Hi James and welcome

You can look forward to using lots of memory on your computer with all the shots you will be able to take when you get your digital camera. They are definitely great to try out different techniques on the same scene and then be able to instantly view the differences and what works and what doesn't.

Welcome James This is a bit silly to say; but for the price a DSLR you can buy a lot of film and negative burns to CD. Yes I know.........I wish digital was never invented but can't be without it.

Do you use your 50 mm lens very much; used to be my favourite. Be game and send some photos in.
