Digital cameras are kind of a pet peeve of mine. Far too many people don't understand that they can't get a photograph from one. Instead you get a computer print, either inkjet, laser, or whatever. With a photograph the negative will last virtually forever, as will a photograph with the images in the chemical solution on the paper. I recently came across some negatives that are pristine and are nearly 135 years old. It would be very easy to make a fine photograph from one of these. So what method will by used to extract a stored digital image in even 20 years? Far too many changes in technology to even think digital images are lasting or can be retrieved at a much later date. Having said that, if you remember that digital images are temporary and use the camera with that in mind, they are absolutely great. But please, don't take images of the grandchildren and expect your descendants to be able to see them in 100 years. Depending how you will be using your camera, depending what you demand in being able to obtain an image--it is my understanding that Nikon has a digital that will accommodate lenses which fit their 35 mm cameras. Sounds to me like that would be a right fine camera. Well if a person could afford it. There are a few of us old geezers that are still running Windows 95. Just make sure a camera will work with your system. I haven't yet found one that will work with mine. Now, go sit down and write a letter to your grandchilden if you have any. Similar to images, emails won't be around for long, letters will. I recently copied several from 1868.
