Oh I was just reminded about a trip I took in 2002 to Halifax Nova Scotia. We were going to Peggy's Cove to shoot. I had a brand new Canon G2 digital camera and I'd left my main camera - an Elan 7E home because I thought that I'd get some good shots with the 4mp camera. We were late for our transportation (we were on a cruise ship) and hurried out leaving the battery (we only had one!) behind. I got all the way out there so disappointed not to have a camera so I bought a disposable camera (film) that cost me $25.00. 15 Frames. Every image was better than the next and I have printed all of them from that day and that camera and sold several of those images.
It's not the camera.
Very cool little story ChatKat, That just shows you some times the throw away gear works better then an expensive digital camera.

It's not that it works better. It's that a skilled photographer can get the most out of whatever equipment they've got. Of course Kat would have rather had the G2 to work with and likely would have been able to produce even better images with it. But a skilled photographer has a good enough understanding of the rules and a keen enough eye for the art to make due with anything in a pinch.
