The two rolls I exposed are still waiting to be developed. But the 65 shots I took with my Minolta Dimage 7 (a 5 mp digicam) came out great, all of them perfectly exposed. At best, the exposures on film may equal the quality of the digital images (except for the high grain of the 800 film), but I won't know that until the negatives are back from the lab and scanned.
