    It still wont be anywhere near what film is like. You can get away with it if you are shooting for casual viewers, but it makes a big difference to those who can tell.

    if you use medium format, perhaps, butmosdt peeps cant tell the difference these days, and by film you mean consumer film? or mdeium format and above?

     

    the ccd resolution/size of chips is a problem atm, to get the closest to consumer film at 35mm you need the digital equivalent of somewhere in the region of 22mp - even pro-ish cameras are only about 12mp - the medium format digital cameras are 22mp, but who can afford £15,000 for one..

    [most people i know hire these out instead]

     

    for the average consumer film equivalent , current dslr's can take their place - but then its more about the photographer rather than than the equipment, as is oft said..

     

    my dslr is only 6.1mp but its taken shots that i think compare favourably with my old 35mm slr shots [but then i was a ###### shot in the first place! :) ]

     

    ..and, i should add, in digital you can modify the pics straight away - with film, unless youre scanning slide film or something, or getting it professionally scanned, to tweak your images via computer youre running the risk of losing shedloads of information from the scannig process [most consumer scanners are utter ######]

    Thats because the depth of field isnt shallow enough on digital cameras to do that. Its part of the reason I only use film.

    get a digital slr, or at least one of those top end ones that allow you manual / partial-manual control..

     

    canon 300d / digital rebels are probably down to us$450 these days..

    lol, i did say off the top of my head/

    my only reasoning was that i thought the g&g's were cheaper than the asc's.

     

    now i'm checking and the g&g averages at $470, with the asc at $488 ..

     

    i believe when i ordered one at asc it was down to 420, but that was a limited special offer price-cut..

    asc M14 k cheers dude, thats nice though, how much  and where you get it from?

    i got it 2nd hand, but you can buy it from any of the HK retailers - but i think the production times on these are either very slow or intermittent.

     

    try going for the G&G M14, as that is now in stock, or was, and is a production model rather than the TC/ASC one which is a limited/part-hand-made custom.

     

    i think the ASC is about us$450 and the G&G is around us$350 [off the top of my head]

    some great pictures here!

     

    another useful tip might be that alot of the digital or analogue cameras out there have a burst function.

    i find this useful when i know i'm handheld or cant ensure a stable point to shoot from [like a tripod].

    that way, when you shoot, you get 4-5 shots, and you end up with 4-5 to choose from, and usually at least one of these will be in focus nicely..
