Am I old fashoned? What's wrong with a 20 dollar camara? Takes good pictures and I don't need a computer. If I drop it, no big deal. If I lose it, no biggie with that either.

I guess the difference is that the digitial camera is like right now for the picture , but as you say you do need a computer to print it out and if you drop it yes ... you trashed $160.00 but with a digital you can take pictures that you do not want anyone else to see if for yourself or someone else only a $20 camera or a throw away someone has to devolope the film and they do look aat the pictures while they devolope it and on a average it cost $4.00 to $5.00 a roll of film to devolope so if you are going to take naughty pictures do not use a film camera! use a digital camera that way only you see it and who it is intented for. other wise a lot of problems could arrise if the pictures get in the wrong hands.

Depends on what you want to do with your pictures. If you're just taking snapshots to share with family and friends, the inexpensive film cameras are fine. You can have the film scanned and put on CD so that you can e-mail them if you want.
As for your batteries, I don't know if your camera has a large LCD screen for viewing on the back? With some cameras, using the LCD screen really sucks up battery power fast. If that's the case, you can switch to the viewfinder to take your photos (check your manual), and that will use a lot less battery power.

Depending on how many times you use the flash, which my guess could be substantial in 2 hours, it is not surprising if the batteries go dead.
Are they rechargeable? In most cameras they are.
Why I like my digicamera - I don't have to story about envelopes of negatives if I want reprints. I don't have to pay to have someone print or burn the pictures to CD. I don't have to go to the store. I am in complete control of my pictures.
If I take a crummy picture I can delete it and take another one.
I can take a picture and have it printed out in 2 minutes.

sounds like you need to go back to your old camera. Some people are just not comfortable staying up to date with the technology changes. Beware, however, that most everyone around you will be using the new technology. So if you can, try to learn it and be positive about the advances and how much more you can do with the new cameras.

What was the camera brand? Some brands are better or worse than others. If not that, you may need to charge the batteries fully before the camera's first use.
