I've been using a fairly good flatbed scanner for years but just bought a film scanner and I'm amazed at how much better the results are. I also have a rather good digital camera (Olympus D-600L) and use it a lot, but still much prefer my Nikon SLRs. Until someone makes a multi-megapixel digital SLR with interchangeable lenses that costs less than a decent car, film is still best, at least for me. And quality lenses are what matters most. I don't understand why so many people put cheapy, off-brand zooms on good cameras.
