Pentax K10D

Best Price: $624.00

from www.bhphotovideo.com
i will always prefer to work with film, but it's nice to find a digital body rig that doesn't try to change my identity as an artist, or soak photographers for big $$$.
from www.datavis.com
summary: i've been pentax user over 10 years since film slr camera.
from www.datavis.com
since i had some film slr experience and a lot of manual digital compact, i looked for mid-range models.
from www.datavis.com
one thought i heard is that it tends to make the pictures look more like those shot on film, which might be ok, unless your really looking for that super sharp contrasty shot.
from www.adorama.com
the pentax k10d is the digital slr that finally tempted me away from using solely film slrs and into the digital camera world.

Nikon D40

from www.adorama.com
i learned to about exposure better since it was manual to the point of rewinding film after the roll is exposed.
from www.adorama.com
the quality and speed is a vast improvement over my other digital camera, and the processing time is so much faster than my film slr.
from RichardT from Chicago, IL, www.circuitcity.com

from www.walmart.com
have owned several film 35 mm slr cameras and 3 point and shoot digital cameras.
from www1.wolfcamera.com
the manual focus doesn't have the "heft" of old film slrs and it will take me at least 6 months to read the manual and understand all the features.

Nikon D200

Best Price: $1,270.00

from photo.net
"the nikon d200 is a very good camera and anybody making the switch from a (high-end) film camera to digital should consider it."
from www.bhphotovideo.com
making the transition from medium format film to digital was a long process and i tried most of the digital cameras as they became available- this d-200 is the best i have tried, period.
from www.amazon.com
however, even though it's not a difficult camera to get aquainted with, i believe the d70s or a d50 would be a better choice for those just breaking into the dslr field from film.
from www.amazon.com
a nice touch...because of its complexity and price, i do not recommend this camera as a first digital slr, but do if you've used the nikon d70s dig-slr or any of the old 'n'-series nikon film slrs.
from www.amazon.com
though they are usable with d200 (with metering), manual focus is difficult because the viewfinder is not very bright (brighter than d70, but not as good as film camera).

yes, if you ramp up the iso, whether on the sd800 or any camera, digital or film, you're gonna see 'noise' or 'graininess'.

i have taken the same type shots with my minolta film camera from the early 80's and this camera surpasses it in quality.
from www.amazon.com
but it should be important to remember, as a digital camera, it's sensor is big, but not 35mm big, and this changes the proportions and angles from what a film camera shoots.

i have had digital cameras for years and have captured some great shots (usually in full sun and low iso), my wife is a pentax 35mm film buff (or should i say was).

has a fairly decent battery lifespan and, with the 18mm-200mm lens can do everything that required a large set of lenses (and the accompanying bag) that were needed in the past world of film cameras.
