Hey guys, just wanted to let you know of an update.

My dad had an old Canon AE-1 lying around, and he has a longer lens as well, so I bought some film (old fashioned I know)... and have been playing around. The only thing I notice quickly is how great a digital would be for me, as a beginner- no changing the film, ability to take unlimmited pics, ability to take more than one pic per second, etc. But for those in the know about cameras... what is the advantage to film over digital? I assume there is at least one thing better about film.

Thanks in advance!

I am still hopinh to buy a new camera, but this will suffice me until I get a couple more paychecks!
