Three years ago while I was purchasing my 35mm SLR camera I enquired
about 
digital cameras, the retailer at that stage didn't even keep any in
stock, 
they were simply a too expensive, slow moving item and at that stage he 
recommended developing my film as slides and scanning them in if I was
that 
keen. Today digital cameras are all through the camera shops and the 3 
megapixel camera are not too expensive, the speed at which these things 
have developed is really impressive.
