Why are they so expensive?

Fri Jul 28, 2006, 9:45 PM
Over the course of the past couple of months, I have been debating over buying a digital SLR. Now I love my regular manual 35mm SLR to death (Canon Rebel GII), but it seems the old days of photography are disappearing. Everyone is switching to digital. I understand they are nice and can be better quality, but I think the art of photography is being lost.

In my opinion, I find it a gratifying experience to develop your own photos. I think you get more out of it, but it seems to be the cheaper route in a sense to use digital. Especially in school. I know we had a tough time getting supplies at times in our High School class, but it was worth it.

I guess it would make sense for me to get a digital SLR.

One: It's convenient. I don't exactly have a darkroom in my house or the cash to set one up.

Two: They are basically the same in a sense. Not much of a difference between a digital and mine.

They are just way too expensive for me right now...Is it really worth it? Can someone tell me?

Thanks for the comment :)

The students at my school have permission to use the wall across from the main building as a graffiti wall... it's been going for as long as the school has existed, so there's a lot of paint on that wall. Recently the paint's just started coming off in chunks, but it looks amazing. Sad :(, but amazing.

No problem

Wow, that's really cool. I am a big fan of graffiti and things of that nature. I would assume it's only a matter of time before it begins to breakdown. Hopefully everyone keeps at it.
