I shoot basketball games (high school/college), and the light is always a lot worse than it appears- I have always shot black and white and pushed my film to around e.i. 1000 to get 1/125th sec. at f/2. But I recently started playing around with a high end digital camera (which shall go nameless)... for the first time, I shot color at a game, by tuining up the speed to 1600, and the quality was fine! And being albe to review shots at time outs and discarding the bad ones as you go is great! The real problem would be, if you NEED slides, you would have to get a digital projector, and those are still very pricey. But it is SO great being able to change the film speed at will, no loading/unloading/carrying five films/having partially-shot rolls. For some things, digital is great.
