The conversion to digital was a lot easier than I would have thought.  Almost everything known about film imaging can be applied to digital imaging. Plus, you get all the benefits of digital which seem to be minimized by those that only have film based equipment. 

For example, a 4-8 mega pixel images is just as sharp and can be blown up just as much as a film based image which is theoretically equivalent to a 35 mega pixel digital image. In fact, I purchased a 4 mega pixel D2H because of its faster handling and appearance of images with greater clarity. I still haven't figured out why. Below are some additional advantages of digital:

• On a digital camera, the ISO number can be changed by rotating a dial.  With film, you have to change film or carry more than one body.

• The NEF raw data file contains a tremendous amount of information.  The exposure of an image can be changed after the image has already been captured.  You get a second chance.

• The exposure latitude of digital is similarly expanded due to the capability of the raw file.

• Due to burned out highlights, shooting with film is generally limited to the first and last 2 hours of each day.  Digital can be used throughout the day. 

There are a few other thoughts to consider when shooting with a digital camera.

• I can get 300+ 6-MB NEF files on a 2 Gig CF card.  Sure beats changing film every 36 shots when taking action images.

• Scanning negative or slides is a time consuming process. While the affect of dust and scratches can be minimized, scanning can lead to capturing the grain of the film.
