Laugh at Film SLR cameras?
Getting the right exposure by manipulating shutter speeds, aperture
number, and judging ambient lighting on a film camera takes years
of experience. And many holes in my pockets...
Digital is easy; just point, look at how the image is rendered in
realtime, adjust if too dark or bright, then shoot. In a film SLR,
you need to know right off your finger tips, by looking the scene
what values to dial up on your film camera!
This method, exercises one's brain and eye in photography. Taking
shots which you know you can "painlessly" reshoot again, takes the
challenge out of it all.
However, it is convenient if you are in a hurry and your work
requires quick pics and not quality pics. No matter how high end a
digital cam, you will see pixels when enlarged.
But not on slides and negs..
