AboutMartin Seymour Expertise I have worked in most aspects of still photography, using film and the wet process for 50 years. Employing all film formats 35mm to 8x10 sizes, I went over partly to digital cameras in 02, also PC editing of pictures.
I still find film work more demanding , as you have to get it right at the start with no auto settings on the camera to cover my mistakes.
Pictorial work is my personal interest.
Its is not a good idea for me to suggest a particular make of equipment just a type, and its uses.

HI ALEX
Well most you should be able to work out for your self.
Sharpness in digital results is very good if your camera can capture results of
6 million pixel at least.
FILM
You will be familiar with the film process: - Load the camera, set it up expose, wind on, take the next, when the film is finished unload, process the film, file the negs, mount the prints. As an ammeter, all this time you will never be sure what the results will be- good or bad.
With digital most of these steps have been eliminated. I is a far more versatile process. Instead of film you have a card were the image is stored electronically. And can be viewed each time you make an exposure and adjustments made if required though rarely needed, as exposure control is most effective these days.
Images can then printed directly from your PC printer or transferred to your PC for additional manipulation.
What could be simpler?
