I wouldn't say film is dead, but it's dying. Film isn't to digital like VCRs are to DVDs just yet. Remember, you have to have a computer to properly use a digital camera, and not everyone has a computer. But yeah, maybe you should sell that F100...invest in a digital camera. They are more expensive, but more convienient...if you have a computer.

Yes sell it and the sooner the better because as time goes by it is getting more and more difficult to sell film cameras.
On EBay at the moment the body is ranging from £185 ($300) to £235 ($420).
kma you are a prat.
Film does not come anywhere near digital for resolution or colour. It's very environmentally unfriendly and slow to process.
Anthony R you are wrong you DO NOT need a computer to print digital photos. There are dozens of high quality printers on the market which will print directly from a camera or memory card. Epson, Canon and HP all do many models. I wouldn't recommend a Lexmark, for one thing the cartridges are so expensive.

Just as soon as you sell old reliable, there will be some cleaver part to put into the back of the camera to turn it into a digital. It seems that there is enough room for the CCD and necessary SD card and where the film roll is battery. Hush! do the film manufactures hear us!

the 35 mm is dead for mass photography - point & shot cameras.
However 35mm SLR still a good choice.
To sell your Nikon try local camera stores or e-bay.
My advice: DO NOT SELL IT !! ...yet.
look at this:
a 35mm SLR price: 300 USD
a Digital SLR price: 1300 USD
so ...you have 1000 USD to spend on 35mm films and prints at very high resolution/quality.
My personal choice - digital - FZ-30. Reason: flexibility+I don't print to many pictures/photos. When I print I ask for 8.5x12" size only.

Yes, the film camera is slowly becoming a dinosaur. Even the biggest camera stores here in New Orleans aren't stocking hardly anything in the way of film.

Film can no longer match the quality of a high end digital camera.
Across the board, cameras of the same relative class, digital now vastly outperforms film.
There is no point to film anymore so it is dying fast.

No. i does not sell a digicam like that. sure, movie is getting replaced with the aid of electronic, however the marketplace will consistently be there and there is no extra desirable feeling than taking a photograph in simple terms on the nicely suited time, no longer understanding what it appears like, and in spite of each thing the anticipation of waiting, seeing the stepped forward print and loving it. Wow, that became into sappy, yet, yeah, in my opinion, i'd propose electronic for functional use, however the newness and the keenness of movie can no longer get replaced. I treasure kinfolk photos on 8x10 BW, they actually do say 1000 words.

Just remember that recordable CDs can lose their data within a few years and that a power surge can fry your hard drive. Negatives are permanent if taken care of and you will eventually lose your digitals. Professionally print your favorites when you can if you want to keep them.

You should keep your camera. Digital is nice but if you want quality film is the best.

Hang onto it.
Digital is more for convenience, but still cannot beat the color and quality of film prints.
