IMHO to put a pic here it has to go through a process of scanning in some way, therefore it's digital Of course it could then be manipulated in Photoshop or not.

So, is a 'traditional image' scanned and manipulated more or less digital than a straight unmanipulated pic captured with a digital camera?

In regards to the original question...

I don't have any experience with film. I didn't even become interested in photography until the digital era. I would like to try my hand at it, now that I have a basic understanding of photography. But, I'm solely digital. Not by preference of one over the other, just by chance I guess. I just happened to stumble upon it first.

Obviously for Professional photographers, high quality film production outways any digital comparisons.... However, for someone like me, who is a relative newbie, digital offers extremely easy and cost effective practice before the "next step" has to be made.

yeah...but the startup cost for anything "professional" for digital is a bit expensive. ;-)

on the other hand, developing film costs money also *shrugs*

Sorry about this useless post. I accidentally double posted, and was unable to delete this one, so I just put this explanation instead.

Note to Paul/Stephen:
Why am I unable to delete my own posts? Actually, don't reply to that, just wanted to note that it wouldn't let me delete my post. Said I had no permission. D'OH!

Can anyone recommend a scanner for 35mm film that is high quality, and works with Mac OSX? I have read that the CanoScan 8600f is good.

I think this statement is now outdated by about 2 years.

I don't, but I wish I did.

My best camera is still my film SLR. It is a Nikon FA with AI-s 50 mm and 28 mm and E-series 70-210 mm zoom lenses. I also have a motor drive and Speedlight flash, but the flash was ruined by leaky batteries (yes, my fault, completely).

I used to always shoot Kodachrome 64 or 25, making gorgeous, but expensive, photos.
