Decades back, I have invested so much for film cameras and lenses as photography was my hobby. Today, these cameras are packed in one of my suitcases. I dont know what to do with them. I had the NIKON F2AS, FA, F3 and other cheaper ones. I had also the 120 format cameras. They cost a lot during those days including the lenses. I have also accummulated sacks of photographs. Today, the digital cameras (they come in cheap in most models) have taken over the film camera where a mere 512 memory card can take thousands of pictures, saving you the costly films. The zooming capability is built-in thus needing no interchangeale lenses (bulky in your camera bag). With the use of computers, the images could be instantl viewed and printed. The images can likwise be easily edited - No need to do "bracketing" in the ordinary film camera. Digital cameras can also do movie clips and record sound. The use of digital camera is so simple that even a child of 5 can take photographs and movie clips. Digital imaging has made film photography obsolete.

I have this camera, 10X zoom is great, it makes a huge difference. 10X zoom is usable in video mode too

Yeh I know what you mean I have lenses and filters and stuff too, I love my digital cameras I would never go back, I do believe you can still sell these items on Ebay for a little, I guess anything is better than them just sitting there not being used but I don't know why people would bother with these once they tried the digitals...
