The thrill was great, but you never knew if you set the focus and light settings correctly. With digital, you can see it instantly and if you don't like it, simply delete. Take your digital medium and upload it Facebook, Photobucket, etc., within minutes.
I paid over $400 for my first Kodak digital camera over ten years ago. It was one megapixel and I thought it was the "s$#t". Now I have my Sony T90 (thanks John-BoilerUpXFire for introducing me to this wonderful device) and it takes very high res 12 megapixel photos in wide screen and HD video.
My wife has a digital SLR Nikon camera where you can still manually set the focus and light settings and she even has two lenses with different zoom factors. I'm glad I got that for free (I stayed in enough Marriotts one year to pay for a small house in Honduras) and she loves the thing.
