Speaking of curmudgeons, I don't think I could ever have a digital as my with-me-all-the-time camera. It just doesn't have the gravitas of film; I wouldn't feel like I'm getting a real picture, just a (admittedly incredible) simulation. As I think you said once, that piece of film was THERE, on the scene, and that is special to me. I used my digital ELPH a lot after I first bought it, but now I hardly ever touch it, or look at the stuff I took with it. It seems a lot of bother to have to boot up a computer to view images; even if I haven't been able to make prints, I can get enjoyment looking at the proof sheets or flipping through slide sleeves.
