Fow any one who was wondering, in the Compact market Film beats digital hands down, that is because the sensor in most digital compacts is 22x smaller than a peice of 35mm film. (Digital sensor 7x5mm, film 36x24, draw 2 rectangles next to each other and you get the idea) That put film a step ahead especially at higher ISO's. I have a digital compact and use it, but I wouln't take ot to a wedding or recomend any to do that.
In SLR's there isn't such a big gap, the sensors are only half the size, but I am serprised Nikon are doing this, film will go the way of Vinyl in 20 years and not the way of the VHS tape or 8track ETC.
