I'm still of the opinion that a better alternative to a low-end digital camera is a low-end film point-and-shoot.

Joe - this isn't about film vs digital - but since you asked, film is a pain in the arse, you can't get the good classic films any more, photolabs have stopped processing film - it's not worth the hassle -- I was simply giving a commentary on this particular camera and what a particular disappointment it is - I'd certainly rather have bought the x-1 or a used rd-1 for the same price range

Have you sold off all your film camera's? There is still TriX...you don't like TriX

No! but you said all the classic films are gone...I was just asking a question, sorry I interrupted your day!

Sorry to have upset the apple cart with the dreaded mention of f*lm. Moderators should move this entire thread to the Digital vs F*lm subforum.

But my intention was not to start a religious war; rather, in reference to the comment about the $40 Hello Kitty digicam, I've recently been using a f*lm-based half-frame toy plastic camera from SuperHeadz, whose gelatin-based sensor I believe outperforms that in the Hello Kitty for an equivalent price.

You are correct in referencing the inconvenience of the post-processing aspect of f*lm-based sensors.
