Okay, now I'm just as confused. So with a digital camera, do you have memory cards that take the place of traditional rolls of film? What if you're going on a 2 week trip? And you need an interface for your computer, right? And do you need special software? And with a 35 mm SLR, with the good models, if the battery dies, you can theoratically still take pictures, although I'm not as concerned about this. And how many pics can you get with a digital camera? Is memory related to megapixels, or is this a function of picture quality? What about shutter lag time? Is this an issue with digital cameras?
(ok, be nice to me, I've got an old Canon AE1 that I operate in fully manual mode, so a lot of this shizzy is new to me)
