eek Desicions decisions....

Thanks for they comments, I really appreciate it. I am still unsure what to do, but I feel I am getting closer to a decision. Mike, you are so correct with the overlap theory...and sadly a 5-6 mg digital is out of bounds financially for me until a later date.

The 4 MG digital I was about to purchase I feared that perhaps I would be semi-pleased with it's preformance, and I want to be fully pleased. I am concerned about the shutter-lag, not so much for my art needs, but for capturing moments when they happen.

As Michele mentioned...I am considering buying a SLR plus a simple digital ( not to break the bank...) to assist me in my needs, that way I get the best of both worlds. In a few years, then I might be able to purchase a 5 - 6 MG digital that will produce impressive results. And who knows what they will come up with in a few more years in relation to quality of the product.

I noticed great quality SLR cameras at really resonable prices when I was looking at digitals, which means for my money I will get a great camera, just have to stick with the traditional ways with film for awhile. And when I think about it, film has been there for us for years, so it isn't all bad. And with a low-range ( $$) digital, I can have the advantage of instant results etc. when I need them. Michael's comments of TIF files, and 3 plus MG to be taken into consideration. I really do think I can get both these for the same price one 4mg digital was going to cost me. I just have to wear the cost of film developing etc. for the SLR.
