throw away your dslrs and p&s...
...that's what i've heard from yesterday's free photography seminar. digital cameras and it's accessories are already obsolete. they're just going with the latest trends according to him. actually, he's a photographer and instructor using film camera.thru his explanations, he pounded each accessories and parts the digital has and less or none for the film. quite biased eh? you can just imagine him carrying all the stuffs with portable hard drive, card reader, different storage devices, batteries, pda and mobile phone. i just smiled.
yes, 100% i agree with the quality of film over digital, the fine details and can be resized without compensating it's quality. digital photography is just a baby compared to film and manufacturers are there to make it improve everyday, just like the evolution of transportation. we're not reinventing the wheel but we're improving it. some people just can't grasp the convenience (and downsides) of technology.
and if you're asking if i enroll the full course, no. i prefer to learn by myself and keep the ball rolling instead rather than debating and discussing who's the best.

What other people think:
DSLRs = Ferarri = Speed
Film = bus = more pixels
Although DSLRs are considered disposables. :o( bhuhuhuhu and D200 is darn expensive!
I will buy the manual cam when I'm as good as you na. In the mean time, I will settle for my reliable point and click digital cam :)
anon: thanks for reminding me. he's comparing it and using ken's tutorial samples. sad part though was he's exaggerating it. ferrari and bus, same types different purpose.
senor: bah, purists. whoever unsinful in this world can throw stones upon me. :)
diong: versatility as it's best. thanks for dropping by.
duke: true but try to assess on which you will spend less in the long run (i.e. more developing films rather than one cf card and the like). photography is one of the expensive hobbies.
I shoot in both medium I still enjoy shooting with Film and do it from time to time since I started with Film specially now I'm into Lomography.
