they going the way
of 126, 110, APS, etc.

I would love to start buying items from North American and other sellers
on eBay, but I have a bit of a problem when it comes to finding ways of
sending the sellers money.
We don't have PayPal in SA. We don't have Western Union either. I have

I own an Olympus Camera Stylus Epic Zoom 170, 35mm
I put in the battery but have not yet loaded film. Am just practicing

I have two Soviet rangefinder cameras, a Fed 1 and a Zorki 4. Can anyone
enlighten me as to which of the 90 and 135mm lenses in 39mm screw from Leitz
will couple with the rangefinder.
Both cameras have had the mount re-shimmed to give the correct 28.8mm

I bought an Olympus XA a while back and have been using it fairly regularly for
several months as a pocketable carry-everywhere camera.  It has two peculiarities
(errr, problems), one of which I noticed fairly soon, the other of which is rather
more subtle.  I'm wondering if these ...

Today the big brown truck brought me a
Canon 1.4x II Teleconverter.  I was eager
to see how it would function with the 20D
and the 400 f/5.6L.

I apologize for these briefer than usual comments.  I'll get back to
full format when the SI mandates get me a little more excited.
Having said that nastiness, there are a few honorable mentions in the
current raft.  No comments respecting adhesion to the mandate, rather

I just picked my daughter up from college and my trusty old FM2 body she's
been using is missing 2 of the 4 lens mount screws.  The camera works fine
otherwise, so I hesitate to send it in for a full-blown clean, lube adjust.
Any thoughts?

posting one's pictures, I can view in 'small' and 'medium' modes, but I
cannot seem to view in 'original' mode.
I have tried three browsers, i.e. Opera (my default), FireFox, and,

1) Would a digital body with no-name lenses have equal picture quality to a
film camera with better glass?
Since the light has to go through the glass first I would think the better
glass would be the obvious answer except that the images I get with my Canon

The BBC's 'Click Online' computery programme last night showed the
results of a 144 megapixel camera. One of the images was a normal wide
shot of a room. They zoomed right in until the picture was filled by
the wood grain on the mantelpiece, absolutely razor sharp as if it were
