[Rhodes22-list] First Rain Storm - slides vs digital camera

[David Walker]

Wally,

I spent a number of years convincing myself that scaning slides was better
than direct digital.  That changed about a year ago when I worked along side
another pro documenting our son's championship soccer season.  I shot film
and scanned, he shot a Nikon D1.  His stuff blew mine out of the water (and
the D1 is a generation behind, 2.2 MP camera).

I finally bought a Nikon D100 about 6 months ago.  I shave shot very little
film since.  The D100 is a 6 MP camera and produces phenomenal images.

The way I look at it is that the 35mm slide itself may have inherently
higher resolution, but getting that resolution into some useful form (a
print or a digital file) requires additional resolution degrading steps.  A
camera direct digital file is already digital and is ready for whatever.
