    Quit bragging Matt, I'm fixin' to put a couple of "mods" on my girl too......

    BTW, I have a Maxxum series old School SLR. I loved mine. It took incredible 35mm pics when done right. They are very good cams IMO. I still have like 5 lenses and a bunch of filters and stuff with mine. That's actually one of the newer versions of the Maxxum series if I'm not mistaken.

    Like Matt said, get ready for the downfall of 35mm format.....expensive film and developing. You don't know what you've shot until you develop it....good or bad. After spending a ton of money of developing, you'll finally get to a point where you're good enough to get 99% of the shots you're looking for.

    The plus side to 35mm is that even middle of the road cams can shoot incredible pics in the hands of someone that knows what they're doing. Whereas a digicam requires you to have enough pixels to blow a pic up to "photo quality", the 35mm is ALREADY "photo" quality if shot right. Some wedding photographers still use 35mm today for some of their shots that are going to be blown up past 5x7. Why? It's much less expensive to buy a 35mm that can do that than it is to buy a digicam worthy of the same.

    Hope that helps.

    BTW, I'd keep both cams myself. Practice with the HP to get used to the manual settings. Then practice those skills onto the 35mm. Once you're comfortable with both.....THEN sell them and get you one GOOD digicam and be done with it.

    Cool, can't wait to find out. One thing we both need to work on for this year is getting those bodies with those numbers and letter. I think it was a 20 and a D
